yeah good call you saw him thank you Cameron Cameron's like oh he saw it on the fan off look I got him up off the bottom there it is right there this is super light rod and line so I got to play him out if that's not a later it was a Laker this isn't a whitefish I like watch it was fat only it was way fatter than the whitefish we've been watching that's cool I gotta play him out cuz it's like oh look at him on the screen top left and you could you could thumb up and watch him you could watch the fight oh you dog you just did a roll on me I got 20 more feet you do just burp or something yeah we did up the water he burped he's rolling I don't think this is a 20 inch Laker really I don't think so I don't know what they look like on your camera that looks big on the screen looking on the screen I don't I don't think this is a 20 inch Laker I really don't it's hard to tell on this little noodle I'm using I should have these steaks cooked about time you get that fish in he's close now we're to the leader please please stay at least let us see him please stay on please stay on oh it's a Laker maybe it is 20 inch Laker probably 23 24 he's fat look at how fat that guy is he's all yours camera nice yeah all right yeah should be rolling he smoked that smelt in a yeah guys hold one out of a small mouth book on that one got him actually on a drop shot with a smelt on it and he came in nose down just chewed the chop the chop the chewy cop there he goes so wait thank you for thanks for clueing me in that he was there we think Bob I don't know Joe I think it's been a tough fight today this is about a slack as I've ever seen it unbelievable we got what 15 14 traps out the jig rod and you just can't make it happen if I fish today's pretty poor but we've seen 17 barrel on the camera just they will not bite yeah we've had we talked to a bunch of different groups and seen a bunch of groups and nobody's catching them they don't know if it's the same to weather or what they bit yesterday decent with a storm and stuff yeah they definitely did post storms always tough fishing warm tropical out here this is March fishing you don't even late March fishing usually like this yeah it's definitely warming up we're starting to get some slush yeah the lake softened up big time last night changing today it was nice going this morning we get up late and it's definitely head itself absolute awesome trip for just rolling it together yeah I mean met these guys up on the aligash chain and met a month ago and throw a trip together and it happened the rest is history now pretty much accomplished everything we wanted to cause some costs cost some whitefish got a bunch of Lakers caught a bunch of nice salmon one thing I learned for sure is the lake trout are finicky here that they're smart they're wicked smart I don't know if it's the clarity of the water or just the pressure of fishermen or yeah for what it is but even trolling if you don't have I've seen people come up here with you know 15 20 pound test you know they mean the heavy leader and stuff like that you're not gonna do as good as you would if you had like eight pound floor or whatever on you know like the fish do see up here clean water they can see so far I mean most lake 60 feet of water like on that camera you're not gonna see a picture like that you know right definitely some water clarity even with this snow cover on top of the ice it's just about as clear as day on the camera Moose had last week I couldn't see in 30 feet is that right yeah wow terrible but pretty amazing beautiful place big lake gets fish though doesn't it gets fish by people people are spread out yeah a lot of groups a lot of people spread out beautiful beautiful lake it is a beautiful little town what would you guys say most people use for bait on this lake smelt smelt yeah yeah sucker sucker if you're going token yeah a lot of a lot of big donkey bait gets used to you fairly light line maybe as heavy as 10 pound yeah 8 to 10 pound leader you know some people run 12 for big Lakers which ain't a bad thing but I don't generally run over 10 yeah 10 floral and then small hooks and lightweight yeah no matter how deep your fish is weight is possible really yeah whatever you can get the bait to go down with yeah that's what's nice about suckers too they had self so good you know the shot I think the shot is where it just is good on the right day but it's like anything every day has its day yeah today ain't nice yeah and Cameron pulled off to personal best this trip right yep personal best white fish and Laker nice awesome trip for you I caught the most salmon I've ever caught today yeah that's it that was a huge plus for me and I really don't get the target salmon that much I think I'm gonna try to target them a little more they were fun yeah yeah it was it was fun you know that they just you don't see giant ones up here you know but they're beautiful fish 18 to 20 inch cookie kind of fish you know nice nice healthy salmon that are grown right here in the hatchery you know what I mean they put a lot of salmon in here out of the hatchery yeah I don't know how well I get stuck but it's I don't know I don't dare say but I want to say like 7500 twice a year something crazy in this lake yeah nice you look at stalking reports I'm pretty sure they stalk this spring and fall well brings a lot of people to town you know any yeah all in all unbelievable trip I can't thank you guys enough really thank you it was 10 out of 10 from this guy man same here it was amazing absolutely
