Could anybody please tell me what's this fish??? Went fishing from the dock this morning. I was using drop shot with pork as bait. I got quite a few little perch, and finally this 15-incher. I am new to fishing, can't really tell what is it? I tried to compare it with the pictures in "Fishing in Washington" pamphlet with no avail. The only species that came close was lake trout. Was it a lake trout??? Can anybody tell me? I was using barbless hooks, so it was released with minimal wound on the lips. (Last year I went to Yellowstone National Park, I was told that all lake trout caught must be killed and cannot be released. But our state doesn't seem to have this rule, I hope. :-)
