Team Saltwater Assault wins the Galveston Trophy Trout Series opener
Danny Popovich and myself take 1 st place in the GTTS opener October 22 nd.
It was a tough bite and grind out there today. A lot of cussing and head scratching from both of us today. But we stayed with the game plan and kept plugging away at them. We pretty much stayed in one area picking up one here and one there. Luckily the ones we did catch were the ones we needed. Dpop got things started with a nice Trout that was a little over 6lbs and almost took big Trout honors with it but fell a bit short. Dpop’s went 6.09 and Eric’s big Trout of the tourney went 6.33 I think. Congrats to Eric on a hell of a Trout. About an hour later I stuck a 3 lb fish but was released an hour later when I stuck a Trout that was in the 24″ range. Danny had a 4lber pull off a right after this one that he was not to happy about LOL. But he made up for it a few cast later when he popped a perfect tourney Trout that was a hair under 25″. All total I think we may have caught 13 to 14 fish. 10 of these fish were just inside the 16 to 17″ range. My two highlights of he day was watching Dpop catch the 1st big Trout of the day. This Trout was seriously pissed off and thrashed around the water like crazy. It was a cool site to see. The 2nd was watching Steve Anderson and Aaron Stillwagon right down the shoreline from us. They were about a 100 yards away when Aaron stuck a 5 1/2lb Trout. We could here her thrashing the water from where me and Danny where. It was an awesome site but we both knew he had a good one and put the pressure on us a little more LOL.
Had a great time out there today and had a great time at the weigh in talking to all the tourney guys.
