    Thanks Billy That is a beautiful landlock Brett Congrats also for hanging in there....We scrapped yesterday because of the predicted T storms and I think my son is still regretting quitting "too soon"....starting to remind me of myself I guess.. Let's hope all those little landlocks out there make it to that size and it will be a heck of a fishery once again.

    You deserved it Fishstix. It was a very tough derby and anyone who placed with fish deserved there prizes too. We fished as hard as we could and couldn't come up with anything big enough to enter this time Two 12 hr days of hard fishing and I'm still spent after resting up today

    Hey Admiral I think the only improvement would have been to put the lamprey in Liney's sandwich when he wasn't looking...you know how fond of them he is

    I believe 12 lb laker took the main prize. I think the status board on the website was current at the end of the derby. https://www.laketroutderby.org/current-standings

    I think you may have done better than 95 percent of the folks out there Mike in terms of numbers of fish.....good going...tough derby.

    vogel451 is right and that is probably where most of the bait is right now too although wind conditions can change it at any time.

    Cool report Cayuga sure is the place to be this season

    Maybe I should have said "divest themselves of liquid matter" but that is what I was referring to. Have a look at the bottom of a cooler sometime without anything in it but a freshly caught fish and examine it afterward and there will be slime, water, and a mixture of blood and all of that in there after the fish dies....it weighs at least hundreths of a pound and that is what I meant. After losing by 1/100 of a pound twice I am a firm believer in my statement.

    Yeah Brian....man... you don't miss much must be that attention to detail that makes you such a good fisherman That 2 stroke has seen some action and is headed for my son's 16 ft Aluminum soon. Still runs like a top My Tohatsu runs like a dream now too. Hey Mike I'm kinda waiting for my buddies at the south end to pile on me....but they are a little slow this year

    I in tend to launch out of Geneva but just in case I stop at Sampson to enter the winner this is what my boat looks like (this is especially for the benefit of the southenders)

    Just a comment from someone who has been knocked out of places a few times two of which were by 1/100 th of a pound.- Put the fish immediately on ice or a livewell and head for the weight station if you think it is a money fish. They do lose weight soon after dying especially if they dehydrate and after they poop or spit up bait etc and it can make all the difference sometimes. I had an additional unsettling episode at last year's Canandaigua Lake Trout Derby. I caught my derby winning fish at about 6 AM and the weigh station didn't open until 8 AM sowe were stuck keeping it on ice and waiting until the guy came and opened the weigh station and the guy couldn't understand why I might be a bit uptight about it You also may not want them real lively and flopping around on the scale either as the weight measurement may be inaccurate (been there too).

    WTG John. It truly is a beautiful venue there....now if only the silver fishery could rebound...
  21. Sk8man
    It is good to see you getting nervous about us Hop...I'll be sure to tell Mark as he is kinda like a bobcat about ready to pounce right now
  22. Sk8man
    OR you could run kite rigs off them Billy
  23. Sk8man
    I think it must relate to the real old ones then...another thing right there.....ever notice how many real old ones are still around and still on the water (e..g. work boats etc.)?
