caught this 27.5 INCHES AND 6.5 POUNDS SPECKLE TROUT OR SEA TROUT OR SPECK OR GATOR TROUT in OUT NORTH FROM THE STEINHATCHEE RIVER, STEINHATCHEE FLORIDA.
I WAS FISHING WITH MY BUDDY, MARK GANN, AND WE DRIFTED TOWARD A CREEK JUST NORTH OF THE STEINHATCHEE RIVER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. MARK WAS THROWING HIS CUT BAIT TOWARD THE GRASS AND BANK IN FRONT OF THE DRIFT. WE WERE IN ABOUT 1-1.5 FEET OF WATER WHEN THIS GATOR TROUT TOOK THE BAIT. THE FIGHT WAS ON. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTO, MARK WON AND I NETTED THE FISH. THAT WAS MARKS BIGGEST TROUT SO FAR.
