We were up at the Gorge this past weekend and I caught my first Laker. Caught on the downrigger trolling a flat fish. 16lbs. 13oz. The Koke bite was also red hot around the pipeline.

oh ya!!! great fish man. I love catching macs up there. well catching macs anywhere is a blast. through the ice is my favorite up there

That's a great mac, especially for your first one! Those fish are a completely different monster. How can something that big hit a jig with the subtlety of a perch, yet smash a trolled lure like it's a bad habit?!!! I'm positive you are ready to go back for more!!
On a side note, if that's a dink...I wonder what they call those pound and a halfers you catch while your trolling for kokes? Just curious [

Thanks. Everyone. Thats my biggest freshwater fish ever caught. I thought I was addicted to Koke fishing until I reeled that fish in. You know where I will be headed again this weekend...
