A man from Duluth, Minnesota, caught his first ever laker this week while jigging on Lake Superior. ⁠ ⁠ Later that afternoon, he caught a giant laker that stands to replace the Minnesota catch-and-release length record. Isaiah Bartlett was fishing Lake Superior with a guide who exclusively jigs for lakers, and whose client also caught the current catch-and-release length record last spring. It took Bartlett about 10 minutes to fight the laker, using an 8-foot-long rod with 20-pound test braided line and a 15-pound test fluorocarbon leader. Bartlett maneuvered the trout close to their boat so Waytashek could net the fish and haul it aboard. After measuring Bartlett’s trout and taking a few photographs, Waytashek released the trout alive back into Lake Superior. He estimates it weighed between 25 and 30 pounds.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #laker #laketrout #lakesuperior #conservation #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: lake_sup...
