[font "palatino, Arial, Helvetica"][black][size 3]Lucas was on an eight hour fishing outing with his family. They had already boated over 20 fish with three other Lake Trout over 30 lbs. "We were just getting ready to pull lines when the fish hit," said Captain Price. "It's a good thing Lucas works out regularly. He can press 300 lbs." [/size][/black][/font]

[font "palatino, Arial, Helvetica"][black][size 3]Captain Price added. "The laker was in excellent shape and Lucas did everything right during the 25 minute battle." The fish was caught while jigging with 12 lb test and spinning gear. With a girth of 36" (six inches bigger then Lucas's waist), measuring 48" long , and 61 lbs 8 oz the catch may be a new world record for 12lb line class. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "palatino, Arial, Helvetica"][black][size 3]This natural fishing reef is an underwater mountain range of approximately 1x5 miles of pinnacles that almost reach to the surface from depths of nearly 600 feet. The reef is loaded with native Mackinaw Lake Trout that often exceed 30 pounds. "This is a very dangerous fishing area, said Price, "sometimes we venture 6-8 foot waves to get out, I would not recommend anyone navigate to this area without a professional guide."[/size][/black][/font]
