It is not his lake and many people make their living from others who come to fish the system. Except for the first part, you are correct.

Athabasca is more than 250 miles long and more than 400 feet deep. This is not your lake. Good god, grow up. Athabasca is more than 250 miles long and more than 400 feet deep. This is not your lake.

Smaller fish fine. Say fish up to 40 lbs but when they get this big that's simply not possible. To hold a lake trout of this size in the manner you describe would be impossible. Smaller fish fine.

Very hard to get a hold of in any case. 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.

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.

She was somewhere around 100 years old and by the estimates based on length and girth by Saskatchewan officials weighed somewhere around 65 lbs. Thanks for the complements.
