Been with Zen, probably caught Whitefish that big on the Green years ago at some bridge that may not be there any more.
That mack was a hog! Fishing that low though, don't you think that as it was brought up the swim bladder would expand? Happened to me fishing for macks on Lake Tahoe. beautiful fish though. Would love to get one like that. Any idea on how long it takes to get to that size?

Both them Jacob's boys are picking on me.
Why is that? Am I that easy of a target?
One picks on me because I wanted to sell him overpriced flies, the other because I couldn't find some bridge and later discovered it had been rebuilt.

Carl,
Unless those lakers come up on the surface and take flies I'm not interested.
Just say no to bait (and plugs)

ZL, you gotta go deep, real deep for these bad boyz. I am talking over 100'. I have not tried to use a fly off of a down rigger. Hmmmmmmmm.... I guess when they spawn they will come to the surface and that is the only time. Fishing for them is like fishing for Chinook in the salt but you are in fresh water. GOING DOWN!!

Mike, Carl, that sounds like a great idea. I got new scotty electrics just for the occasion, well salmon also. The itch for Macks is very unique.I guess it's due to the possibilities that are in that lake, and the variety of "color moods" along with migration patterns the fish have. Finding them is half the science/fun/skill of a sucessfull day. I swear i have bought 40 or more spoons(way out of controll!) just for Macks since last spring after our first trip there. Mike, did you ever get a chance to fish it last year? It was pretty darn good considering how much the lake levels changed due to the drought conditions. Can't wait till March. Anyone ever heard of poor man's lobster?

FFF You are referring to Monk fish. Have had it before at a restaurant and it is really good. Very close to Lobster. That salmon throwin outfit at Pike's Market ususally has some on display that they like to scare custers with. It is one ugly fish. Zen not picking on you - honest - just trying to imitate T.M. After all, you had a hard time keeping us Jacobs straight - hmmmmmm maybe if I changed my name to Oncorhynchus mykiss Master????

BobbersDown, actually i am refering to a new(to me) recipe for Mackinaw i learned of this august that i picked up in Montana. Thought maybe other people have used this cooking technique on Macks. Macks seem extremely fishy to me. 3x the taste of Salmon. Not better or worse, just strong. First time i tried it i hated it. But cooked with this poor mans' recipe i feel the species may be in danger now. It tastes exactally like lobster! I rarely eat fish, letalone keep them, but, 1 mid sized Mack every few months is something to look forward to with this recipe. Anyone?

FFF, just for reference, my boat is 14' and the Coast Guard tag says 5 PERSONS MAX. Believe it when I tell you I have had 5 people in my boat too. Granted it was not with the gas motor but it was in salt water off of Kayak Point, we were crabbing. Just working my electric motor! I have complete confidence in my equipment! If all three of us "do it" in one boat we should do FFF's rig. We can solo boat it too.
