Jersey Laker

Spent the afternoon fishing my favorite reservoir trying to entice a big trout and caught this big cow of a Lake Trout. It was 25" and by my guess weighed 9 lbs plus. Caught it on the same spoon I used to catch my biggest rainbow almost twenty years ago.:D

Never a camera man around when you need one. These are the bast I could do. I released the fish to swim another day.;)

That is one FAT laker. They must be getting plenty to eat there!

Sure is a fat one, LEO....This reservoir and its Lake Trout population were in trouble a few short years ago as there was a shortage of baitfish. They reduced the size limit from 24" to 15" and started a program to maintain the alewife population. All of the fish have benefited from it.
