Good lord that thing is fat!

 

[Billy]

37 inch girth is what you look for in a Soap Lake momma

My kid went missing the other day, maybe she’s inside that thing?

Hmmm . . . "Kokanee" . . . Beer gut? Quite a fish.

Headline says that the guy was fishing with his son, so you might be on to something…

That’s one way to get more fishing time in

Look for a lake that has farmed trout or other fish, that guy has all of the look of a pellet eater, huge fish though.

“That’s almost a 60-year-old fish…I fooled it once, and it might have been the only time it’s ever been fooled. But I’m not gonna take its life for that.”

Respect, what a catch and memory for a father and son!

Reminds me of a book I read as a kid.....

"Never feed him a lot.
Just so much, and no more!
Never more than a spot!
Or something may happen.
You never know what."

The lake isn't much of a secret, and it does kick out some huge lake trout. They feed primarily on Kokanee.

I’m tying up some full sized Kokanee flies right now.....

 

[troutpocket]

Roaring Judy hatchery releases millions of Kokanee fry every year into the lake. Pretty good place to be a lake trout.

Damn, what a pig. Kudos for letting it go. All that fat would make it a fire hazard to grill, if not inedible anyway.

What I'm curious about is what comprises the base of the food chain feeding the kokes to grow a beast like that.

Absolutely gross!
