Basskicker Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd throw together a short report. Fished a lake near Manitouwadge last week and caught a few nice big fish. There was so much wildlife in and around the lake. So just how big is this laker? Never had a chance to weigh or measure, it was quite the ordeal getting him to the boat!!! Jason Edited June 15, 2012 by Basskicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Great picture loaded post Jay! You're certainly enjoying the outdoors out your way. Gonna guess on the laker (and it's a fatty) somewhere high teens, maybe 20??? You didn't measure it all? It's a heckuva fish man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Worthy of its PB status! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hard to get a really good judge by those photos but I would say 16#-18#s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Some gorgeous shots there!! I'm not a laker guy, so I'm not gonna guess, but its a beauty fish none-the-less! What lens did you use for those shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow, all very healthy specimens and some great release shots. Those bears don't look too scrawny either. As for the laker, that would have been my PB as well but I couldn't hazard a guess. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Beautiful pics....looks like paradise! Fantastic laker as well.....my jealousy says 15lbs, but I'm sure it's more like 18 Congrats....that thing's a monster! I've found the length/girth formulas to be pretty accurate over the years, especially for lakers...I don't even know where my scale is anymore...just get the measurements. But kudos for not worrying about that stuff and getting it back in. Heck, just tell everyone it was a 20 pounder, you earned it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basskicker Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 A white tube jig in 52ft of water. I actually watched the fish hammer the jig on my lowrance, it made 4 runs back down to the bottom before we cradled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
