Good lookin box of fish you got there.
GL you seem to one bitter human... The best part about hunting and fishing is telling the stories that come with the trip. If that means putting some exageration in them for a good story then there is nothing wrong with that. Go be a school teacher so you can correct everything kids do wrong with you pathetic need of perfection.
Once again grats man looks like you caught some nice specs in tough conditions.
FIrst off congrats on the fish. I was out there this morning in the rain also wasnt too bad. good day for fishing in chest waders. stayed dry. As for as the size not 2- to 4 pounds. as for as catching them in 30 minutes that would be true as there was several hundred seagulls diving in falgout canal(not the norm for sure) and easy to catch fish for sure although i went to lake but did fish them for a bit on way back in.
as far as sizes
ive meaasured some fish before and weighed them to ahve an idea what is what as i release a lot of the fish i catch.
16 inch fish-usually 1 lb 6 oz to 1 lb 8oz
17 inch fish-usually 1 lb 10 oz to 1 lb 12 0z
18 inch fish-usually 2 lb to 2 lb 4 oz
19 inch fish usually 2 lb 4 to 2 lb10 oz
20 inch fish usually 2-lb 10 oz to 3 lb
21 inch fish usually 2 lb 12 oz to 3 lb 6 oz
22 inch fish usually 3 lb 6 to near 4 lb
23 inch usually 4 ib up to 4 lb 12 oz
24 inch 4 lb 8 oz to 5 plus
25 inch dont castch enough of those to measure
obciously as the fish get bigger the size varies a lot more. also in some areas fish seem to always be short and chunky --dularge -lake boudreacx ive notice and fish seam to be little longer in slimmer in gemeral in pointau chene and grand isle. obvioulsly dont fish some of the other areas but sure the same takes place in those areas also. course a fish full of eggs will also weigh in higher per inch that during other parts of year although fish are really fat at this time of year as they have has abundant food during sept and october
I never imagined that this post would cause such an uproar. I started fishing for trout 2 years ago and have gone out and come back many times empty handed. I was proud that me and my buddy braved the elements and did pretty well. All I hoped to do was to show off a d brag a little, but at the same time give the exact location and bait used in hopes of maybe helping someone else catch some. Never thought people would be so critical. At the end of the day, we had a great time and caught some good fish. So as far as I'm concerned that's all that matters. Thanks to all the guys for the positive reinforcement, y'all may not realize, but there are a lot of guys like me that use your advice and appreciate the help.
Again nice fish. I tink i spoke to you at launch this morning. See your from Greenwell Springs and was talking to someone from Baton Rouge thinking was you. Just to clear up my comments were in know way knocking your post . Only thing I said was that they were not all 2 to 4 pounds but that they were good fish, that 20 incher would be close to 3 pounds. As for as catching a limit in 30 minutes easily done have done many times as has many others on this site. To GI when they are biting every cast and its good keeper fish its easy to catch 25 in half an hour and with a double rig in much less time. And as i said before there was a herd of trout in falgout canal itself this morning the rain etc has the trout chasing small shrimp like crazy. and to your comment that a 2 pound trout is at least 20 inches that is way off as a 2 pound trout is in the 17-18 inch range. a 20 inch trout is much nearer to 3 pounds and at least 2 and a half. I spend most of my trout fishing days throwing topwater , jerkbaits, and bigger plastics for bigger trout so am really familiar with the sizes in inches compared to pounds. Again great catch and keep on fishing and ignore GI as he was right on maybe 1 of 10 things he said
Drew-b changed his name and is at it again I see. He couldn't catch a fish if the birds were diving. Drew-b/ GI dude really quit surfing in here and actually go do some fishing and quit bashing everyone else really!!!! It does get really old. O and don't go and start bashing me next cause I can walk it and talk it now get u some of that!!!
great box of specks, and thanks for an outstanding report in terms of where,when,and what bait was used, anyone would be proud of that box and how quick you filled it. forget any negative comments, 99% of the posters on this site are outstanding people and fisherman and like you are willing to share information and techniques on how to catch more fish and in different environments, so rock on with ya bad self lol
great catch dude be proud and dont worry about gi specks and reds(drew-b)!! he always belittles everyone on this site just get use to it and believe me its hard to do!! i guess he has an inferiority complex or brain cloud, he cant help it, its in his genes!!! always got to act like the lil girl he is!!!! why, drew, do you want to call the guy a liar and u sure are! oh, i forgot, u were being sarcastic as a usual excuse!!
