I don't usually post much these days, but thought I'd show you guys this nice Laker I pulled out of BL a couple weeks ago.
Got over there early and made the long hike out to the spot. Met my buddies Jeff and Shawn out there and then proceeded to settle in. Lots of lookers on the sonar but no takers, until finally I nailed one and it was game on! Several runs and maybe 15 minutes later I iced the biggest trout of my life. Got the pics and promptly released him. (He was tagged). Guessing around 15 lbs, I don't know for sure.
Few hours later I pulled up a beautiful cutty, and then another big laker wanted to play. But I could tell the hookset wasn't a good one. Several runs and got him to the hole where the jig fell off when it bumped the bottom of the ice! Jeff was there and saw it too. I was bummed about that one because he looked and felt just as big.
Either way it was a great day! Love BL ice!
Happy fishing, everyone!
