Had one take me all the way to the bottom 😎

Imagine my surprise when a 23 incher popped out. Seems like the 23-24 inch class was really strong this year

Looks like you guys did pretty well. It was a great season to say the least.

That would be great! We will see what this week's high temps and rain do to things.

Ty Jeff. Your trip was surprisingly productive. I thought those pike would be busy doing it...apparently not!

Nice lakers, I have smoked white fish, bows, and northerns, but I would love to smoke a laker. Bet they would smoke great.

Lakers are great smoked.

Pretty much the only way to make them palatable if you ask me.

Baked smothered with mayo, onions, spices, and butter. Comes out real well if not over cooked.

Put an 15- 20 incher on the BBQ (that's assuming they're legal where you fish) Smother him in red wine & vinegar dressing before and during cooking. Keep the fire down so you don't burn the skin off and turn often. When the skin falls off he is done and ready for the table. Anything bigger than 20" inches is a little strong for my taste but that's just a personal opinion and a lot of other folks would not mind I'm sure. They do take longer to cook when heavier and you may end up with one under cooked when it appears done. Good luck and they are best when cooked fresh.

Don't mean to start a war or any thing, but in my humble opinion the best Laker will never compare to a fried Blue Gill or Bullhead. Sorry... that's just the way I taste it

Garufi518 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 29, 2018, 07:21 PM »

For lakers I usually sauté them in open oxygen for about 15-20seconds , season with shards of ice from around my hole , take it by the tail either side is fine and I’ll dip the head gently into the freezing water aNd wait for it to kick...90% of the time works every time 😃

62&done · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 29, 2018, 07:41 PM »

I hear that . If your not really into them let them go for the guy who is. Putting them into a freezer until your wife gets tired of moving them around does no justice to a beautiful fish. let them swim

Same recipe I use. It is amazing how they plump using this method.
