The big laker was aged by the DEC and it was 22 years old.  The ear bone (otolith) is what they need to remove.  Congrats again on the rainbow.  Amazing fish!

She was 29.25lbs and 39.5” long.  Fought her for 20 min.  Hit a stick bait on 15# floro running 25’ down over 250’ of water.  Didn’t feel like a fish till the last 40’ and she did a few monster head shakes but for the most part she was just dead weight the whole time. We are going to try and get her aged to see how old she is.  Just an amazing experience and make you realize how important a really good net man is.
