I agree with all of you who say it's tough. I camp there a lot, so I spend a good amount of time on the water. Over the years, I've learned I can catch them in the spring, and fall. For the most part, I don't even try winter or summer because when I have in the past, I've gotten zero bites.
Nice catch and fine pics! Your "lost giants" could very well have been stripers/hybrid stripers, which the lake has a fair population, and winter is a good time to fish for them.
