I went trout fishing this morning or last night. It was dark. I have no idea how many trout I caught. I caught 5 speckled trout between 20 and 24 inches long. I can count to 5. I also caught a half-dozen or so puppy drum. The largest trout was caught in the dark. Also, in the dark, I lost a larger class of fish after a long fight. I almost got to see it when the hook pulled.
For my peace of mind, I assume that it was a larger drum and not that trout I keep trying to catch. It is like the Moby Dick of trout. It seems to be waiting for me in every body of water that I fish. The big one that always gets away. It has escaped so many times that it weighs well into double-digits by now.
Who am I kidding? It was that damn trout.