sorry the rules of lsm is i cant respond to idiotic posts and i want to follow the rules, hope u understand!!!! i do think shark tamer just proved u wrong with his actual facts on lengths and weights of fish!!! gi, please start following the rules of lsm, like i do!! thanks!! how can u see thru ice in a ice chest by the way???? ice-ray vision??? thank you for asking GOD to have mercy on me and everyone, we sure do appreciate that thought!!
oh yea forgot nice catch and info unlike some who only use the forum for advertising and not to help others with tips. i fished dularge for the first time last week, hauled the big kenner over there, thursday caught only but 5 fish, fished decade, raccourci, and mechant. found lots of little ones in mechant, under the birds, did not see many people catching that day dont know if it was an off day or my inexperience with the area. I usually always catch fish in golden meadow as i know the area, born and raised, but wanted to change the scenery and try something different.
'motorboat...you consistently side with drewb/Gi when ever he bashes an opinion (which is always). You been called his alter ego many times. Do not operate in a bubble sir.'
You consistently disagree with GI on every thread he posts in...immediately. I don't even know GI. I do know Drew-B.
'You and he are two peas, I am sorry, one pea in a pot.'
The correct phrase is 'two peas in a pod'. We are very different people--I assure you.
'As to my fishing skills, you, as he, make these personal attacks to justify your own stupidity and lack of any substantial knowledge that one can add to this site.'
I have plenty of experience. Please show me where I justify my stupidity. If you think I'm stupid, what must you think of some others here?
'Surely, I am correct are why is it that you both 'quit' the site on many occasions, then within hours return. You both use different names to hide your foolish actons, obviously proving that you, yourself are even embarrassed by your girlish behavior.'
I'm not embarrassed, but maybe you should be. Your life consists of chasing GI around a website. I know you don't work.
'Man up son, and congratulate a sportsman you posted a great report, about a great catch, and even gave locations.'
I congratulated the OP, fool. Just kept it real by saying that none pictured are much over 2 lbs. No one here has agreed that ANYTHING in that box was close to 4 lbs--for a freaking reason--they are not 4lb fish!!!
'As to the croaking male trout, you again missed the boat, and distorted the facts to support an argument you know nothing about. As I stated, your self proclaim genius tried to convince many veteran fishermen his croaker was a white trout. That happen this summer, but we have been laughing about it since. In fact, we laugh alot about GI/drewb.'
Good--he can actually be really funny.
This thread is the perfect example of what not to do.
On one hand you have a guy,fairly new at this catching and posting thing.Like a virgin he is not really sure about anything but goes ahead and dives in and makes his post.
It's cool,we understand you're new to this.
Then you have the regulars saying,'good catch,nice box,ignore the haters because they'll come'
Then you have the predictable haters. They come in and narrow down the poundage on said fish ,basically trolling the board,fishing for commentary in which they are readily met with and this just continues to feed their appetite for attention.
Nobody here hates anybody.Let people post reports,grow thicker skin.
Let people comment on them.It's pretty much done with total anonymity so who cares.
My final bit of advice,everybody just keep doing what you're doing.Nobody is stealing from your family,nobody is attacking your friends,nobody is stealing money from you.It's fun.
MOJO
Let's see who is the best fisherman of all times. You guys claim you are better fisherman than the other ones. Why not settle this once and for all? Why don't ya'll have a tournament in a neutral area where none of you have ever fished? That way all of us readers can see who is truely the greatest fisherman OF ALL TIMES.
I'll host the event in Dulac since Grand Isle is not neutral for these guys. Only thing is that pedelet cannot stay at my camp.
GI and pedelet each get one fishing partner that is not me. I'll forego my hunting trip this weekend in NELA to see this in SELA.
Pedelet: find you a place to stay and it can be done.
GI: get permission to leave and me, you and your fishing partner of choice can head down Friday night.
We will hash out details later.
