Hey Chris, are you using a Hummingbird fish finder?? Model? Looked like a cool set up that you have going to really see the fish on the screen. My son just bought a 12 ft boat that he hopes to have the same success on. Thanks for any help.

it's a humminbird helix 7...got it on sale a few years ago. it does everything i need for about half the price of the really expensive ones.

Thanks for the net job the other day. Probably a little premature on judgment of size by myself. I'm not overly experienced with these big lakers. However I'm still overwhelmed by that fish and the epic battle that occurred. The pic came out great!
I hope you and your buddy had a great afternoon. Best of luck to you both on your quest. 👍

That's an amazing video to watch. I've wanted to fish the lakers for more than a decade. Tried for them from a canoe in Maine 2008, jigging spoons, and we were marking fish but got no hits.

Caught one from shore four years ago. Have had the squareback two years now, but no time with other priorities to try for them...maybe I'll land a job with normal hours.

thanks bud, anytime, see you out there! I've bumped my gear up a bit because when we do hook an even bigger one it'll be too long a fight and in this water temp, not going to be good for the fish i guess.

well in case it isn't obvious, my number one rule in life is 'make time to fish'! gotta do what you gotta do, but if fishing is what you love to do, gotta make time for that too! Glad you enjoyed the video Bruce, my co-workers son, Skye, edited it up.
