Ive hooked up on 2 lakers. Both from shore, using a 6' ugly stick spooled with 15lb braid.
One got away and i landed the second.

The one that got away hit on a 1/2 or 5/8 oz rainbow trout colored kastmaster in about 4 feet of water

The one that didnt get away hit a green/silver 3/4 oz kastmaster, again, not in a whole hell of a lot of water
