    If you are handy with a knife (meaning can handle a stiffer blade comfortably) and can use a stone to keep an edge, pick up a couple Dexter Russell 8" Wide Boning Knife 2150 1378 with the wood handles and call it a career. They run about $25 each or so. It's a staple of the northeast ground fishery (cod, haddock, pollock) since I was a kid working on a fishing boat in the summers and still used now. My son uses the same model when he worked a few summers on the party boats recently. Simple design, sharpens to a razor since it's a high-carbon steel blade, you can sharpen repeatedly over the years and does EVERYTHING you want it to do with the right person using it. Filet, skin, chop, steak a fish... Since it's a carbon-steel blade, if you use in saltwater, take care to wash the blade thoroughly and put a wipe of veg/olive oil along the blade. Just wipe it prior to next use. Also helps to oil the handle since it's wood and prevents cracking. Pick up two for around $50 and you won't need to worry again. I say two in the event you lose one

    Fished there a few times around 2000. Those cookie cutters are actually the normal size of the fish there....20" is a good one. Looks like you were fishing behind Mount Kineo. We caught loads of lakers there down 65'-75' on brass mooselooks with gold taped backs. Out of close to 100 lakers, I think the biggest we took was 21". Biggest salmon we took was 16". Most of our salmon came off the Moose River mouth, Rockwood point, and around Moody Islands this time of year when we fished. A side trip to Roach Pond produced our best salmon and brookie. While Moosehead is a beautiful lake and the surrounding scenery and moose population alone are worth traveling too, the fishing (size wise) are very disappointing and have been for a very long time.

    Went 3-4 out of Fair Haven. 90 down over 200' king, 105 down over 400 king, 110 over 110 brown and l another brown same depth. . All spoon bite on riggers. Marked little to 550' west of chute. Came inside and found 60 degrees at 100' on bottom for brown.

    I'd have to agree. Spent the greater part of my adulthood chasing landlocks and they differ slightly on strain. This looks like a similar strain used on Lake Champlain. With the Province of Ontario stocking over 1 million Atlantics (2007-2009) into the Great Lakes in the last 3 seasons, it appears they are beginning to show in the creels. Nice 'Lock!
