White Pine Lake is supposedly not known for trophy Bluegills, but I guess what people don't know won't hurt them. ;-) In July 1996 when this photo was taken, some friends and I caught several huge Bluegills here ranging from 8-1/2 inches long to my prize catch of 11 inches long. That beauty weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz. - pretty darned close to the Minnesota state record at the time of 2 lbs. 13 oz. :-) Click HERE to see a picture of it. Wanna know the spot where we caught them? Hmmmm... now why would I tell you that? ;-)
This is a pretty little lake located a few miles off of the Caribou Trail coming out of Lutsen. There is a "three holer" free National Forest campground and a halfway decent public boat launch on the lake, and not a whole lot else. We skinny dipped here, too... what more can I say. ;-)
