laker67 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 First lunker of the 2020 season. Caught another later in the day but we parted company as I was trying to get a picture . A good start to the 2020 goal of 100 lunkers. I only have 98 more to go. Seth, Ryan Miloshewski, BilletHead and 11 others 14

Johnsfolly Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Great looking male rainbow! 98 to go and counting ! Good Luck! JestersHK and laker67 1 1
JestersHK Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Very nice! I'm assuming you are going by the 20in mark for a lunker? We came up short just a few times last weekend although I did hit 19.5. I think I'll use you as inspiration and start tallying my fish over 20inches. laker67 1

We came up short just a few times last weekend although I did hit 19.5. I think I'll use you as inspiration and start tallying my fish over 20inches. The old lunker standard was 3 pounds and larger. Never measured any fish just went on weight. I started a log book way back on my first lunker. It weighed 3lb 10oz and was caught on a salmon fur bug in zone one at bssp, October 18, 1975. Apparently the new lunker standard, at the parks, is 18 inches. Not many 18 inch rainbows will be any where close to 3 lb. You should do the log book just for your own personal data 40 years from now. You have some good ones that will make the list. Johnsfolly, JestersHK, nomolites and 1 other 3 1
JestersHK Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Yeah I need to start a book. I have pics but will rarely weigh a fish unless they are a real fatty. I do try to photo anything 20in and up and keep a tape handy. Have a new digital scale thing but messing around in the dark mostly when I fish, measuring and weighing is a pain in the butt LOL. Hopefully we can cross paths this year! Would love to finally meet ya in person! laker67 and Johnsfolly 2
laker67 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 Most fish I do not weigh. Those that earn a look see, I weight in the net and then subtract the net's weight. That is easy to do at night. Hope to run into you also. nomolites, Daryk Campbell Sr, JestersHK and 1 other 4
laker67 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Ended January with a total of 9 lunkers. If I can maintain this average, I may make my goal of 100 lunkers for the year. FishnDave, JestersHK, BilletHead and 3 others 6
