Also caught this goofball! When it buzzed the hole the first time I thought for a second it was a nice Brown! LOL! Learned later it was an Otsego Bass, aka Lake Whitefish and is apparently pretty rare these days!
That thing is a pig! Glad you released! That is one rare catch, especially one that big. Here is the link to the local paper article I told you about: http://thedailystar.com/localsports/x32752766/Otsego-bass-are-a-thing-of-the-past Was not the best of weekends, but you guys had the stamina to stay out there in those winds on Friday and it wasn't the best of days Saturday. Hope You and Butch enjoyed your trip.BIGJim223
hey mike the next time you and anthony head out to otsego let me know its Nick.
Some friends and I are headin' to Otsego for Presidents Day weekend ( we rented a house on Hyde Bay) and none of us has really ever fished for Lakers. I have spent some time on this forum tryin' to get some ideas about preferred jigs,water depth and anything else that might help us have a good trip. Actually, were gonna have a good trip regardless because fishin' and friends works for me!! We are all husbands and wives( great women) and I was hopin' to get some help and guidance from some of you guys who are more familiar with the lake. Not lookin' for your honey hole, just some info. Thanks
lake trout are pretty simple to catch on this lake run tip ups with suckers or hunts get in water over 20 foot and catter them from just off bottom to just below the ice jigging you are going to want a flasher and get out into the deep water 100+ ill leave the jig up to you all i will say is white
