Red ate trout

Reeling in a trout caught on plastic this morning when a 35”+ red inhaled it. The red eventually gave it back minus some scales. Same happened this summer with a Croaker.
Anyone else had this happen?

Not in the way you described, but I have caught relatively small reds on relatively large baits.

Years ago we were fishing the Cameron jetties and ran into a school of small trout. Some were really small barely big enough to take the hook. One of the guys in our party was reeling in one of these really small ones. It was feet from the boat when a monster trout inhales it and takes the hook. My friend landed an 8lb 2oz trout.

Yes. Several times. Big reds like to eat Specks and White trout.

I caught a small trout in the winter off LA1 in my bateau, it was dangling on side of the boat barely in the water and I was taking a fish off for my grandpa and a bull red ate my small trout. It was so epic. And my grandfather about had a heart attack.

One time back of buras we were on some school trout and I was reeling in a 13-14in and as it was fighting I started swimming towards me and then was engulfed by a porpoise. He made a run as we all stood there in awe and almost dumped the spool and then let go of the fish.
When I got the fish he looked like someone hit him with a wire wheel grinder.

I’m sure it’s not uncommon, but catching trout standing in the surf and having porpoises splashing all around you trying to eat them before you get them off the hook can be pretty scary.

yes, best thing to do is give nothing but slack on the line to let him inhale it. so give it a 5 count before setting the hook hard
just dont go jerking on it too fast or he will just let it go and not get hooked. they hit it first, then they wait for it to stop moving, and then they swallow it

Caught 2 giant bull reds last month in GI in 20' of water while jigging white trout. They were down there feeding on the whites.

That would scare the hell out of me. I grew up watching flipper but that's a nope.

Yep. Me, the wife and kids were busting some trout in Delacroix a few years back, last one she was hauling in a red ate his arse at the boat. Didn’t catch a trout after we got that red in the boat. Wasn’t 35” though. IIRC it was maybe 25-28”.

Wouldn't recommend fishing Chandy and the nearby islands in the summer then. We're routinely covered up in sharks snagging trout.

Dolphins
They are dolphins not porpoises

In hackberry a couple weeks ago, o had one hit my trout, take off, let it go, then hit it again. Trout didn’t look too good when I got it back in.

Was fishing in Leeville one time catching little white trout and specs on ever cast under birds. I threw out a bare jig head with a silver head on it and popped it 1x and a little fish ate it, then on the way to the boat a big bull red inhaled it. One of my coolest catches.

Over lifetime, I have several times been in the boat when someone reeled in just a head after thinking they had lost the fish

Trout are very cannibalistic. We fish with shad rigs that are white with spots to look like baby trout

Yeah I've seen big trout eat small trout, but never a red eat a trout.
