I recently caught a giant 30 1/4” inch 9 pound trout and a good friend on the same trip caught one 29” that went 7.7 pounds. Any recommendations for someone in southeast Louisiana to do a replica mount for us? I’m not opposed to get one shipped if that is a viable option.

He was shaking more than me because I didn’t know how special the fish was until it hit the board. He’s a great dude to fish with.

I’ll post a full recap of the trip with pictures when I get home, but we had two unreal days of fishing. I broke the dirty thirty this morning with a 30 1/4” 9 pound trout this morning. Overall, our four guys caught a 9, a 7.7, and six more fish over 6 and almost all of them were on top water. We all broke our PB’s.

I went Tuesday to Shell Beach and blasted the specks. The shrimp/fish were loaded in the cuts off Lake Borgne. The wind has been blowing like crazy the last few days so I don’t know how that will affect everything but the fish want to be there gorging on shrimp. The wind should be ok Saturday but the tide is a little wonky. You won’t need live shrimp if you find the fish, they are hungry and will eat plastics just fine.

I played Gullane 1 and 2, the Renaissance, and North Berwick this year. The courses of East Lothian are unbelievable and I loved it. I also took a look around the clubhouse of Muirfield and the history was a must do.

He actually won the 2nd event of the year on Lake Norman with the NPFL. A bunch of the old school guys seem to really like the NPFL with the no scoping.

The rumor is it was him or Matt Robertson which would make sense. The reality is that anglers are supposed to report rule infractions or they can be subject to penalties as well. I don’t dislike Scott Martin but it sounds like he has made a career out of bending the rules and it’s no secret amongst his peers. Anglers wanted a level playing field and they BASS is making the hard decisions.

He decided to quit Bass to save face because he was about to get DQ’d for asking for info during the off limits for the second consecutive event. He can step back and focus on social media and be fine but his credibility as a professional angler is shot. From listening to other anglers, this was a long time coming, as he has a long history of bending/breaking rules. BASS has had a rough couple of years but atleast they didn’t show favoritism toward one of their biggest stars.

I had mine repaired with my patella tendon and it was terrible pain for about five days. Once I forced myself to get out of bed to get some sunshine, my attitude changed and it was much better. Make sure you bust your arse with PT, it hurts and it’s miserable but it’s worth it.

Broad church is really good as well
