There have been a LOT of Atlantics caught in the open water fishery on Lake O the past 3 years, particularly in the spring and early summer. Some in the high teens and pushing 20 lbs

We got our first ever on the boat on July 31 last year 14.3 lbs.

here are some others that guys have posted pictures of over the past couple years on other fishing boards.
