I mean, one thing I can’t stand is click bait. But I think I’m accurate in this statement. I caught this fish in early March I’d last year. I worked in the video through the spring and just finally made it public over on my YouTube channel. I’ve been fishing for lake trout very consistently over the past 15 years or so, and this was definitely the most exciting and fulfilling thing I’ve had happen to me on the ice.

Enjoy!

The worst part is, like with most things, I have the hand warmers. I’m just too dumb to pack them most times

Thanks for posting the video! Been chasing one of those big 'ns at the Gorge the past 4 years and the biggest so far was the 10 lb this past season. Definitely going to spend a few weekends again this season chasing one down.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy fishing gear....and that's kind of the same thing.

I think it took me 7 years to catch one over the 10 lb mark, so you’re well ahead of my pace ;)
