The largest Lake Trout ever recorded
People love fishing in special places, but particularly when there is an opportunity to hook into a world record pike or lake trout. One of those special places would be Lake Athabasca, which is located in the northwest corner of Saskatchewan, and the northeast corner of Alberta, Canada. Lake Athabasca is actually the 9th largest lake in North America, and covers an impressive 3,030 sq miles. The lake is 176 mi long, has a maximum width of 31 mi, and is over 400’ deep in some areas, making it the largest and deepest lake in both Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the eighth largest in Canada.
Lake Athabasca also has a reputation for having some of the largest freshwater fish on the planet. The largest Lake Trout ever recorded was caught here, and it weighed in at a remarkable 102 pounds! The Canadian record for Northern Pike was also caught here weighing in at 42 pounds.
