My son and I fished Cranberry Lake about 830 am along side the road. I started out with orange power bait and he tried a worm with a marshmallow above it. It was a cold and sunny day the beavers were working hard getting the winter food supply built up. The loons were sunning themselves and the eagles were chasing the young seagulls around the lake. After 45 minutes of watching the show I decided to check my bait, about five feet from shore I could see my power bait was still on the hook but I saw a big swell behind my bait so I stopped reeling. Soon as that happened the fish took the bait and immediately start taking line. After a couple of minutes of playing the fish I was able to get it closer enough to shore so my son could net it. My son and I were amazed it was a German Brown on power bait. I think it was just the color it was attracted to. I've always caught them on trolling gear never power bait. Here is a photo of it and we did release it. It was too beautiful to kill, so Josh the browns are close to the shore right inside the grass line.
