Nice catch Marlin.
I was up in Olcott at my camp from 5/14 to 5/24.Too bad I didn't know you were up,we could have swapped some fish stories.
As you said,The fishing was to say the least,"spectacular". We had over 20 fish each day,probably some of the best in total of fish in a spring trip.
Sizes were small however in comparisons to the past few years.Our biggest was about 18lbs with lots in the mid teens.I expected the average amount to be in the high teens with several 20lbs or more.
Many days we stopped fishing by 10 or 11am as we had our limits and didn't want to keep fishing,as the survival rate drops on released fish quite a bit.
We had bitter cold weather with (i think it was Fri or Sat.) frost on the boat and water temps as low as 39 degrees.
The picture of the Sub-Troll down temp shows the water temp down at about 30' many days it was only 38 degrees,BRRRR.
Good trip without a doubt. I hated to come home,but after 9 days of getting up at 4:30 am,and the workout these spring kings give you,I was looking forward to some rest.
It's hard to explain how incredibly strong these fish are in the spring,trying to keep them from running across all the other lines,is not an easy task.
It is a hell of a lot of fun though. WE also had some fun with the goofy face protectors that our buddy gave us.
