Nice catch glad you threw it back little tip if you catch to eat only eat the small or median sized ones as the older they are the higher their mercuary count is
Great catch and video, but your killing me because I am watching a video and not out fishing! Almost as much fun as catching sturgeon on the Sacramento River with trout and walleye gear.
i love how people say they eat lake trout dont they know that the fish this guy caught is prolly 50+ yrs old and has a very high mercurey content?!?!?!?!?!
This video reminds me of the time my great grandpa cut of his own two nipples to use as bait for walleye fishing. That day, he caught a 19 pounder ! i'll always remember his last words before he past.,.. Go get me the morning news paper so you can wipe my ass with it.... Great Grandpa Lulworth spent his last moments with is great grandson wiping his dunghole clean and his only son holding up his nut sack on a teespoon.... R.I.P.
its awfully calm i mean its not choppy at all but i use downriggers and boards and get them that way and i catch some hogs but not really big ones....i dont understand why you flipped out you should of just honestly shut up and catch it but yea you got it eventually good job though mine was 12 pounds cause that thing was fat yours was just long not fat..but my laker is awesome tasting!!!
I love it! That's a great fish, and great color like you said. I jig for lakers through the ice alot. Believe it or not we were catching them on 4 lb test on a scud fly (with a #16 hook) 12" below a castmaster in 70'. this winter we were over 170' with 4lb leaders on tip-ups. No 20 pounders though. We have caught a good number of fish in the 27"-32" range, which is respectable in the finger lakes here in NY. Everything is more fun with light tackle.
thats what I'm talkin about. My longest fight of a fish ever was a big slob laker in similar size to that one give or take. Only mine was on 10 color leadcore which is not as fun but it was like reelin in a garbage can filled with rocks, just didnt wanna come up, awesome vid.
@HeliTroutSlayer are you retarded? Who gives how u handle the fish as long as u keep it

Look into learning how to handle a big fish. You are doing harm by reefing him up by the gills.other than that nice laker dude

Did you really let it go? If you did that is very noble, but did you have to, or did you choose to.
What a beautiful fish.
