Ya, I noticed that.  Buddy of mine read they pulled this through a 8" hole.  No wonder it's not too pretty.

What a monster. I couldn't imagine pulling that thing through a hole.

Wow, is all I have to say...but am I the only one who thinks lakers get ugly as sin as they get bigger? not sure I would want that on the wall.

And the smaller lake trout absolutely taste better and have better texture.  probably in the old days that old whale would have just been fed to the dogs.

Agree.  But if I caught a state record, it's going on the wall.  

Go to Maine every yr for a ice fishing trip to West grand lake.  Did good this year.  6 guys caught over 40 fish.  Lakers, salmon and whitefish.  Biggest Laker was 24".   Had to toss it back as this lake has a 23" to 32" slot limit.
