Yep, I am feeling it too, thats why I went out yesterday and bought a new Cuddeback Capture Trail Cam, to add to my collection. I am going out today after I watch the Vikings stomp the Giants, to put it out over some corn.

That one doesn't look released, LOL! Why do you release them? Don't they make for good eating??

To each his/her own on the passion aspect. I love being where people aren't. That's why I fish ONLY for wild trout in wild places (no people). And that brownie was out of the water all of 20 seconds for a real quick pic and released.

Wow! He was really posing for that one!!

Curious as to why you don't eat them. Regulation?

After deer season is over though, my undivided attention goes to native/wild trout fishing. Researching/map reading new wilderness trout streams and mentally scheduling fishing trips. This is my second passion! Catch and release only.

The largemouth spawn is only a few months away!!!!!
