Finally caught a damn fish

@BizSuitStacy The trout guys consider smallies aggressive trash fish and want them killed off. They love trout!

@TexChik Awww. Nothing trashy about small mouth, and I'm a trout guy first.

@BizSuitStacy Trout are special and delicate, I get that. Small mouth are the bullies on the block.

@TexChik live minnow

@cherokeepatti nah. We have screwed up laws on what you can keep and I always try to put the big-ish ones back to keep breeding anyway.

@TexChik our river here is loaded with small mouth. Them, walleye and muskie are about all that we can get to bite this time of year.

@Notanymore I love throwing artificials . Here the "rubber" swim baits are already working .

@TexChik we use a lot of artificials here, but with the water temperature around 42, they don't like chasing as much. Plus it's easier to drink beer while drifting live baits.

@SW-User dammed up river small mouth.
