Seneca lake tournament report

[Mikey topaz]

Fished the Seneca lake tourney this past weekend with my pops and young James Stangle himself! 9 rod spread and we hit it hard. Tons of fish coming to the net with a mix of rainbows/atlantics and lakers. We were leading with a 5 lb salmon for a little while the first day but got knocked out. Sunday tried fishing deeper out over 523 feet water rigger goes off fighting the fish and had it within 15-20 feet off the back of the boat fish was the biggest rainbow of my life had to been 15 lbs. needed two more feet fish saw the net went apeshit and popped off. I’m still getting over this loss…Definitely hurts! Back at it next year for sweet redemption!

Wow ! Seneca Lake sure brings back a lot of memories . Looks like you guys did great ! Back then it was mostly Brown Trout . Are the lampreys still a problem ?

Yes sir definitely still a problem, not too many browns for us and the ones caught are on the smaller size.
