Catch & Cook: LAKE TROUT (Severely Underrated)

No love for the Lake Trout. Do a quick Google search and you'll see most joke and refer to it as "eat the plank" still. Met up with Roger -    / @cookingandfishing  

We jigged lakers on deep water humps the bite was all over the place at times and the trout wanted different presentations somewhat regularly.

Lures used that worked:

1/2 oz Binsky Blade - These look compatible - http://amzn.to/2CGhVET
4" Gulp Nemesis w/ 3/4 oz jig - http://amzn.to/2CCpJaz
EliasVFishing Shad White (trimmed after stripers beat it) - http://amzn.to/2Cv6ZfF

Rod - EliasVFishing 6'6" Fluke Ninja Custom (details available soon on site) - http://bit.ly/2EvPz0C

After I met up with Mario again co-owner of Brooklyn's Sotto Voce. We made a recipe similar to the Atlantic Salmon. Mario also made a hot smoked lake trout salad that was absolutely amazing if you aren't able to cold smoke a laker.

It consisted of the following ingredients:
1 20"-23" lake trout hot smoked 2 hours
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese
Chopped Parsley
Chopped Cilantro
1 Jumbo Shallot
Lemon Zest
2 Teaspoons Blackening Season (add more if you'd like)