Question to moderators. Since it seems that every now and then a post turns into a whos got a bigger....well you get the picture. On this website there are hunting, fishing, general,etc areas to post. Why not create another part of the website to move all posts lik e this one to. Call it the 'verbal boxing' section or whatever you want. But it will atleast move all this garbage out of hunting and fishing. BTW to the OP nice mess of fish. Keep it up.
Personally, this stuff doesnt bother me. I just think its extremly childish and immature. And its a shame that a fishing report has 70 comments and maybe only 5 are about his fishing trip. Skins plenty thick enough. Point is this post no longer has anything to do with the original subject. Its all a big argument fest.
u are complaining peledet made a personal attack on somebodies wife who cant post back to defend themselves!! u remember u made a personal attack on my daughter and grandson, just last week or so, which i will never, never forget ever!!!!! my blood is still boiling and will continue to boil until!!! deny that gi-drew!!! sorry lsm couldnt let him get away with that!! cant wait to hear your answer!!!
two wrongs make a right, what in the world do you mean?? dont cop out, did u or did u not, attack my family personally??? oh, by the way, the correct answer is yes, if u are anything close to being a man, which i know u sure aint!! what is your answer, simple, yes or no???? everyone is waiting!!! the truth or a lie??? no one should attack anyones family ever!!! sorry again lsm, i apologize!!!!
honest answer, thanks!!! but now, my question is WHY DID U DO THAT, absolutly the wrong thing to do, dont u agree?? i would never, ever belittle someones family, because i dont like what someone says or does!!! did i or my family, ever say anything about your family, of course not, so why did u say something about my daughter and grandson, who never said anything about you?? and the little yellow lab, trained to the max and a super duck dog, not many any better by the way!!!! still very proud of my grandson for the job he did!!!
Well...well...I HATE YOU!
Oh yeah? Well...I hate you more!
Nu-uhh, I hate you more!
Oh yeah? Well...I hated you first!
Nu-uhh, I hated you first and you stink!
Oh yeah? Well...you stink and yer stuuuuupid!
Nu-uhh, you stink and...and...WAAAAAA-HAAAAAA, MAAAMAA, he said I'm stuuuuupid!!!
What a buncha maroons.
u are absolutly a mental case!!! u cant even answer a direct question, taking the 4th so it dont incriminate you, who cares!!! you know i have never said anything about yur family, u just dont know how to defend yourself anymore, cant think of anymore lies to tell!!! end of this story, no more chances for you, its absolutly over!!! will defintly c u at the bridgeside one day guaranteed!!! we'll hash it out then, wont take but a second, u are such a lil girl!!! again sorry lsm, but thats it for me and this fool, thanks for your patience!!

26 Inch Spackled Trout Caught From Kayak
Ameyer6 - Congratulations on a nice box of Specks! Please ignore the Nattering Nabobs Of Negativism and glory in the fact that you caught a nice mess of fish. I'm happy for you that you had a great day on the water.
By the way, I am the kayak fisherman who caught the 26 inch Spackled Trout. I feel somehow cheated & ripped off that lightweights like Kemo Sabe and Lord Bud attacked me and I didn't even get a Dishonorable Mention from the King Of Criticism, GI/Drew. I'm going to pout & sulk now...
Every time I post a report I try to be helpful and mention what I used to catch my fish. If I had a bad day on the water I also try to 'splain where I went wrong so nobody else makes the same mistakes I did.
Best wishes for lots of fishes!
Mark/ 100FFC
You're a doody-head!
No, YOU'RE a doody-head!!
No, YOU'RE a doody-head!!!
Here's an idea, I have some 24 ounce boxing gloves, and heavily padded headgear. I also have access to a boxing ring. With the huge gloves and extra thick headgear, nobody will get hurt. Settle this once and for all. First one to cry UNCLE is the loser. REGARDLESS of who wins, none of the bickerers can ever address the other. I can videotape it for all to see on this site...
We can sale tickets for $5 each and THAT money will go to the Catch a Dream Foundation. It is like the Make A Wish Foundation but only does hunting/fishing trips because Make A Wish will not do that anymore.
