Go to moosehead. Fish right against kineo mountain with a 2 foot sucker with his tail cut off and a 3/0 hook. And then wait him out

Not joking

Not Moosehead and doubt it was a 2 foot sucker but I know someone that did that this year.  Got a 40 incher out of a lake renowned for dink togue.  Great fish.

State bios have netted new state records in Green, Beach Hill and Branch. Beach Hill is the current record holder. Sebec has some and Swan has some and Tunk does too but will those old mud hens bite that is the question.

The biggest lake trout always cough up one of these when they are caught. When you figure out what that is use a slider rig and bait up and leave it on bottom. Big togue only
