For the winter trout opener (on lakes outside of the BWCA), we hopped on snowmobiles and headed out in search of lakers. There were several other groups on the lake and everybody seemed to be constantly on the move- I assume that we all had similar luck, meaning tough fishing. In our party, Kris Clusiau, Jason Clusiau, and I didn't get a single laker through the ice, but Kris pulled in this interesting looking northern. Its coloring and pattern almost resembled a lake trout- definitely a tighter pattern than an average northern. The measurement of 36" that Kris came up with seems pretty conservative after I looked at this picture again. He measured it by himself before the camera crew (Jason) arrived. By that time, Kris wanted it back in the water ASAP to make sure it survived, so we never got a real accurate measurement. This was definitely the high point of the day.
