Six years ago a good friend of mine sent me on a client trip to Lake Ontario to fish on the "Big Water." That is a term affectionately used by Bill Saiff Sr. of Rod and Reel fame. Below is a picture of the Laker I caught on this trip. It is the biggest fish I have ever caught. It weighed in at 9 pounds and was 29 inches long.
Notice all the blood coming out of the right hand corner of this fish's mouth. This fish was so deep that it ruptured its air bladder when I reeled it in. Because it was a slot fish we had no choice but to return this dying fish to the water. Lake Ontario's Lake Trout population is in serious trouble because of the slot policy and I have heard rumors that it has been changed.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a picture of the largest fish I ever caught on the biggest water I have ever fished on.
Tight Lines!
