He pulled it out and got a quick pic on the board and then back into the water while Kate left the tent and I got the camera ready. 6 or so quick pics and back into the water she went. One soft kick and back to the depths she went.
Was awesome to be a part of for sure.
Congrats again Kate
ya I got the text big big....then all went silent...we were in French bay reeling in our 3rd fish and Mat stopped all comms….hmmm...I am currently tracking that fish for the tournament.

OP that's a beauty! Great colours!! Love those orange fins!!
My pb was a 35"x20" c&r I caught in 2004. Using the lake trout weight calculator it comes out to 17.5lbs. If the OP didn't weigh the fish but at least took a girth measurement you could punch the numbers into the calculator and at least get a fairly close weight.
The calculator also has a pike calculator and it's darned close. Last year I caught a pb pike that measured 39.5"x22" and it pulled my lip grip scale to 21lbs-7oz. On the calculator it came out to 21.24lbs so it's fairly accurate. I have had replicas made of both fish.
I have not fished for lakers for a lot of years but 17.5 lbs seems low for a 35inch laker. My best was around 40" and weighed at 32 lbs. Either way, beauty of a fish

You won’t find it. I know where we were fishing and it’s too secret. Lol

Would you mind posting a pic of your replicas? I didn't measure a girth on my PB before it went back in the lake and I wish I would have. This girl was 36.5 inch in length.
