Default Finally big trout

All winter I've been trying to get a good fish above 5#'s well today was payoff day, big time!
Did three for four but "ALL" over 20"! I estimated a 24" fish at 5#'s or so while a 25" plus I would say probably 6# plus!
This fish was one of the hardest looking trout I believe I caught south of Alaska.
Had a open sore behind pectoral about 1" in diameter, his kype extended a full 1/2" beyond upper jaw.
Other than that the most beautiful whistle bow I got all winter!
Funny thing I ordered some new metal last week to restock for spring troutin'.
My supplier sent some extra small stuff that I don't use much, with
low water today it proved beyond a doubt even elephants eat peanuts!
What a great day on my fav NJ trout waters, still plenty of time & trout left to finish off winter season strong ,
Water temp mid 40's
Water low clear
All lures
Strong hits
Hatches all over trout workin'em
Used a new mono today Blackwater Toray Fluoro, exceptional fluoro carbon 100% line!

Even an old, half dead horse can take first place with some luck!

The line is exceptional high quality, also not cheap. It's made by Toray and are known for developing the best 100% flour carbon lines in the world.
The line behaves better than any mono I've used & used plenty of styles!
No memory whatsoever in the 4# I'm using , visible to me which is important since I'm a drift fisherman.
Outstanding overhand knot strength & very supple for light lure casts !
The best !!!
No more need for me to ever splice in TS of flour ever again!!
Blackwater is brand name Their lines especially their flours are w/o equal !

PM me for any details
Lou
