Beautiful day to be on the water today. Air started out at 42 degrees which increased to the low 60's by noon. Water temps staying pretty consistent at 46 degrees. Launched at 7:30 am and pulled off at 2 pm. Winds light & variable. Great day for vertical jigging big lakers. Wish I could say we knocked their socks off today, but at least we had some defined quality involved.

Again, using the Cicada blade modification - with the single 1/0 Siwash hook (depicted in my report in the Fishing Tackle forum. For whatever reason, when I try to "upload" pics from my computer, it restricts the size, so I guess I'll try to show you the big girl of the day and see it that will be uploaded. Sorry, won't upload that either! Says I'm able to upload 7.32 mb, and each picture I try to upload is only 5.54 mb (PhotoShop size)? Guess I can't show you anything anyway. Sorry Folks. 

Suffice to say she was over 31" long and weighing in the neighborhood of 12 pounds. Too bad you can't see it.

 

 

 

Going to try one more time with these pictures:

 

 

Awesome fish. How deep did you catch it? My lake has had similar temps lately.

There is just nothing like Spring Lakers. I caught one last weekend when it charged my crankbait right next to the boat. To my lifelong bass fisherman's eyes these things look like monsters when they do stuff like that.

I reckon the Quabbin has many mysteries of the deep. Thats one of them!

Great looking fish. Vertical  jigging them is something I could get into.

Nice fish, great pics!

 

That's a Loaded Laker ~

Had to be a blast of a fight.

Congrats

They may not be the smartest fish but are they really morons?
