Launched Taughannock. Bit of rain at first but the fish were biting at Kingtown Beach and North of AES. Great morning, hot bite before 7:30 but was catching fish until I left at 10:00. 70-85 fow. White and green the usual. Saw lakers stacked 120' but didn't fish them. Put 10 in the boat, lost a few.

The one in the pic put up a fantastic fight. Hard to take a good pic by yourself but this is one of my top 2-3 lakers ever, a solid 34" and thick. Size 13 shoe is over 13"... for fish pics wish I had small feet!

Unfortunately my deck is rotting out and needs replacing, so it's a bit loose- lost a 18" lamprey below which will start stinking up the boat soon. Might prod me to replace the deck. Only two lamprey today.

Thanks all, it was a fun morning and a bit of luck with the big one. All released. The fatty took a few minutes of me holding it boatside but swam away just fine. Upgraded that funny drag reel to a nice Shimano and that fish made it worth it. Smooth and adjustable, quality counts.
