My very first lake trout🥳🥳🥳 I literally went into the water to pull it out, it had come off the hook right in front of me. I was in my jacket and I had my arms and chest completely in the water to pull it out and I was able to grab it. I've been fishing for lakers for a long time but I've never had any luck, but this time I got lucky and caught my first lake trout. My jacket is wet now tho 🫩