You guys are very entertaining. No fighting, no name calling ,no staying at someones camp. Tow your rigs to a neutral boat launch fish from day break to weight in time. The guy with the most weight of 25 legal specks win. You all talk a good game, lets see who can back it up!! Over 2300 viewers of post would like to see who is the best.
Drewb you seriously need to seek out some help from a mental Dr if your not already in an institution somewhere . I mean , who has time to act out 4 or 5 roles on a fishing website all day , everyday ???
JB I think the boxing match would be more appropriate too ! Things can and do get out of hand at the end of the day back at the boat launch . This way no one can get seriously injured . I would surely pay to see this .
Beast I think your on to something too with the GI-Drew thingy .. It almost sounds like GI-Jane ? Who knows it might be drewbs new name ?
'Confused'
Yes you are. Very.
'motorboat..I am not sure what you mean by the behind bars comment so please explain. I am quit interested to know what that means. I have seen your 'camp' and I have seen drewb's wife, neither one is impressive.'
I mean that my camp is better than a prison, but it could be converted to something better. If you are going to bash someone's wife, then let's see pics of your wife, tough guy. When have you seen my camp? Do I need to alert the authorities, you creep?
'This topic got off topic as usual by drewb because he was envious someone did something he cannot.'
It got off topic because people see GI post and immediately jump on it as being negative. Re-read it. All the post does is make an observation.
'As to the tourney, I am still in. Pick a charity, lets get an escrow, which is bonded and we fish. You seem to fail to answer any of this, just run your mouth with no supportive facts.'
Already answered. If I'm hosting, I make the rules. $1500 a man, pick your non guide partner, Pedelet is barred from staying at my awesome camp, losers' money goes to CCA. Real simple and has already been answered. Just read the transcript.
'But as before motorboat, drewb, Gi are whoever you profess to be today, keep hiding behind your keyboards and make big boy threats will wearing little girl panties.'
I am motorboat, no one else. Delusion continues...
Didn't realize you had a 'wife'. I also missed Louisiana legalizing that type of marriage.
I'm making the rules since I offered to host. what are you so touchy about my behind bars comment? It was a metaphor. My camp is small and cramped but it sits on some awesome property, just like some jails I've seen. What are YOU reading into this?
I think yall should have a fishing tournament. Organize it in a better way than what yall are trying here. Scratch the money, do it for bragging rights and loser buys the beers for the night. Thats what fishing is about. You never know, yall may become friends out of it.
The boxing match would head south quickly, i believe too many people want a piece of drew/GI/Motorboat. You've never done anything to me personally, but id still go for the beer and i could be the 'official' judge on who has the hottest wife since this seems to be a growing problem. Maybe in the morning we could do fishing, afternoon boxing tournament, then at night the wives walk the catwalk. $10 per person...Settle all of this in one day ahahhaha
On a serious note, i think it would be kool if everybody gets together one day. I think when it comes down to it, we are all good guys with just too much time on our hands.
Actually, giving a specific spot matters little. Each trip is different. It depends on tide, water conditions, and time of year. I know some spots that only produce in narrow date windows because fish transition through them. Fishing those spots the other 50 weeks of the year is a waste of time.
Giving spots is a great strategy for those not fishing conditions and just chasing reports. Its like a fake handoff.
And sometimes a fake punt :) if you know what I mean
GI...I'm just enjoying the show :) Lots of silliness here in this thread. Someone worried about giving away a specific spot, and I'm saying don't sweat it. In fact, giving away a spot is a great strategy. They go left, I go right and have it to myself. Even better is fishing the popular spots in the afternoon after everyone has left.
well the OP never said that was a 48 quart ice chest so if thats a 72 quart ice chest how big are those fish then huh?
size is relative and until you see the fish in person and know the size of the ice chest then NOBODY can say for sure how accurate the OP guesstimate of the fish sizes are. i believe even he did mention he might be off with his estimate a little yet some ''haters'' have to put down others as a favorite passtime.
GI specks and reds aka drew b and a few other names he uses is the same guy and he is the same type of wanna be know it all troll you see on most forums. they just want to be the center of attention no matter what so they seek some form of self worth by trying to show they know more or are somehow better then others.
most forums will actively seek to stop members from having multiple accounts wether its for bypassing bans or just harassing other members. for this very reason most forum websites use the IP address to confirm this, i guess this site doesnt have the time or the skilled people to do this but i hope they care enough to start doing it.
