Sloth,
Went fishin' yesterday @ S. Catamount (the one up pikes peak). We went a few days before to the ole honey hole & took 7 home. It was packed yesterday so we decided to fish a different spot. . We hiked in about 20 min or so. Found a spot & I threw 1 pole with a worm on the bottom & 1 pole with a bobber. Anyway while I had a massive hit on the pole on the bottom. Went to set the hook & my line snapped. An hour or two went by & then bang another big hit on the bottom. Busted my f****** line again. 10 min later my cousin says hey T.L. theres your line (last week I had the same thing happen & I retrieved the line a pulled a rainbow in by hand) Ryno had a lure on & he got just the end of my line. I hand reeled in this big a** cutbow by hand, he had a mouth like a walleye & was at least 15 in. & the belly on this fish was just full, so I was anxious to put a blade t him & see what was in his gut. To my surprise he must have had at least 30 little mussels/snails in his gut. Have you ever witnessed this before? And oh yeah the pole that keeps snapping the line is the Cherrywood, & I'm sure that the lack of ceramic guides are the reason for my line being weak, so be careful when fishing with these hunks of junk . I noticed all of the meat were digested on these little bastards. Will the fish's internal digestive acids break htese shells down or is this bad for the fish? Man you should have seen the fillets off of this fish. One last note. If these fish are consuming all of these snails, what would be a good bait of choice for them on the bottom.
