He could be. These are planted fish in Alpine County.

Thanks Oldbass and Saw1:

We catch Sea Trout down here but on one of my trips to the Carolina's we stopped and caught some I think Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout in a small pond with corn kernels. Never used anything like that before fishing not even for brim and sunfish. We caught quite a few small but fun on our real light tackle. I remember the manager of the bait shop telling us they eat the corn as it looks like eggs, and the fish were all farm raised.
We cooked them whole over a campfire was a good memory, like many things today just memories!!.
I remember saying the national anthem is school and praying not when needed but just to pray and be thankful for what we had. Gob Bless the USA we need it more now than ever!!

Nice catching Wild Rainbows!!! Always fun catching in creeks or small rivers!! I'm leaving on 12th for Alaska Cruise, just a fyi. Probably not fishing this week so I can rest up for cruise! lol!

Beautiful fish, Steve. Makes my mouth water. But I don’t understand why filleting the trout was problematic. What went wrong? Why wouldn’t they fillet like a striper or a salmon? I’m genuinely curious. Thanks

I shoulda/couida filleted it like I do Stripers but it seemed that I was leavin along of meat on the fish. So I decided to just cut down the side through the rib bones and then pull them out with pliers.
BIG mistake. Very hard to get the bones out and a lot of them just broke off down in the meat.
I will never try that again. 😥👎☹

Gotcha. Tried something new, didn’t like how it turned out! It goes both ways though. Try something and wonder why you wasted your time. Or try something and it works so slick you wish you had heard about it years ago. And you passed that hard learned lesson on to us. I could feel your frustration with yourself in your post. Thanks for responding.
