JIm,
Please don't take offense ( because I don't know) , but do you discourage your customers from harvesting their big lakers ? As you know, there is no value in the eating, so I really hope they are putting the old boys back? I have yet to harvest anything over 10 lbs ( big ones don't taste good - too much fat).
I actively jig the gorge an landed a few 40+ and many 30 to 20 lbers and they all live to see another day. With the big ones getting harder and harder to find, it only makes sense to take pictures and properly handle and release the big ones.
Thanks for all you do to give people the chance to experience the thrill of catching the big ones.
