I caught this Togue (Lake Trout for you down south) the first morning out.
34 inches and 19 pounds.

In other words, what Hack is saying; "no pictures, no fish". Sorry, Guver!

Thatโll teach him to try and show off to us Southern boys. He canโt even do that right.๐

Ever fish East Grande or the west branch of the Penobscot? what about Frost Pond?
Wowee Zowee! Now that is a hawg of a lake trout! Makes the stuff we catch around my region of MI look like guppies!
Awesome catch! Maine is a great place to live and fish. I spent 4 years living in a small town named Brookfield NH, close to the ME border. Most of the time I was stream fishing for brook trout in both NH and Maine, particularly anything I could drive to within an hour in either State. There was also some decent bass fishing as well as the landlocked Atlantic salmon in Lake Winnipesaukee, near Wolfeboro, NH.
Keep on catchin' em'!

Darn nice laker, headed for the smoker?
Just noticed that West Grand Lake is quite a way's into remote territory. Or as "Bert and I" (New England Comedian troupe) would say "come to think of it, you can't get there from here."
I suspect that lake is teaming with fish! I noticed a Big Jon downrigger on board in your snapshot...were you running deep already out there, or are those togues still in fairly close to shore in the shoals?
Great picture, what a Hog. I spent a couple years at a Radar site just out of Bangor, on the way to Dover/Foxcroft.
Togue are still shallow. I caught her at 20 feet using 4 colors of lead core using a large 3" Northeast Troller spoon with luminescent tape. Most Togue are running 20 to 22 inches and are hitting at 10 feet deep. There is a slot limit of 23-33 inches so my big one was only 1 1/4 inches over that. ;-)
The lake has such an uneven bottom I haven't dared to use the downriggers. You can be trolling along in the middle of the lake 90' deep and suddenly see bottom over the side.
We haven't caught anything below 20' anyway so sticking with lead core and top lines.
