Salmon sized trout maxed out the scale…

This was a giant lake trout we saw floating on the water while we were trolling. It was already dead, and what a shame because it was a true trophy at well over 20lbs. It easily bottomed out our 20lb scale when we tried to weigh it. See the original video here:

It’s a few years old, but we caught some nice fish.

Dang man big laker probably got the bends by being reeled in to quick🤷🏻😟

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Yeah, that’s most likely. Either way it was a shame to see a fish of that caliber not make it
