MickeyFinn I'm sure guys keep it quite look at ice shanty what has  happened to lakes that gets promoted on the internet  how much extra pressure they receive, something's are best kept silent

Fred you've seen my 6#er haven't you.

Yes I have and a real prime example ,

Id go out on a limb and say there are several brookies caught pushing 10lbs each year in NY, they go unreported, most of the die hard brook trout fisherman arent willing to give up the names of the places they catch fish over 20 inches to anyone let alone advertise the location in the record book..

YOU ARE RIGHT ON. MOST donot care about the record books, i know that inc.you and ME.

I agree with you RAT.  We have to put them back,  especially the big ones. The only ones I us usually keep are small or mortally wounded. I wont "waste" one if its not going to survive., but I don't want to eat a big one. I don't think they taste as good. And, they're the ones that will get bigger and hopefully pass on the better genes.  I also seem to notice fewer and fewer fishermen every year. Let's hope.....

I also feel you need to leave them alone in the summer once the water warms up.  Fighting them in warm water and bringing them up from the depths causes a lot of undue stress on them.  I chase my brookies from April thru early June and from mid September through October.  But that's just me.

MARKET],
