Got my first laker ever on sunday

Went into about 80 fow and we were jigging on bottom im fishing w/o electronics starting at 7:30-8am tried a few different things and wasnt getting bites all day although we got the pleasure of watching everyone else catching them near us and helping and older guy land a couple a bit bigger then mine

I switched to something a lot smaller a small jigging rap and 10-15 mins later at about 2:30 i get a nice bite and its got a bit of weight to it i start bringing it up.....it went for 2 runs before i got it to the hole...saw couple guys loose them so i was super careful to keep my line tight

then i iced my first ever lake trout...



my buddy got skunked but went out today n caught a 12" er haha

Congrats on your first iced Laker. That is one I have to cross off my list yet as well. Nice healthy looking fish.

Nice fish buddy!!

good job, nice laker

Nice laker! When I used to fish for lakers up north, I used to start jigging on the bottom, jig 50 times, move up a few reel cranks, jig 50 times, and so on until I was jigging just under the ice. Surprising how many time you can see the lakers hit 10 feet down in 80 feet.

Keep the reports coming.

Good one SEOO. Thats a nice lookin laker.

Good job Cong on your 1st Laker ! I'm still waiting for the oppertunity to arise for my self I'm a virgin when it comes to lakers still

Nice, need to get me one!

Congrats on your 1rst laker man .

Way to go SEOO!

Congrat's on your 1st iced laker and for braving the cold. Thanks for posting the report and pic. Hope your 2nd (and 3rd...) lakers follow soon!
