What started as a friendly competition amongst the lodge owners has evolved into a dinnertime tradition that recognizes the outstanding catches of the day. Each evening anglers who landed a fish over twenty-one inches recount their epic battle and sign a board commemorating the event. Every year anglers at Elktrout Lodge catch hundreds of fish over 21 inches. 2007 was no exception with over 430 large fish landed.
Size doesn't always make for the best fish of the day, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to have one just a little bigger than your fishing buddy…
