Ok, it's not from Mexico but I caught this 14lb beauty at Shuswap lake (BC Interior) on the weekend.

Didja rent a Houseboat?

Yep and caught this fella right off the back of that houseboat. We threw him on the barby that night. Hmmm hmmm.

Bet it was really good!

Bob, I am envious....very few people ever catch a double digit fresh water fish*10 pound plus.....other than Steelhead or Salmon.....I know they go both ways....LOL

What is is Bob, I don't recognize the fish? The jaw looks familiar.

Looks like a Mackinaw (Lake Trout) to me.

Lots and lots of freshwater fish exceed 10lbs here in The Great White North

Lakers ( Bobby's Fish ) Jack or Norther Pike... Sturgeon... Channel Cats...

A friend of ours caught a 12lb Walleye her first time out ( very big for a Walleye )

Northern Saskatchewan has more Yanks fishing up there than Canucks

They come mainly for the fish ... but the Beer is better too!!

Hocks, I caught a 7' Sturgeon on the lower columbia....when the keep limit was 3-6 feet....after a one hour battle.....just carved date caught on the scales....and released.....Sturgeon and cat fish go both ways.....once we sell our home here....plan to fish in Canada and Alaska.

David is correct.....Canada calls them lake trout....we call them Mackinaw...normally in USA, we use down riggers....as they are deep.

I want to see pics of you guys catching some of these:

Yes, that's correct. We call them lake trout or "lakers". I caught this fellow about 80 feet down on a large watermelon Apex Spoon. Anything silver and black was also hitting good. I also caught a couple of 6 lb rainbows on a white rubber leech about 30 feet down.

I can't wait to dig in on some of those sailfish...........

OMG fresh rainbow trout - I would kill to eat one of those. My grandfather fished in the mountain brooks in California and brought home fresh trout. Never had anything so good in my life.

When I was a young pup back in the 50's & early 60's, we used to go to: http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/
and fish from canoes for Lakers. In the early spring before the waters warmed, these fish were near the surface and we fished with light tackle canoe trolling at less than 20 feet. Lots of fun coaching them in on light gear.

Years later (70's), our favorite lake was: http://www.utahoutdooractivities.com/flaminggorge.html
Again if one fished at the right time of year, you could catch German Browns in the shallows. Germans or Rainbows in the 15 to 25lb range were not unusual and a whole bunch of fun on 4 or 6lb test line and light gear. Never fished for Lakers because we were never there when they were in the shallower water but Lakers in the 40 to 50lb range were not uncommon.

Someone is on adult beverages....not me....in 2008 the world record for largest German Brown was caught @ Lake Tahoe.....15.2 pounds.....far short of the claim as a cheenagringo,,,,,,, Proves the point fishermen are liars.....without photos LMAO

Jim:

Once again, you are relying on faulty info! While they may have told you that at Lake Tahoe, a 15.2lb German Brown caught in 2008 would have been classified as a MINNOW! Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_trout
How about 41.45lbs caught in Michigan in 2009? You have to get out of bed much earlier in the morning to catch me telling a tall tale when it comes to fishing!

I fish 200 days per year....you stated you caught 15 to 30 pound bows in the 70' you prove fisherman are liars

Wrong Buckwheat! You might try using spell check before you post - bows?

How about some references:

By the way, I fished with nothing but Rapala's given to me by their factory testers when they showed up at the Lake to test new product.

OK now here's a fishing scenario that occurred on the weekend:

Fisherman #1 hooks into a fish. The fish swims across the lines and fisherman #2 hooks onto the same fish although thinks he has a different one and starts reeling it in. #1 thinks he has lost his fish cause all the play is gone from his line now. #2 plays the fish all the way to the boat and into the net. #1 sees his hook in the fishes mouth and claims he gets credit. I said "he who nets it gets it". What do you fellows think?

Throw it on the barbie and who cares who caught it! After enough rum and cokes or tequila and whatever - who cares?

I’m with “Cheena”, just get it on the grill. Of course the guy that parks it gets the credit. He proved himself, the other guy we will never know if he could have, No?

I'd say it's fisherman #1's fish as he would have the right of way with a fish on if no one else was hooked up. Another point would be fisherman 1's hook was probably in the fishes mouth and number 2 probably snagged the fish or line and either way, no way. Of course being behind a few beers, which I'm confident you guys were, the fish would belong to the bigger guy.

O.K. another scenario; #1 hooks the fish and breaks his line at about the same time #2 hooks on. There are just too many ifs, No? That’s why I’m for who parks it, gets it, there really needs to be minor rules however who puts it on the grill first gets my vote.
