Default Huge laker hardwater

Hey there, I would like to share this big ol fish with you. For some who may have seen the fish on other areas of social media I posted it last night in excitement without blurring the background. Well it turned into a firestorm of arguing. No arguing please I just want to share the photo. One of the biggest fish I have pulled through the ice. I'm stoked, if it pushes you off the couch and out enjoying what we love by sharing this then so be it haha.

So are you going to tell us what lake or at least province caught.

About blurring the photo, one guy tried trolling me about putting it back which I did. Lake pressure due to me not blurring the photo. It was fine their admins were pretty rad.

Looks similar to what we got up at Athabasca last year. High 30's inch fish and probably pushing close to 20 lbs. Nice fish especially if it came out of a southern lake.

Great fish, blurred part looks like foothills, guessing here.
But, really, the fish I wish to catch - congratulations.

Congrats on that monster. You didn't say, but I recognize a BC Laker when I see one. Beauty.
