Thank you! It was actually two trout. My husband actually trimmed a bunch of fat. They recommend not eating bigger than 25 inches.

Lake trout apparently live a really long time. If you eat the bigger ones, they are older and have absorbed more harmful stuff from the water. A lot of that stuff is also stored in fat, so it’s good to trim it.
