Went out to the same general area I caught all the trout yesterday and the winds were considerably slower and so was the bite. However, I did catch and release 12 nice keeper trout and a bunch of dinks. The two biggest were 22 and 23.

But the most excitement I had was with the one fish I didn't catch. I was working my sand eel and I get a bite and I go to set the hook and I miss it. My lure comes out of the water followed by a big yellow mouth that was trying to catch it in the air but missed. Splashed back in and swam off. A heart throbbing 3 seconds. Awesome

I guess you might say you missed the new state record? Laughing

Just curious, do any of these trout ever look up and say, "you again ?"

You are living the dream. Those are some nice looking trout right there.

There's no better way to social distance than be out by yourself in the boat catching some fish.

Nice day.

I swear Mar 20 kayak trip I had a 25" sow trout come unhooked, and my buddy caught it...
(of course you don't get the short-focal-length false perspective)

I think something similar happened in Rattlesnake Bay, far south TX 3 years ago - I had another big trout come unhooked, and my buddy paddled over one in a sand hole he said was 30"
