Twain's Got Em Too!

[Route U]

Dad and I took a buddy out for the weekend on Twain and we went hog huntin.... lot's of running, caught fish everywhere we went, but found a few pigs in one particular area of the lake.

Dad caught these two on back to back flips to the same tree......



I followed up, picking up his scraps while I fishing out of my normal spot in the back of the boat.



Bumped them all and all (3) went over 15.5 with the biggest at 16.25, still full of eggs.

Here's where it got interesting......one other boat where we were at and they saw us releasing the toads. Came up and gave us a rash of **** for releasing them and not knifing them! Not sure why it mattered to them, just means the fish are back in there for someone else........I actually got pretty irritated with it, as did pops. It's our home lake where we spend a lot of time, energy, and resources so why not do our part? The lake is getting sained right now with everyone and their dog catchin fish......kinda sad cause it was really starting to produce.

I did hear that the gamers have been writing ticket after ticket for double dipping....

Kept (3) limits of eaters and had a fantastic weekend all around!

Nice fish guys! Always good to get dad out there and find the fish. And when people stick their nose where it don't belong, I have a tried and true method of dealing with it...... ignore em! Seriously, congrats, those are some real beauts.

Congrats on the pigs. Unless you are mounting a personal best why keep the pigs? Not as good eating as those 10's. Thanks for doing the good deed. Maybe someone can catch them again!

Thanks!

The best thing about it........ Dad's got the bug worse than I do. He's been fishing Twain since it was built and knows the lake like the back of his hand. He's my fishing and hunting partner, and has probably forgotten more than I might ever know. At age 28, I still try to soak up everything he has to offer.......but man he can catch a fish.
