Bayou Bienvenue Monster Trout 

He’s the best. Learned a lot from watching him over the years.

Thanks Mark!

Thanks for picking up on that Tim. Much appreciated.

It is. Nothing he did was harmful to that fish

You were right man! Taking forever. They ordered new cables but didn’t know they needed some adapter so they ordered the adapter last week. Supposed to get it back today or tomorrow but I’m not holding my breath. I should have bought those parts and came to Covington lol

Yep

Yep. I put gamakatsu EWG’s on.

Falcon 6’7” Medium light for the jerk bait. Jig on Medium 7’

I took the bass for granted until this year. It will be interesting to see them make the comeback.

Thanks Mike. Hope you get to make it out there soon.

Ouch!

Nice work Chuck! Good running into you again. I wondered about how you did. Thanks for the report.

I hope you're right. If there is a year for it, this feels like it could be the one. Feels like an upswing with the trout here after a few years of decline. We needed it.

I hope you have a great trip!

That’s a good trip! Can’t believe that fire is still burning

They’re everywhere! Crazy year.

Thanks Ron.

How many responses have you gotten from 700 tagged fish if i am understanding you correctly. i have been thinking of tagging too. Thanks in advance

As of now I have 693 tagged fish 172 redfish , 521trout and 23 recaptures , that average is about 30 tagged fish to 1 recapture , I’ve been primarily tagging bigger fish , but they don’t stay inside long heading out side , recently I gotten a report back saying one of my tagged redfish was captured out by the Chandelier islands it traveled 41 miles in 32 days from where I released it , had a trout do the same thing , same place it went , had a 27 inch redfish I tag ,42 days later it was caught again , distance from caught and released and caught again was 0.0.2 miles , I’ve actually recaptured 4 trout I tagged before in the general area last year , now im starting to tag a few smaller trout & reds just to see how long they stay in one area I tagged a lil red it was recaptured in the same spot 16 days later: Just checked my email , received a report of on one of my trout being recaptured today , 16 inch trout and was released again cool the trout’s journey continues , 12 days on the loose and caught again distance 0.91 miles , I post reports on Louisiana Troutman

Now my total now is 749 ,just receive 3 more reports back of anglers catching one of my tagged fish
