[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]The spawn is tough fishing! They burn my butt all the time! LOL! Those fish hit so quick and so hard, it's hard to get a hook in them! If you are not right on top of them, you might as well forget it! Like I said before, I suck![/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I'm headed over to the Gorge the weekend before Christmas. We'll be spending two days with Jim. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope we get on a few fish but I really want to learn a few more tricks. Maybe it'll give me a better shot at those macks! [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]The lake record for Bear Lake is around 31 lbs. The biggest fish I've seen from Bear Lake is hanging on a guy's wall in Hyrum. His son caught the fish. It was either 22 or 23 pounds. It is a nice fish. I've seen the mount and the taxidermist didn't get the BL coloration correct. It's way too dark, more like a Gorge mack but it still looked pretty good. The guy said he sent copies of the pictures of the fish, which are hanging on the wall next to the mount, to the taxidermist to match the more silver color. By BL standards that is a really nice fish. If you catch a fish over 16-17 lbs, you're doing dang good.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]BLFG can answer the question about mack hitting the surface better than I can. I've heard what you've heard. It's to break up the roe sacks for spawning.[/size][/font]
