I caught about a 15 inch whitefish today. What's the biggest whitefish you have caught?

It's a great river to fish. It's probably loaded with people today. That's why I chose to fish where I caught the whitefish. Nice and quiet with no one in sight or sound.

good job.... i figure you caught it by accident? rather than fisihng for it.... any way if they are the same whitefish i caught in MT than thats great
because those where great eating

I was just fishing. I expected it to be a cutthroat and then I thought it was a pikeminnow, for a second, until I saw it's mouth. Then I knew what it was. It's the biggest whitefish I've ever caught and I haven't caught one in a long time. So I'm pleased with my catch.
I've heard they are good eating but I let this one go.

well thats your call on releasing it... but boy they are pretty good to eat
dont they usually run in late fall, early winter and thats when guys catch them?

Thats a big whitefish! I lived in Montana and we use to catch them, but we never ate them! We always tossed them back or gave them away.

I have no idea. The only other place I've caught them before was at Armitage Park on the Mackenzie and they were all around ten inches long. I plan on fishing this stream more this year. If I find that it has a nice population of whitefish I just might have to try eating some.

I have caught some over 18" at Odell. Nice Thomas by the way!! My favorite lure for more than 25 years.

I saw a gent catch 3 in one afternoon up at Big Cliff. He said he gets at least a couple a week. So,what's the vote? Are they good to eat or not good to eat. Do you have a favorite receipe? It looks big enough to put up a good fight,did it? That is always fun.
Be safe.

They definitely can put up a fight but I have always considered them a trash fish and have never eaten one.Raincatcher said:

I have caught 2 or 3 at Big Cliff, but nothing like that size. Nice work!

That's the same exact lure/pattern I used at Hagg today. It was productive for both of us.

Yeah, I just bought that lure last week and have caught 7 fish with it and the hooks are already bent out of shape. Great lure though.

Yeah, it fought the same as a trout that size.
