If we pull out the Google though...the biggest brook trout is only 15lbs...

Trout go anywhere from 0-40simmod lbs..@Master Bait'r

My lakes are heavy populated with big bass...I live in Texas...fishing is superb here. Catching them is the easy part...knowing you have the right tackle is what really disturbs me. We stock trout around d here but only for kid derbys and of course...to feed our big bass. Sorry...but if you're not in Texas...you should know it's pretty hard to compare a trout to these monsters....sorry...but I went there.

It feels really good to spool your reels with some brand new line...might have filled her up a little too much...oh well

What about a shaky head hook with a cut down senko on it texposed, would it be a shaky ned? Or just weedless ned rig?

Came home today, my girlfriend and daughter had a present for me. She didn't want to be in the picture, but that's my PB, only 4.26 lbs but she was proud of it and so am I. I love my girls!!!

@J Francho Thanks! I got overloaded..

@A-Jay No its a structure bug, wish I had plastics like that available to me but academy only has so much...would hate to waste 7 bucks on shipping for 1 thing of plastics @fishballer06 I wish I could get one to choke on it, I think it has to do something with my hookset, I keep sweeping/cracking it to the side and all my hooksets end up in the corner of their jaw...when I hold the rod to the side and low I can keep better tension and feel more than I do holding it straight out, any tips guys?

Thanks everyone for all of the information, it really helped me understand d where to look more, hopefully I can catch a big mama and as directed from here I will promptly release her, does this mean I can't take a weight? Or is that too much time from the water?

I don't know why I like it...he's only 2.32lb...caught on black and blue jig with rattle and a black and blue rage structure

Is this a spotted bass?

Is there any tale tell signs to finding a bed if you can't actually see into the water and bank fishing? I want to fish beds...I just have no clue how to locate them because I can only see 3-4 feet down from the shores...or are beds everywhere and anywhere?

My mind just got blown...so there's more than LMB SMB and RB?! Can anyone post some more pics of these "Shoalies and Mean Mouths"??? I don't understand...
