CPR – (Catch – Photo – Release)

     

On Tofte Charters we do promote CPR of all large Lake Trout. Releasing the big ones allows them to grow even larger, produce thousands of eggs and allows us to catch them again. It takes a long time to grow a trophy size Lake Trout in Lake Superior's infertile waters. We have caught tagged lake trout from 12lbs - 17lbs that were 26 - 29 years old. In my opinion smaller / younger fish are much better eating.
