I had a tough day out here today, I lost two of my biggest fish. I lost a really big smallmouth bass that was probably about 20 inches. But I caught this 26″ beauty as skies opened up, and began to pour rain down on me. But it was worth it. I was making that final try, to make up for the Lake Trout I lost earlier in the day. While is was in the Northern Basin fishing for Smallmouth Bass, I lost a a 30″ Lake Trout. What made it really bad was why I lost it. I am usually very good about having everything ready, especially the net! We an hour before I lost the 30″ Laker, I went to put my net in its place. However; it was tangled in trolling gear. I said never mind I don’t need my net for Bass. Problem is this time of the year Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout often are in the same habitat, especially in the Northern Basin. Well I hooked a log of a Lake Trout, and got it to side of the boat. I tried to boat it by hand, it gave a violent shake and snapped my line. I watched my personal best Lake Trout swim away slowly. At least i finished the day with this decent Laker.
