Last year I rented up a cabin with friends at a place in upstate NY called, Trout Lake.
Now, this place has been in conversation for many years with my friend about how magical it was in his youth. So much so that fish would be jumping into the boat. I never believed him. Typically I'm fishing for bass because it's more accessible, I don't drive and it's hard to get out of NYC.
At this magical lake, i spent many hours bass fishing, even trout fishing with the on premise row boats and kayaks. But as I stated, it is magical. I had this behemoth of a trout destroy on of my jerkbaits, a megabass vision 110. Never expected this to be my catch.
Also, never meant to keep the trout because it was an amazing beast, but it was a lengthy fight, and it bled a lot. So, to not be disrespectful, I kept him and feed my friends and I. The smaller trout was my friends catch.
