Best day ever - 11 trophy Lake trout

What an incredible day it was recently at a remote Yukon lake. The Sommer family, a party of four from Switzerland, caught and released 11 trophy Lake trout such as the one pictured above. In the Yukon, a Lake trout is considered a trophy if it measures over a meter.
Short of not fishing at all - releasing fish back into the water is the single greatest personal contribution an angler can make to a local fishery. Let them go...its the right thing to do.
