The way I figured it,Steves head is 11 inches long and the fish is almost exactly 3 Steve heads!

I knew this advice would come in handy someday.

Glad I didn't eat it.

Here is a photo from NHFG,Nubanusit Lake This Lake Trout was caught doing there trout survey this year.

The fish weighed 27 to 31 pounds and estimate length was over 40 inches, the fish scale ruler only went up to 40 inches, they did not want to weigh the fish so they would not stress it out

About 10 years ago I was boating home passing Black Point when I noticed a boat in the distance that had 3 guys draped over the side of the boat. I went to check it out and saw that all three were holding a fish (big fish) that I had to assume was a laker. They were moving the fish back and forth trying to pass water (oxygen) through the gills before they released. This thing had to be about 3 feet long.

So being the rookie I was I asked " what'd ya catch it on?"

With a good smirk one of them answered "Jitterbug - on the surface"

A true story
