So it should come as no surprise if the next record laker comes from that same fishery.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">And it almost did. Check this out: Members of the Deline First Nation harvested a lake trout from Great Bear Lake that weighed 83 pounds! They were sustenance fishing with a gill net and tried to revive the monster laker, but it was already dead.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">We heard about this amazing lake trout from fishing guide Brandon Isaac, who works at Plummer’s Arctic Lodges, which is about 150 miles on the opposite side of Great Bear Lake from the Deline First Nation community. As Brandon writes in his Facebook post: “I’ve been privileged to visit them twice. Amazing people and stewards of the land.”</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Brandon continued: “This fish is part of the reason why I love guiding in the arctic. Every morning, every guide launches their boat thinking “today could be the day”. The new world record is cruising around there somewhere. And since we’re a catch & release lodge – the 50 pounder caught 10 years ago is potentially still alive, but 20-30 pounds bigger.”</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><a href="http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=35031.0;attach=43730;image" target="_blank"><img src="http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=35031.0;attach=43731;image" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><a href="http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=35031.0;attach=43730" target="_blank"><img src="http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/Themes/Alfresco/images/icons/clip.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 17200879_1831915527026014_2670046038026361533_n.jpg</a> (63.84 kB, </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
