Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

Ahhhhhhhhh Thanks for the Great Memories of my childhood fishing live bait off of the bottom of the 1st Conn. with my dear old grandpa, That fish pic brought back a lot of old and great memories, biggest I ever caught with him up there was a little over 12 pounds (he caught it not me LOL, but I did net it) That is a monster and one of the biggest I've seen pulled out of there in a while. Thanks for sharing we love Fish Porn LMAO Take Care God Bless LOL Dave

Congratulations Nice Fish!

I didn't think they grew that big up there. Nice to see a monster come out of there.

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

Yeah, it is a lunker.

Kind of a funny story. My daughter, as you can see, is 5 months old. I bought her a pink tip-up for Valentines Day and this was our first trip north after I bought it.

I unwrapped it that morning and set it with a tiny smelt, probably 1 1/2" to 2" long and walked away. By the time I got to the bob house the flag was up. When I got back to the trap the reel was singing as you can imagine and the fight was on. It was about a 20-25 minute fight and I had to be real careful. I bought the pink trap at Wildlife Taxidermy here in Manchester and it was already set up with line, leader, sinker and hook and I never touched it. I had no idea what test line I had or anything else. Each time I got to the leader the fish took off like a shot but finally after about 10 tries I got the head in the hole and slowly lifted while reaching down and grabbing the gil plate and throwing it away from the hole.

The fish is at the Taxidermist now to be mounted and it will hang at the camp in Pittsburg. It was a good start to a great vacation week.

And thanks Misty Morning for posting the pic. I tried for quite a while last night.

Way to go Ryan, I'd retire that tip up, put it on the wall next to the fish.

Not me. I'd use it again to catch another lunker. It's your lucky trap! Congrats.

Ok, I've been negligent in checking the board since the Derby last year and I come back jealous! Nice Fish! I just picked up a pink trap a couple months ago for my 4 month old daughter but I was told I couldn't use it now until she's old enough to go fishing with me! Glad to see I won't be the only one corrupting my daughter with fishing!

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

I need a pink trap. Awesome fish.

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

I saw those pink traps at wildlife taxidermy. Obviously I should have bought one.

We bought 4 Pink rods and reels at AJ's for my grandaughters, would I be an Idian giver if I took em back. But maybe I better let them keep em and take them fishing so I can run 4 lines this year ???????

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

Awesome fish and even better story!
Love it!

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

Re: 36" Laker 15 lbs

that fish is awesome. It's probably the one that got off my line in winnipesaukee last weeekend. And swam all the way to pittsburg.
