Here is a sample of the data on the largest lakers caught. There was a 40 incher caught on Mountain in 2011 (with the next biggest being 20 inches), but the biggest consistently come from LLC and Trout.
As you can see, they can get pretty big. If you wanna catch a tank, LLC and Trout are your best bet."
Flynn, Where do you get the DNR info in that spreadsheet/database look with different survey years in one place? Poked around on the site a lot throughout the years and never stumbled on that one. "
I wrote a few scripts in PowerShell to pull all of the data from their API and parse it out so I could do analytics on it with a tool/platform called Splunk."
Very cool. I mean obviously terrible data according to the wise "Wallski" haha. Sounds pretty techy, but I'm gonna google those things, cause I love data as well.

About 4 years me and my dad were trolling with a 5 inch jointed Rapala (fire tiger) in the middle of the lake after a long day of fishing, rather sluggishly. Out of nowhere his heavy spinning real bent as if we were hooked on a train and we began to move backwards. After a long fight we got a MASSIVE laker up to the canoe. it would not fit in our net, the same net that we previously got a 42 inch pike in. The tail was the size of a football (a duke not a pewee football). our only option was to paddle to shore but before we could even wrap our minds around what was going on it death-rolled and popped the hook on the edge of the net. My question is, how big do Lakers get in these big boundary water lakes?!?!?
(yes i still do lose sleep over this fish)

That sounds like a top-end fish. You'll get over it eventually. Just kidding.

I wouldn’t believe any lake survey the DNR does. They stopped stocking brookies in a lake back in 1998. I still catch brookies to this day in the year 2019.

If you ever see some of the photos of Dorothy Moulter (or other old-timers), there were some MONSTERS in Knife. I can't imagine fishermen have caught them all.

I know what you’re saying. I regularly catch striped marlin outta Sag. The DNR lake surveys don’t mention striped marlin at all. Sorry, no pictures. I’ll tell ya more about my lunch with a Sasquatch this afternoon when I have time.
