Congrats, young feller... That's a nice trout...He's certainly fat and well fed...Pretty fish...
Lakers are excellent eating... Better than rainbows or browns IMHO, although not as good as brookies...
Around here lakers from the Great Lakes and Finger Lakes have a reputation of being strong (fishy)...The key is in caring for them after you catch them...Kill them promptlyand put them right on ice as soon as they are caughtand they are excellent...Let them lie in the bottom of the boat or put them on a stringer or in a livewell in surface temp water for a couple of hours and let them warm up, and they'll be soft and fishy tasting...
