Give me the top Trout Magnet colors
It seems Bison and Sow Bug are popular. What else you got? Do you tip them with a red worm or meal worm?

Interesting catch for 2lb test line!
My son with a nice crappie he caught on a nightcrawler. Then, my son holding a 25lb carp that I caught on the Major Craft Finetail Area SUL pole using 2lb SOS line! What an epic battle!

A few from today
I missed the best fish; think it was a brute redear. These were caught on the Yamaga Blanks Blue Current iii and Zenon 1000s reel.

I wonder if my 2lb SOS line would land a 3lb shellcracker? I reckon it would with how loose my drag typically is set. Might take 5 minutes to land!
