Caught 3 nice and plump Moutain Whitefish this morning. New species for me! Tasty too. We did fish fry and it was splendid! Shoutout Lukas for the camera work.

Was another whitefish kinda day, caught three total, all released. Had one nice brown chase after my spinner. Once again caught all my fish on Panther Martin Sonic Spinners, the only brand I use and trust! I bought 7 new ones today and only lost two which still really sucks haha! 🤣 but I was not ready to go swimming for them! Fiancee also caught a little whitefish on the fly and his line broke when I was taking photos of him and when I went to grab the fish my phone fell in the water but I got the fish and my phone! So far my phone is working good! Also I don’t understand whitefish, I catch them and they put up a good fight, bring them in and leave them above the water quickly take a photo and remove hook, hands are wet before touching them and yet they don’t swim off great. Yet trout go shooting off. Anybody else notice this?
