very nice fish
I got to fish in athabaska…was amazing.
i could see that latching on to someones face
nice fish man! it would be nice to get one of those monsters on a fly rod hey?
I guess this is where I say thanks…I sense you were excited and seeing that being the case, we did our job. Thanks for posting.
Bob
wow man what’s up
That’s a nice fish. Just remember size is always relative. Just fish to enjoy the sport and you will catch bigger as time goes on.
Thanks for posting…Bob
I’m not sure about being a girl, but…..
Your opinion is correct, but remember we do this in the name of television. Therefore we take every precaution as not to hurt these great fish, large or small.
Thanks for watching…Bob
Yes, we just shipped 26 new shows on Hi-Def. WFN can tell you when we air. It should be on their airing schedule.
Thanks for watching…Bob
nice my biggest ever wighed 6lbs 13 oz but ive only been about 4 times
Is Simply Fishing still on WFN I have not seen it on lately?
Scare about the teeth? You have not idea. You should trie a 12 kg steelhead in Patagonia. You are a girl releasing a fish. But you can learn!!!
When you get a fish this huge, and want to realese it, you shuld not lift it out of the water in my opinion. Of course hard to practise when you are fishing from a boat.
wow! iv never been in a lake deeper the 128ish ft. are they down that far?(400ft) even in 100ft they are slow to bite for me and i do better in 10ft ridges surouned by deep water(mostly ice fishing im talking bout) then i do ok all to about 70ft. once when the downrigger triped and my rig was skipping the surface i was catching lakers on top water in 70ft of water! can u belive that?! they are just few and far inbatween for me and id like to learn some tips to ctach more lakers great vid
100 years old?! Wow, I had no idea!
Early July. The water temps were 50 degrees and the fish was in no more than 14 feet of water.
Sorry you don’t approve but the fact is you are looking at a picture that was in fact taken while the fish was being lifted into a better position. Furthermore have you ever handled a large lager? They have monster teeth, very small lower jaw structure and twist like nothing you have ever seen. I did eventually get her under control. The fish was released very soundly. I have caught many lakers over the 45 lb mark and am very much aware of proper handling procedures. But nonetheless, thanks.
Thanks for the complements. She was somewhere around 100 years old and by the estimates based on length and girth by Saskatchewan officials weighed somewhere around 65 lbs.

You can’t hold them like a bass, they have very large and sharp teeth. Very hard to get a hold of in any case.
To hold a lake trout of this size in the manner you describe would be impossible. Smaller fish fine. Say fish up to 40 lbs but when they get this big that’s simply not possible.
No Comment for the uninformed.
Good god, grow up. Athabasca is more than 250 miles long and more than 400 feet deep. This is not your lake.
Except for the first part, you are correct. It is not his lake and many people make their living from others who come to fish the system.