Ok this has gotta be a joke of some sort or some serious trolling.
Honestly who cares if the fish is 2lbs or 200lbs the guy wanted to share a story with other sportsman because it's enjoyable to hear. For those of you pointing out the flaws in his story you are blunt, boring, and ignorant human beings. I mean who wants to actually hear a story told EXACTLY how it happened. This is why it's a story... you are allowed to exagerate a little bit to improve the quality of the story telling.
Let me guess when your grandpa told you he had to walk through the snow and over the railroad tracks when you were a young child you called him on that too.
Seems to me like a bunch of yuppies that talk a lot but wont go with a challenge to back it up.
This poor fella was all about showing his spirit fingers about catching a nice mess of fish, and then 119 comments later we have a fishing, boxing, hot/not wife, does ole boy have a nice camp or not, etc. Well at least I have something to read while I'm laying a hot steamer at work. Meyer keep on keeping on man.
Man, good read here lol. Definitely passes the time at work. I'm not here to pick sides or anything like that, but just some observations I made: I see the fish measured is around 21'-22', this would most likely put it closer to 3 lbs. than 2 if not a little over 3. So by saying that these trout are no 2-4 lbs. trout is a bit nit picky. While you may be factually correct GI, the difference between these trout and 2-4 lbs. trout is unsubstantial. You can defend yourself all you'd like, but that was low. Also, while that most likley is a 48 quart chest, you can see no such numbers on the box. He's measuring on a seperate scale. And as far as the hottest wife quarrel goes ... sorry but I win that hands down. You children keep it up, you're entertaining. And BTW to the OP: Really nice catch you have there buddy, good job!
The ice chest is a 90qt igloo that fits under the seat of my boat.
Since I unknowingly started this huge pissing contest, do I get a bid into whatever fishing contest? I'm not married with a hot wife, but my gf is pretty hot. I don't have a camp but I've got a couple friends with nice camps in fourchon and on GI. I figure I should get something out of all of this. Btw the biggest fish was 3.9, smallest was 1.5. We went back yesterday and filled another box.
Dr. Spot
Dr. Spot's wife with a 4.75 lb Lake Borgne trout. And that, gentlemen, is how you make a lady happy.
Another comparison. My wife with a 4.75 lb trout (Campo's scale) out by the Navy station, weighed on the Campo's scale, length around 23.5 inches. We thought she had a redfish because it pulled drag and stayed down, then at the side of the boat that big old yellow mouth came up shaking. I netted it quickly before I had time to think about it, then we both looked at it somewhat shocked.
I've caught quite a few 3lbers, but can't honestly say a 4lber (in Louisiana). My wife has me beat! Trout above 4 lbs are actually a specialty and need to be targeted for consistent catching. I have caught a 6lber, but in Texas...it was a beast.
Ty beast but I always look at it like this. There is always someone else out there than can out fish me. But I can say that I can hold my own. Just look at the fish John Rucker posted. My personal biggest is 7.7lbs. But with big fish John Rucker is hard to beat for sure. Dr.spot if only I could find a woman that could catch a trout that size she would be wearing a nice big rock on her finger!!! Great fish!
23 inch speck
Rucker,last week you said you had a 5 or 6 lber underneath the other trout in byu b(LOL).My personal best is two 8.5 lbers from Black Bay.Had one mounted but lost it in Katrina.The other one came out terrible ,looked like a plastic fake model,gave it to boat dealership.
We caught this one on the inside last week(23 inch).No big trout in DELACROIX ...LOL Catching big trout takes some skill but it is still 99% LUCK.Maybe tomorrow i will catch a box of 2-4lbers myself..LOL LOL..LOL...
Capt Henry
This trout was right under 28 inches and was 8lbs. Notice the belly on it? It was full of eggs!
