I watched this thread and wanted to post a picture of a big Winni Laker. Problem was I couldn't find the darn picture. Well, I found it.
This older fella came splashing across the ice in a pick up truck one day in mid March 1988, (maybe it was 89) ... anyway he was stopping at every Bob House on his way from Long Island to Ellacoya to show off his fish. He told us he caught it jigging just off the tip of Long Island in about 10' of water.
Never got his name and I don't know exactly how big it was. It was a big one though.
Damn, I had a lot more hair back in 88...
