| Nathan Greak Winner 2021 Photo Contest This photo was taken during extremely calm morning out on Baffin Bay, which is a rare sight to see as many will tell you. Me and three other buddies took advantage of this calm morning and loaded our gear in the boat and headed towards the ramp. As we pulled to our first wade we all jumped out of the boat with excitement and eagerness to take advantage of such a calm day. One of my buddies was first to cast a line out, and BOOM, almost as soon as his lure hit the water, he stuck into a solid 25 inch trout. Now an old wise fishermen will always tell you it’s bad luck to catch a fish on the first cast, but that was far from true on this day. In a matter of 30 minutes we had caught another 5 trout reaching the measurements between 24-25. And that was just the beginning of the day, we went on throughout the whole day, and all BS aside, caught another 30+ plus keeper trout, all of which were released to help the species after such a harsh winter.
