Anything under 30lbs is not considered a trophy here in UT. He was Grilled, Baked, Broiled, and Casseroled! That was a lot of meat. I'll never eat another Lake Trout that size again. The meat was worse than handling regular ground beef as far as the fat content. Secondly, I found out that an 18lb. Mackinaw from Fish Lake is probably 25 years old or more. And third, If he was still there, he'd weigh 20.
Where Flaming Gorge still has an O.K. population of bigger fish, if I tag one over 30lbs. I might have it mounted. There's a place in St. George, UT that does really nice custom plastic mounts from pictures though. Something to think about. Those pics from quetepuni in the Utah board releasing a 31lb. fish look mighty fun. In case you missed it...
