Daybreak Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Caught on a Jig in 110' of water. He was released after the pictures in great shape.
Daybreak Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 We didn't hang him from the scale because we were releasing him, but 22-25lbs is my estimate.

KJ pluggin Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Great fish John, those big lakers sure look awesome!
Priority1 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Nice LT. Don't they get super stressed being brought up from those depths?
Daybreak Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 No spud needed! Thankfully!!110' is "shallow" around here. We were within 1 mile of 650' of water. This fish was suspended about 40' off the bottom, as are most of the bigger fish. Catching them on 15lb test spinning gear insures you can't "horse" em up, and allows for plenty of time for them to "burp" themselves before coming up, and with the 36-38 degree water, they release very well. It's tougher in August with warmer water. This fish took 25 minutes to get to the boat, and after a few quick pics, he was gone in a flash as soon as he hit the water.
