So, I recall someone saying they would eat their shorts if there was a laker in alouette lake... Well my friend sent me this today. Caught in the narrows at the back of the lake.
Fish was released after pic from what I was told...
I have some BBQ sauce if it would help the shorts go down ;D
-
Tail looks awfully square for a laker.
...and tell your friend to get his hands out of the gills if he is releasing a fish.

x2... He is killing that poor fish... ::) ::)

I don't know the guy it's my friends sons friend. I knew that would be what this thread turned into... Could be a massive bull trout. Definitely biggest fish I've seen in there
-
That's a bull trout.
-
Put the shorts away, the legend lives on
-
I got excited for a second there.
-
That's a bull trout.
X2, and most likely a very old one. Guessing it's cooked by now ..
-
I'm assuming the pic was taken down?

Is this thread a joke?

If you can't show the photo could you delete your thread.

But it is FUN commenting with silly remarks.

But on the subject of shorts... I was just hanging around waiting for the owner of these to come and get them.

worked at the north end of alouette for years and had a picture from b.c. outdoors magazine inside my locker door of a young girl from maple ridge with a 30 pound plus lake trout caught late 70s early 80s. Out with her family they ran out of spinning gear so dad hooked her up with a mooching rod ,flasher, weights and big metal lure that were spares on the boat

Are you sure that isn't the same photographer as the Mako Shark caught of Ucluelet ? Oh well it's early and it's on the internet it must be true .

What??? I don't understand the connection. Whatever - someone wanted to see a photo of an Allouette Lake Trout and there it is pictured at the Narrow beach. I didn't take the picture.

It's a friggin miracle.The sun is shining from two directions in that photo!Planet Krypton?LOL

Looks like the sun is almost directly overhead to me. But since you mentioned it, there does to be some questions on shadows. I wasn't there to confirm. Nice fish though.
-
At least we know the lakers are man-sized.
-
Also apparently some chubby ones in Allouette:

Calling Firebird, where are you ... ;D

The 2 photos of lakers are legit but from a long time ago. They came from Alouette. The one held by the guy in the orange floater coat was caught in 1998 in a gill net by BC Fisheries. Theoretically, there could be a behemoth or 2 cruising around in Alouette.
Sorry to hear a big bull trout was mishandled and released or killed ... there are not many in the lake. Having said that, retention of 1 char is allowable, for now, so there's nothing wrong with killing one. Sticking hands in the gills before releasing one is another story.
-
Buntzen Lake supposedly has Lakers as well. Has anyone heard of or seen one caught?
-
I've never even got a bite in buntzen, even right after stocking

Buntzen does not have Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush. They are not native to the region and have not been stocked in Buntzen.

Pretty sure years ago, it was posted on that sign they have depicting all the different species of fish the lake carries. Lake Trout, and Dolly Vardens were on there.

The Father and Daughter were from Port Coquitlam and lived just up the street from us.
Would have been around early 80,s as you say.
I heard it from him and read the article in BC Outdoors.
