Went to Lake George with Erbyjoe in the mid 80's trolling for salmon and lakers. Fishing 40-50 down over 140-150. One morning while trolling by Green island one of the downriggers fires and I grab the rod. We had been catching smaller salmon and lakers up to 3-4 lbs and lots of them. This one felt HUGE I could barely move it, reel down pump up, reel down pump up. This went on for 5-10 min and we backed the boat over the "fish". Next thing we see is a yellow rope and Erby grabs it, ended up pulling up a 10lb anchor and 100ft of anchor line :shock:
