Awesome video. I run my Hum 899 side image "open water" fish finder on the ice with an ice ducer for the last 6 years, build a "flasher" kit box for it and use it in jig mode. I get the wide cone false bottom often times on steeper areas. I never have, and will never own a flasher lol.
Man, those lakers are aggressive and coming up like rockets. Only thing better than watching those graph shots, is when it's MY graph that I'm looking at!
I see you are in relatively shoal water...do you switch up to the pro glass when deeper? If I had to guess,the pro graphite looks like a med fast action. I'm usually 80+ ft. Ty
The pro glass would be a good rod for that deeper water. If you are using braid as a main line it won’t be as big of a deal but the added backbone of the pro glass would help in deep water!
@@dougwegnerfishing using nanofil 17lb which is no stretch but also does not ice up as bad as braid and is not as loud through the guides. I appreciate your response on the advice of rods. Appreciate!
Great video. What handle type and guides are you using on your rod? I live very close to Thorne Bros. and want to have them make me one like yours. On your web site it doesn't show that you guide for lakers. Do you and if so, where can I find out prices and areas that you guide in? I've never caught a laker and it's high on my bucket list. Thanks!
Hey Doug, I always enjoy your laker video's. It gets me so hyped up everytime I watch it. Hope to see some more in the near future.
Thanks for watching I have a few more coming yet!
Love your videos Doug. Keep em coming!
Thanks for watching more to come!
Another great video. Loving these lake trout videos.
Thanks for watching! More to come

That’s the best part about them!
What kind of tubes do you run? How can I get ahold of them? Also, I really like that Swedish pimple.

6” cork rear grip
Hidden hood reel seat
Recoil guides
44” pro graphite blank
I don’t guide ice trips at this time maybe in the future.?
did the Pipestone Princess see any action this year?? Since Canada was out of play for us this year, guessin not, but thought Id ask
No it did not but it will be back!
What cases are used for those long rods? I have two TUCR 44" LTP's and have yet to find a good case that is reasonable.
I got the new otter 48” case this year and it’s been awesome. It’s more like a 46” case tho if I’m being honest.
Do you slow down at all when you have one chasing or just keep a steady retrieve? I’ve had a lot of chasers that just won’t commit.
Steady has been best even a little bit faster if they won’t bite it’s a game of cat and mouse. They can swim way faster than you can reel!
What Fishing line are you using?
LAKERS ARE AMAZING CREATURES 😉👍🏻.
For sure one of my favorite fish!
another awesome vid!!!! u def know your shit
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!
You should try challenging yourself and fish for harder to catch fish like bluegill... pshhhh good stuff🤘🏻
Haha ya I’ll get right on that.
Listen to that drag ZZZZzzZZZzzzzzZZZZ!!
The best part about trout!

Pffft...dinks! We get 80 pound lake trout here in Texas.
