Was talking to my buddy Rick this afternoon and he was telling me about an acquaintance of ours that caught an amazing trout on Palmerston on saturday.

He said it was in the local paper.

Looked it up and there he was with a picture...21.4 lbs laker

Here is the link

Where was this one a couple of weeks ago WIG????

Holy $#@#, I guess that one is goin on the wall!

Wowzers!!!!!

that is awesome!

Ohhh well, kiss goodbye that lakes stocking efforts for the next few winter seasons.

You are right Moosebunk!!! the lake will be swamped with people for quite a while now.

Too bad ..was planning a trip there on friday.

now i'll preface this with i'm kind a new trout fisherman but, is a 21 lbs laker that big of a fish?

i didn't think it was....but i guess it is? i thought lakers weren't considered big until they pass about 35 lbs?

Still bigger than any laker i've caught!

Steve:

For a small inland lake around here that is a huge fish. It may be ho-hum for someone who regularily fishes lake ontario/erie of any other big water for that matter.

For the people that don't know, Palmerston lake is just outside of Ompah. Only about 4 miles long and heavily fished.

About 2 years ago there was a 22lber caught on silver lake and it was like a city of people the rest of the winter. Let's hope that this doesn't happen to Palmerston now.

see, i thought it was the opposite.

i was told the average LT grows about a pound a year.

Therefore, you wont find a laker bigger than 30 lbs in Lake Ontario, as they haven't been around much longer than 30 years.

I was then told it was the smaller, inland lakes, that had the bigger lakers.

I guess i had it mixed up.

The record LT didn't come from a Great Lake, did it?

I'm still learning the ins and outs of trout.

WOW

Thats another lake I've yet to try

That's wild Joe,

A friend at work was just showing me a picture from a local paper which was about 2 weeks old of a 22 pound Laker taken out of Silver Lake

Seems like more people are targeting them or having better luck

Wild

That sure is an incredible laker!!

Bet they werent using a 6inch hole!!!!!

That's an incredible fish. Wolfie here would have liked to see it put back, but either way, it's a trophy for sure.

No kidding eh

Dont Quote me on this, but Im pretty sure I read that the "Record" Laker came from Great Bear Lake in the NWT????

For the size, I think even a 21lber on the GL's is a big fish!!!!

Lakers are ravinous feeders, and I would hate to see the lake pounded like an unwanted.....................I'll stop there

A amazing catch anywhere in my books!!!!

F.F

LT's are the slowest growing of all the salmonoids,1/2 lb a yr would be more accurate.

That 21 lb LT would be in the 40 yr old range.

Imagine how old those Great Slave/Great Bear 60 + lbers are???
