Big Mac

Happy meal with a toy? Forgeddaboutit. Brian Bowman dropped in from Washington and pulled a 19 pound Mackinaw out of Lake Pend Oreille yesterday. That should make him the winner of the Mac competition for this year’s K & K (Kamloops & Kokanee) week. Sponsored by our Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club, the K&K spring derby is a bit more famous and popular than the Kentucky Derby in these parts. Okay, write this down. He used an Apex lure to attract this 37 incher. Now that’s a Big Mac.

Check out the 41 inch Mac that Mark Hulls landed to take first place in one K&K Derby that weighed 25 lbs, 4 oz. and wear a bib so you’re not embarrassed when you start to drool.

You can check out the terrific Apex lures at Steve’s Fishing emporium and then let me know what kind of luck you have on Lake Pend Oreille in Sandpoint, Idaho.   The big Gerrard Rainbows are the biggest trout in the world.  Kokanee Glacier Beer and land locked salmon are both popular in British Columbia, Canada.   When I was a kid we did not the beer but we did have an abundance of the land locked salmon.   Not so today and a continuous effort is lead by the LPOIC to bring back the good old days.
