I hear that. I have been thinking the same. I grew up on lake Champlain fishing for smelt, lake trout, walleye, and salmon to name a few. But I really enjoy a good trout stream or brook. I am going to get back into making spinners again and definitely won’t be testing them in my pool.

I was talking to the wife and showing her a bullfrog who was quite aggressive with my black n blue craw. 
Hard to make out but he has the craw completely engulfed. He didn't get hooked. Really a pain in the butt to unhook a frog or a turtle.
Then we heard a bass hit something top water so I flipped my craw where the disturbance was and he took it straight away. Not big. But definitely fun.

I love buzzbaits right after they do the nasty and the fry guarders are on duty.

I lived in Connecticut for awhile and have a lot of great memories of fishing back then. I didn’t take photos of trout because I always caught my limit so no big thing. As the brooks and stream got low, I would move on to bass. Fall would be saltwater for bluefish and striped bass from shore. I’m an old man with memories but not to old to make more. Here is one and I blocked my face for obvious reasons, the fish is way better looking.

"Colorado outdoorsman Scott Enloe caught and released what is likely a new world-record lake trout while fishing with his son, Hunter, on May 5. The fish weighed 73.29 pounds, according to the handheld scale they had in their boat. That’s at least 20 pounds heavier than the current state-record laker, and more than a pound heavier than the IGFA all-tackle world record for the species"

Lol ya. Pretty huge. Bet it shit all over him. Damn those things are nasty! So boring...like dragging a wet towel in current.
Lakers on the ice can be fun but generally in the great lakes the guys who can't catch fish, fish for Lakers. They'll bite a fiddle doodle (made up) on 100# line they don't give a shit. Lol
If you get a charter they 'guarantee' fish because if the conditions are shit or the salmon aren't biting they'll drop down for lakers and pretty much guaranteed fish. (They didn't say WHAT salmon or trout. Lol)
But, up north on the ice they can be fun, because really we're trying to catch whities (whitefish) but there's greasers in the mix.
I just have a locational bias towards them. Lol.

I feel the same way about mud fish. But there are plenty of folks who look to catch them. Slimy fuckers getting the boat and everything they touch covered in nasty.
I get it
