Epic!Ken, I've been fishing Gleneida since the early 70's and never came close to a brown like this one. Certainly my Lifetime acheivement for me (so far)! And the crazy thing is there are much bigger in there. That's what keeps me coming back!Good luck!Mike
Mike, you've got me dated...it's been about twenty years, and not even close to the time logged on Gleneida like yourself. I have fished the shore quite a few times. More so in the 'twenty year ago' period. What remains the same is the commitment needed to fish Gleneida. Ice fished it once with blowin' winds and no flags. I heard of a lucky high schooler fishing the shore after school and catching a 19# brown back in the day...early '90s. Remember Red across the street...he knew that lake was special and he told everyone too. However,you know better than I just how special that fish is.
Sorry about that Trout! I assumed that was you when you posted the pic a while ago. I remember that if was toward late afternoon on a Sunday and I was jigging down at the south end when the gentleman pulled up that laker. I took the pic of him as he did not have a camera. He gave me his email and sent it to him later in the evening. Never heard from him again! Haha! After seeing that laker it motivated me to come back as much as I could before the ice went out. Got a total of 17 lakers and 4 browns, two which were 8.5 pounders. None of the lakers were anything big however. Biggest was about 25". Our family is acquainted with an elderly gentleman who is in his 80's now at a local nursing home. In 1985 he pulled a 23 lb. Laker out of Gleneida! I have pics of the mount that I will scan and try to post. Truly impressive!Mike

I'll let him know about I.L. on Saturday. thanks.Bill
NICE FISH.I had been fishing there 5 of the last 6 days and finially gave up said ill do some reading/learning and found this thread. It motivated me to get out of bed and try again. As luck would have it i ran into The guy who help you land that beautiful specimen. he offered to give me some pointers when we coincidentally met in the parking lot. I was soooooo thankful i went out a drilled 3 holes and then Kevin disapperaed, he blended inwith all the rest. i dont know how and cant figure out how to search for a person or how to pm. PLEASE if anyone knows him or can explain how to contact him let me know. I felt like i wasfinally going to have a chance to learn then it slipped through my fingers.Hey buddy Kevin goes by the name BCShanty on the IS. Really super nice guy and doesn't surprise me he was so helpful. I owe him big time for landing that Brown for me! He also took those great pics of the fish. He and I are heading to Otsego tomorrow and hope to tangle with some jumbo lakers!Good luck- Mike
