Great Bear Lake NWT - Monster Lake Trout

[Zip-in-Z]

My Buddy in Wpg sent me a pic today of his friend Robyn, who's a guide with Plummers.

I made two trips to this Lodge, what an experience, I understand the current estimated cost for a 1 week adventure to Trophy Lodge is approx. $5000 US, FOB Yellowknife, plus plus plus, est. $8000. plus exchange .... but if you caught one this size or bigger .... priceless!

Is it just me or does that big Lake Trout have bite marks on the top of it behind its head?

There must be absolute Monsters in some of those lakes way up North. There is obvious proof with caught fish in the 70 pound range so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if a 100+ pound fish exists.

[Sooner]

How old would a 60lb laker/fish be? Just curious. Awesome pics.

[wags]

*drool*

Thanks for sharing. Incredible photos!

Cheers

[edmhunter]

WOW, how old are those fish? I'll bet that they are over 70 years old! Great pictures, congrats!

[greylynx]

Those scratch marks on the back look like Mr. Eagle or Ms. Osprey were trying to pick up that fellow.

Thank you very much for these pictures.

[canadiantdi]

Wow, amazing fish.. Sweet pics!

$8000?? oh boy!

[albertadeer]

Might not be quite Bear lake material. But there's some whales in AB to be caught.

[Speckle55]

Wow ..that trip was Priceless for that guy:47b20s0:

and those pictures of the Grayling attack are too:shark:

every Lake Trout Anglers dream:sHa_shakeshout:

Thanks for sharing

[LCCFisherman]

Those pictures look 30 years old!

[Zip-in-Z]

Those pictures look 30 years old!


Nope, not at all ... however, from what our guide told us that 60 lb Laker is over a 100 years old & that's not a fish story!

Excellent pictures.

Back in the day a 102 lb. lake trout was taken in a net in Great Bear. It was neither male nor female, people figured that is why it got so big.

It amazes me that no one fishes for innconnu up there. They go to 60-70 lbs. too.

[Tomcatchesallthefish]

Never heard about inconnu. Those lake trouts are amazing.

[LCCFisherman]

RED BEAR that fish came from lake athabasca.

[binnzer32]

Came from lake athabasca. Way more bang for your buck on that lake then great bear or slave. .. Lac La Marte is better too.

Inconno are on the DL, please troll quietly and we will keep them that way. Freshwater tarpon, largest species of whitefish. Barely known. Shhhhh ;)

Spectacular lakers!!, i thought the 102lb laker netted was in lake athabasca as well

[Red Bullets]

Regarding the 102 lb. laker I stand corrected. It was from Lake AthaB. There is a replica in the Ft. Macmurray museum.
