Met up with Chris (quadradomus) who came over from Seattle. Hit the lake at 530pm and stayed on until dark. We trolled around a lot doing some metering and casted a couple lures for nothing during the first couple hours. We tossed cranks, spinners,various t-rigged plastics and did some drop-shotting around all the docks and weed lines we ran into. After being blanked for a while I played Captain on Chris's sweet 14' Lund and let him do a little trolling. Within a couple minutes he is reeling in a nice stocker trout on a green and silver Kastmaster. Once we got to the other side of the lake trolling I tied on a shad colored senko and flylined it. After a couple of tosses working it slow around fallen trees and stumps, I get hammered. The fight went on for a good minute with me guiding this nice LMB in and out of potential hang ups. Chris grabbed the net and after a couple runs from the boat, pealing drag, I got her close enough for Chris to get the net under her. I let out a yell that I'm sure you could have heard from across the lake. My new PB (personal best) Northern Strain LMB. She hit 4.4lbs on the digi. Awesome fish, great fight. I have a plan to do a lot more metering of this lake and hitting it up a lot more often then I have. My next step it to set up the Hudd and start tossing that thing around. So my persuit for a DD LMB begins. They can only get bigger.
