"I was astounded at its size and lack of any lamprey scars or wounds"

That's what she said

really though, should this have gone in the upstate ny, vt, or quebec threads?

I don’t know but that’s a huge fish. And they say it’s not the biggest trout in VT history. This is why I always wonder what kind of monster is cruising around under my ass when I’m out paddling.

Beautiful fish for sure, thanks for posting.ML242. Hope you are well and it’s been to long since we skied together.

Wouldn’t “record trout” suggest otherwise?

Quote from the article: “While the fish isn't the largest fish of its kind caught in the state, it is the largest lake trout caught in Lake Champlain.” I took that to mean that larger lake trout have been caught in VT- just in other lakes.

It's a laker in fit condition..y/n? I mean for the size it's really not that heavy..like many of the lakers taken in Moosehead through the decades(Ha, showin' my age)....but obviously a really nice laker...but
when one starts talkin' about Canada's big lakers from Great Bear and Great Slave....this one's just a teen, but up until 2000s the old' n' slow past Maine IF&W....consistently stocked the da*n things in the lakes....only to feed on the juvenile brooktrout. Thank God they've turned the page...opting for rainbow and brown fisheries in the western mtns.
