State record Lake Trout.

Payette Lake in McCall Idaho lake trout.
How would you like to catch this using ultralight tackle?

Could be fun... not sure I'd have the patience to coax it in to the net!

 

[PaPa K]

Holy smokes, what are you folks feeding them down there?

That's what I'm talkin about!

My dad, brother, and I fish the Chesapeake Bay with light tackle for striped bass. Nothing more fun than fighting a pig on a light rod.

That’s a bad dude!!!

I’ve got a longtime RC brother that relocated from here in NC, up to a massive ranch there many years back.. The wild life in Idaho is absolutely NO JOKE.

This a recent catch?

 

[CertifiedMike]

This whole story seems a little fishy to me.

 

[Alwaysonauto]

That's a BIG fish.

I doubt it, I just pulled it off the web. I'm sure it's an old pic.
The Lake is called Payette lake but I hate it up there in McCall.
Super snobby people.
EDIT: I just looked, it was caught June 19th of this year so indeed recent.

I use light action tackle for Crappie and Bass, so fun.

I love Idaho, the wildlife is definitely unreal. We see deer very often, in fact I posted a pic a week or two ago of two bucks standing in
our front yard. It's not uncommon to see bears and lots of elk.

I live in Cali with a wife and two teens, one boy and one girl. So, obviously, I don't even have 2 bucks in my wallet.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm on SSDI so the only two bucks I see was in my yard.

When I was fishing, 30lb Trilene was considered light tackle
