    Well, it ain’t from Lake Zumbro, but it is a mighty fine toothie critter (if there is such a thing )

    After spending a good chunk of Thursday and Saturday morning on the river with pretty urine poor results ( ) we decided to hit up Lake Winona Saturday night and again Sunday…….GOOD DECISION!!!

    Not a lot of fish coming to the boat, but the quality more than made up for it. I personally caught 4 large mouth over 18 1/2″, one going 20 1/2″ . Lost a few in the weeds and had a few follow it right to the boat too.

    and did I mention the 3 dang slimmers that boinked my crankbait , biggest one went 36 1/2″, with another going 32″ and one small one.

    Best part, the nicest weather one could possibly ask for and not a jet ski in sight ……I may have gotten a bit of a sun burn though

    Jake,

    Those pics look an awful lot like the shoreline of Lake Zumbro. Oh well, nice fish no matter where they came from!

    Good Fishing,
    Mike

    No, it’s electric motors only.

    I’ve only been there once…but if I was a betting man….

    Just like Jake to throw a fella of his trail…

    Nice fish old boy! It was nice to see the sun again too!

    PS…very fitting signature file….

    So what’s the point of all my nonsense rambling…….I treat every fish story I hear with skepticsim (sp?)……UNLESS I see a picture or know the reliablity of the source .

    Now, I’m not saying there aren’t any 44″ Pike in Lake Zumbro (as I do believe there probably are), and I’m not saying one wasn’t caught……I’m just saying I’d like to start seeing some pictures of all these monster fish coming out of the lake .


    Throwing the average fisherman off again…don’t be so selfish with your hot spots Jake!

    Darn……looks like you guys caught me playin tricks again…..So every one should head out to Lake Zumbro to catch BIG bass and BIG pike…….I definatly wouldn’t waste my time on Lake Winona as the only thing living in there are 5″ sunnies and carp

    YES!!! you can, but it is “No Wake”.

    It’s not that big of a lake, so it’s really no big deal…..plus it keeps fishing pressure down…..not to mention it keeps the waterskiers and jetheads out!!!

    Congrats little buddy. Finally got yourself a big toothie critter.

    [or did the cute little blond who took the pics of you catch them and she was afraid to hold them up for a pic?]

    Thanks, Bill
