for those of you who didn't know, the speckle trout is actually one of the members of the drum species. its not an actual "trout" like fresh water fish, they just grew the same adaptations through evolution :)

Turn her loose or invite her for dinner, literally (yum)...!

[Jerkbaitful]

this is not a trout! you see it, because they are not typical for all salmonid fin does fat. sry, for the bad inglish, I'm not german. I speak as one in English "dorsal fin" writes white, but the little fin kurk is before the tail fin.

[Jerkbaitful]

@Jerkbaitful and yes.. the teeth.

@Jerkbaitful

Captain Black is the Best Guide in the business today. I have had several trips with him and am planning another one very soon. Those trout are not freshwater trout like steel heads, browns or brooks they are Spotted Sea trout or speckled trout and they are amazingly beautiful and tasty. I usually only keep 1 or 2 for dinner if any and let the rest go.To see one explode on a Top Water is something truly special to see!

[ducktumbler]

spotted weakfish (Cynoscion nebulosus) commonly known as a spotted sea trout but it is not a member of the salmonoid family and is therefore not a true trout. nevertheless, it is a trout by name, although not by science. it is of no relation to true trout or salmon. twin dorsals will tell you that for a start. good fish, keep it up and keep posting

[CHISSMARTINO]

it is a good fish and good fishing but it isn't a trout

[bitnola]

Nice speck,man.

They're not uncommon that size in the Indian River system in Fla. We call them gators when they get that size, because of the way the head flattens out on the big females. Where were you fishing?

[texastrack410]

south Texas or what part o Texas.

[hellishheavin101]

@CaptBlack15 its a white trout : / dont know why im posting to a two year old comment

[cwjones0322]

It's a spotted seatrout, aka speckled trout, cynoscian nebulosis, common on the gulf of mexico and southern atlantic coasts, they grow to be about 12-15 pounds tops and are very fun to catch and very good to eat. No relation to northern trout like rainbows or lakers, but they're actually related to red and black drum found in the same areas, and also the white sea bass of california. does that help?

[logang15]

@walleyepoesjes

its in the gulf spec trout,

[ktomek06]

Very nice fish! Great video..I love it when they grab a mouthful of water and spray it.
