Caught my first Lake Whitefish! I've only ever seen one of these guys in person -- dead during the summer washed up on shore 🥹 My friend told me it was a brutally slow day even though we marked probably close to 100 fish but only got about a dozen to come play ☹️ hooked and lost a few but that's part of fishing! Between the two of us, we caught 3 and I took home the one that I caught! Been feeding the family for a bit now ✌️😁
