    1. This reminds me of the day I forgot my net at home. I trolled up 9 Lakers one of which was about the same size as that one. The other was even bigger I lost both ...more at the boat. The biggest one I fought for 38 minutes. My buddy Ted passed me 3 times and asked if I hooked another one. I said nope same one. I could not get it off the bottom. Finally had it to the boat and no net. The fishes mouth where it was hooked was tore, he or she made a final head shake and bye bye the fly popped out. Both would have been my PB, I slammed my pole down and screamed bloody murder. So congrats on that monster. A lot of people say Lake trout don't fight. They have never hooked a real monster.

      Thanks Brian. Hard to net a fish like that. His mouth wide open like a sail at 2 mph. Trying to steer the boat, real in the line, and net him at the same time.

      Thank guys. Know you guys would like that one. So much fun. I fish solo. Navigate, drive the boat, and run the lines. All with the wind blowing at 20 mph.
