Mctucker catfish tonight. Blue slush bug with sucker meat. Only fish of the night but it’s a good’n
Because of the curved tail, I’m only giving 20 inches on the channel cat. Please try to eliminate that in future photos. It skews the measurement.
Made my first ever trip to bear lake, and caught my first bonneville cutthroat. I fished 2 days sunrise til past dark and today from 5.30 until noon. I caught only two macks, five cutthroat, and three whiteys. Pretty slow. Everybody I ran into kept saying you should have been here last week (figures).the first mack I caught was incredible. I’ve never had a fish be unstoppable through the ice for so long. He made one huge run that took me to within 20 yards of spooling me before I finally turned him. The Mack is the only one that needs scored. The tape is not straight past my board, but it’s not a contender for biggest fish so all I need is 25 from it. I was in a hurry to get it back down the hole. It’s the biggest fish I’ve ever caught and I asked my neighbor on the ice to come take a picture for me. caught him yesterday on a blue northland jigging spoon tipped with crawler. One other thing, that ice is the weirdest I have ever been on. Every morning it will instantly shift 6" one direction with no warning at all followed by a huge bang all the way up the lake. It’s the weirdest feeling I assume similar to what an earth quake feels like.
It’s clearly 25 inches. That’s what I put you down for.
