We went to Paynesville, Minnesota this summer (2007), and I love to fast troll for Northerns. I have caught some good fish in Lake Koronis near Paynesville, and this time I really had fun. This fish was caught with a #5 Mepps spinner, with a yellow and red middle, and a flashy silver spinner, and not a bucktail. I have used the bucktails in the past, but this time I did not have one and went to the local store and bought what they had on hand. This fish took about 7 to 10 minutes to get in the boat, and was really a blast to catch. I had just before thrown 2 others back in the lake that were in the 2 to 3 pound range. This one became a meal for my Father in Law's friend who loves to eat Northern. I don't care for the taste of them, but I do love to catch them. (my fishing store)
