Guidofisherman Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Up north, we finally got some nice weather and the big lake cooperated by lending us this 25" male beauty just starting his fall spawning colours.
anders Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Now THAT is a coaster!!!! Gorgeous Fish!
Roy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 WOW! Al, you outdid yourself in the photography department again! That is an absolute beauty of a fish. Thanks for showing.
Musky or Specks Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 I just made a mess on my keyboard. Amazing fish. How about some details? Casting, trolling, shoreline, rivermouth, shoal, hair jig, spoon, body bait???????????????????????
Dara Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Those things are just so pretty...thanks
Kenny G Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Extraordinary fish! The colors are just unbelievable. Thank you for sharing. Kenny G.
Guidofisherman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 Details??? If I tell you, I would have to kill you! Actually, it reminds me of a saying from an unknown source that said, " All fishermen are liars except you and me and to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure about you!" At times these fish will hit anything and then when you just have them figured out...they get lock-jaw for several days. I use a combination of fly fishing with streamers and spinning gear with my homemade jig flies. It generaly represents a sculpin pattern. Everyone of our group caught fish on different coloured heads and bodies, so we still haven't got them figured out. As a general rule, brook trout prefer shallow water, but they have been caught deep and they seem sensitive to pressure changes and the need for cold water. My buddy who caught this fish wanted to keep it as it was legal (over 22"), but I reminded him it was a long swim back to the launch. Here are a few more Photoshop framed shots of the big guy. Note: I tagged this guy behind the dorsal fin. Good luck!
Musky or Specks Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Oh I wasnt lookin for THE spot. Just what techniques were being used. Im plenty familiar with both the River and the Lake. To familiar I often worry if the secrets I know have me on GE's hitlist
Ron Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 I know the spot I know the spot! Can I tell huh huh can I can I???? Nice Brookie Guido. I bet that fish had hook marks in him from when we were up there a while back. I can almost guarantee you on which rock you got him on too! PS: Too bad they did the Fishin Canada Show up there, I think it made it busier than normal. Cheers, Ron...
danc Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Awesome fish Al. Colin will be at the launch with a Bud starting Tuesday. I'll show up Thursday night until Sunday. Hope to see ya there...
scuro2 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Just a great fish to admire. Somethings you just can't kill.
