I kept grinding and finally found an area with big trout. The first one I landed measured out at 24.5". A few casts later a monster trout hit my topwater as I was pulling it out of the water. It made three big jumps, hit the kayak, took about 15 yards of line and made one more jump, but this time she broke me off. I'm guessing that it was in the 27"-28" range. I had a few more nice fish that came off and then the smaller trout moved in. It was frustrating, but I guess I can't really complain.
I finished up with 5 keeper trout, and 4 slot reds. My buddy was wanting fish for the family so I kept my limit of reds and all the trout except the 24"er. The tide was slowly incoming again and the only lure I threw was my pink skitterwalk.
Good job staying on the fish and sticking with the top all day.
