discophish Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Congrats! Really nice laker, impressive colour. Looks like a really good time out there with the boys. Great job handling the technical difficulties. I can't wait until next weekend to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yep, that's a perfect BBQing sized laker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bassin Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 All i'm saying guys is that in "my" opinion that fish would be better off in the lake then on the table. I'm all for keeping some for the bbq but not this size (smaller ones taste better) Anyways I guess i'm the minority on this one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess that the statement "I know where this is going" has now been changed to "I know where I am going to try to put it." How about this? He kept a legal fish. Your not a minority on this one. I would rather keep a smaller fish as well. BUT. It is not like it is an enormous laker. What is it? maybe 7 pounds, maybe 9. A beauty, but not one of a kind. Cut the dude some slack, I beg you. Especially after that fight with all the lines. Prolly a good idea to keep it. Nice fish dude. Edited January 22, 2011 by Grimace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's not a monster, no reason not to BBQ that one. Now if it was like 30lbs, then I'd have a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to give the guy flak over a fish of that size. I love it when people post pics and videos. Giving them a hard time gives them a reason not to post.

solopaddler Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Nice laker, thanks for posting the vid. As far as eating it goes, why not if you want to. I lived in the area for a few years and would never eat lakers caught from lake Muskoka. They're loaded with mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's only in the 6-8 pound range. Far from big. I wouldn't keep any fish over 28" and this fish looks to be in that size range.

You're not in the minority necessarily because many of us would put it back for various reasons (like eating smaller fish, maintaining brood) inc The difference is that "many" of us also know when something isn't really our business.

FishAbout Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I was the one that caught that laker. I have caught many bigger then that one. I do not usually keep them that big but the wife's parents wanted fish and fishing was tough that day so i decided to keep it. Sorry if some feel that it should be released. I like to eat the small ones also. There are lots of big lake trout in Lake Rosseau. Posts like this is why I do not post here. That lake trout hit when I went into the hut, I left the drag really lose so if one hit it would not pull the rod down the hole. It has happened to me before. After being in the hut for 10 mins, Rob(iceguy) hooked into a fish so he thought. I thought I better check my line outside to make sure it was ok. The fish had taken all of the line out right to the knot on the reel. While taking all my line out it circled and caught 5 of the other lines. It was a disaster. I wish I could of set the hooks on it and fought it on the rod the hole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
