Wow another stud Speck. She didn't even fight because it's been cold in NC lately. I knew it was good trout because of the weight. Remember when it's cold out and when the water temps are cold slow your retrieve down at least 50%. When it's cold fish barely want to move so you need to get your lure right in front of their faces. 🚨Cya Dude🚨

🐊I'm so stoked today was Citation Gator🐊 Monday. I figured today was going to be good or terrible with this bitter cold weather. Today high was 32 and last night the low was 17. I caught the big old girl and another spike trout on a snag. Have a great night everyone. 🎣Tight Lines🎣
