Nice Laker on Cayuga

Hey guys this is what happens when you don't enter the derby !!! , had alot of fun this past Saturday and Sunday we travel up from Pa so getting to the ramp at dawn doesn't happen to often especially when your fishing buddy is your wife . We got to the ramp at 9;30 and thats when I realize that Barneys derby was going on .We ended up with quite a few lakers including this 31 incher and also a nice brown that hit  very shallow in the water column with very little line out , he came flying out of the water right in front of me I kept him on for the first jump but he came up again and threw the jig it was a hoot !!!

Very nice laker!  It's likely me (3rd place) you would have knocked off the board, had you entered the derby... assuming that laker is over 9 lb 9 oz which it looks like it probably is.  I think Bear will run that derby again next year, likely with a bigger turnout.  Was a fun one.

Didn't take the time to weigh him as I wanted to get him back in the water , he recovered fast and headed down .Cinnamon did you measure yours just curious what he might have weighed compared to yours .

I didn't, but the laker I got wasn't a super long one, it was an unusually fat one.  I'm guessing around 30".  Hard to say.  I find the weights vary a lot within the same length.  Really need the girth measurement too to estimate.
