A-Fishy-Anado Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Very impressive trout for Lake Michigan....matter of fact that would still be a monster by superior standards!!
Line Dancin Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Very Impressive. NICE JOB Gald it is being mounted it ia a once in a lifetime fish. Wish i would have had a couple i caught back in the early 80s mounted.
Nailer Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 I believe they got the fish in 170 fow, on a White Paddle and Mirage type fly at 140' down. The weight on 3 different scales was 31+ pounds.
Chummer Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 True trophy. Congratulations to the young angler and crew! Even with all the years he has to fish, I highly doubt this young man will ever catch a bigger LT. It's like shooting a 180" + buck your first season.
Far Beyond Driven Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 So many ugly scarred up clipped up lakers around - that one's pretty much perfect. Sweet.I just raised my boat record from 14# to 16.2# on lakers; this one totally emasculates that.
Playin Hooky Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Talked to the angler's uncle yesterday (I work with his wife). He said he had to help the youngster hold onto the pole as it was a long drag/fight to crank the beast to the boat--and they were BOTH tired by the end! He wasn't sure of the weight and it may not have gotten to a certified scale, but did end up with the taxidermist. Its tail went well up the side of the cooler and the cap'n was totally amazed by its size. Made the mid-teen kings they got look small!
Nailer Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Jake said the certified weight came in at just over 33#.
Reel Screwd Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Jake said the certified weight came in at just over 33#.Thats a Monster, Jimmy (It-Il-Do) also got a Huge King last year around 29lbs i believe
