my friend julie and i hit west bay this am. not too early, too tired from moving. juie threw back a 15ish trout she snagged on a topwater. i had a little thump on my tequila gold bull minnow and set the hook. the fish swam towards me and i started to feel a little weight on the end as it got closer. i thought i had a flounder. the fish surfaced and it was a huge trout. 26 1/2 inches and 6.5 lbs on the boga!! she swallowed it all the way down and was bleeding so i had to string her. we had numerous trout and rat red throwbacks and then a school of keeper reds came thru just as julie was going back to the boat. i had one big red on then it swam into my stringer and came off. next cast i strung a 25inch red. 2-3 casts later i strung another red around 22. the bite died after that and we were back at the house and had the fish and boat cleaned by 1230. i think i'm going to like it here. tequila gold works too texxan1!! thanks for the hint.
i have a cleaning table pic i may post later.

ps. i heard JT (junior trout) was on the bay but didn't have quite as good of a stringer!!!
