Thanks guys..IMO lakers taste great especially on the grill. They are infesting Merrill and RV so I suggest giving them a try on the table! Lets keep a good level of catch and release going on these browns though its the only way to maintain good fishing and not let Merrill become like RV. Big browns taste like crap anyway!

Interesting. I had to look on Wikipedia to see what you all were talking about.

It turns out both Brook Trout and Lake Trout are members of the Salvelinus genus.

Salvelinus is a genus of salmonid fish often called char or charr..

While Rainbow Trout belong to genus Oncorhynchus and brown Trout belong to the genus Salmo.

What they all have in common is they all belong to the family Salmonidae.

Nice catch! Its feast or famine at MC. Just before the storms are most productive. When the bite is on its on. Otherwise, it can be a long day there. The smaller lakers are a good eating fish for sure. Then again, small fish of any species are usually better eating. I was there on Monday and hooked up with a few. One took a favorite lure of mine after a lengthy battle.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pic. It had a pretty wide jaw whatever it was.

May bird talons of some type . Had several trout this year display similar patterns of an attack .
