trout pix; ice doggs

[troutpirate]

heres a few pix of some recent catches.

the weather was cold and walking through a foot of snow carrying all your ice fishing gear sucks............... but its all worth it when your fishing in 4 feet of crystal clear water and you see a big trout come into your hole and smash your hook.



am i crazy or are my fellow flyfishers(that look down on ice fishing) missing out on some of the best sight fishing of the year?










merry x-mas and i hope to see some of you guys at hasse lake on dec 28

I had to read that a couple times too. Those fish are from mountain lakes... Someone has got a honey hole.

You guys are calling this guy a trout god! What you really dont know is that that rainbow is the same fish taken with a change of clothing and a change of venue how do I know, I took the second pic! The pic of the brookie well that is my fish he wanted to take credit for so he could beat his brother in a Fish and game association award. Want proof I have the pic of me holding it plus its sitting in my freezer still waiting to be mounted. Why did I let him do it Im not sure a moment of very poor judgment I guess, but the pics of those rainbows is the last straw for me his arrogance has fueled a fire in me and I cant stand that guy. Those fish are poached! They are out of a closed stocked pond not a honey hole or mountain lake! Closed to everyone! These are illegally caught and posting them here is a serious insult to this forum and everyone on it. And entering them into a legitimate contest is highly unethical. I also want to confirm I had no part in fishing with him when he caught this fish. All so he can beat his brother for a silly award. Did I call RAP on him no but it crossed my mind I am not a rat but taking credit for the same fish twice and posting a pic of someone elses fish for credit my GOD what a ****ing douche bag. What do you got to say troutpirate are you gonna call me a liar? I have the pics from your camera with the pond in the background for proof. Your a ****in goof dont ever cross my path! No I am not jealous my fish are all caught legally.

Here's the pic of me holding MY brook trout and for the record tht is my rod and reel in the pic he posted.


His original pic of that rainbow that he was afraid to post because someone might recognise the background. Does it look like swan lake to you because this is where he told the Hinton Fish and Game association he caught it.

WOW trout what do you have to say for yourself Kevin that brookie is a hawg!!!!!!! nice catch its a shame someone else tried to take credit fo it

[jts1]

Wow........