Capt Henry
This was a 26.5in trout that was 7lbs my 11 year old caught
Capt Henry
This was a 25 in trout that we guessed 5ish lbs
Attack you??? Lightweight?? You've got to be joking! I didn't do any attacking. I'm not going to come on here getting into a pissing match. I've been around Lake Ps big trout long. a 26in trout would be 6.5lbs.
http://www.rodnreel.com/fishcharts/fishchartdisplay.asp?FishID=77
Heres a few pics of some trout for you!
Capt. Kim,
For the first time ever I will disagree with you. I personally don't think catching trophy trout is 99% luck. I'd say it's more 70/30. You need to put yourself in position to catch the big ones. Location, Conditions, Baits, Skill, Patience all are huge factors in my opinion.
Sure, the average joe can go out and get lucky and catch a 7 pound trout. When you start catching multiple 7+ pound fish your doing something more than the average angler. You may think I am wrong but that's my opinion. Obviously you have a TON more experience, skill, and knowledge than me but in my 4 years of hardcore fishing and catching 6 trophy trout in that timeframe, it is what I have noticed.
I would love to one day be able to pick your brain. There is so much fishing knowledge in that head that I want to learn!
RUCKER,Yea i know that,that is why i said i cover mine up with 12 inchers...This whole report needs to go in the can....everybody getting their panties all twisted up.. This is the part of this site i can't stand ,all of this petty back and forth bickering over nothing worth while.
GOOD NITE.. Going in the am to catch my small trout so i don't start a big to-do about nothing.
takes real tallent to catch em like this
this one nearly pulled me in
cant beat me in the cat dep. either ha
awwww ya well i catch all the little ones two at a time, every cast, and bet anyone on this site that i can catch more throw backs than you can. I have never seen one small fish posted from any of you guys, who wants to challange me?
I sometimes talk to myself , like if I'm working on something or even when I'm fishing on occasion .
Once I saw a guy walking down the road having an argument to himself ! But I'll be damn if I'm going to carry a conversation with myself typing the words on the computer !
C'mon drew !! Get a grip baby ! Things will get better !
RUCKER,I agree with you if you targeting big fish then maybe 70/30 but the guy who can't cast out the boat gets a 7 lber than that is luck.Had a guy on the boat last fall about this time had his line hanging off the side of the boat a caught a 5-6 lber.Maybe he was targeting big trout also ....LOL Big fish are nice to brag about ,but i like catching fish on every cast...
My brain is full of info....
Ya know GI you used to have a picture up on this site in case you forgot. Brown hair with costas, sort of 'thick' neck, holding a bass with a white camry/avalon in the background. I believe you were fishing a 'private' pond. You can make the argument that it was not you in the picture, but thats what i remember you having on your profile.
By the way, I really want this fishing tournament to go through.
I want the tournament to go on too but we can't seem to agree on the rules. No way in heck could I allow anyone on this site to give money to Peledet or any bonded escrow he endorses. He is not to be trusted.
I originally agreed to host, and I stand by this. I just made the call to skip hunting and to head down tomorrow night to Dulac. I'll get Toutie at Four Points to hold the money. Heaviest five trout stringer plus redfish under 27' gets their money back. The remainder will go to CCA, not CASA, since this is a fish related event.
I just emailed GI to come, but he corrected my grammar in the email, so I dis-invited him. He can stay with Pedelet.
i sure am confused, i guess thats because u are right, i am an idiot and u are a lot smarter than me!!! u said on here u dont fish those lil stinky green fish, but on another post, biggest bass i ever caught, u said u caught bigger bass on a 6 ought hook with a piece of corn on it in private waters than he caught in a pond??? well, which is it?? u fish lil stinky green fish or u dont fish lil stinky green fish??? which one is a lie and which one aunt??? just trying to clarify or am i like u, no reading comprehension??? when u comment, dont try to comment like the admiral, cause u are defintly not good at it, just like anything else!!! enlighten all of us please and try the truth this one time!!!

Deepdropping For Grouper From A Kayak
Gaspard - that was a great post! Funny as hell. I needed a good laugh today.
I was ready to post a thread about Deepdropping For Tilefish From A Kayak In 700 Foot Of Water but out of consideration for Lord Bud and Kemo Sabe I decided against it.

Nice Box Ameyer6!
Don't listen to the negative comments. Its not that big of a deal.
Just keep fishing and posting!
