I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
I would not plan around one specific fish at Rat Lake from the current record alone; before i planned around a specific fish, i would check the latest exact-water dnr information, and and leave the rest of the plan flexible.
If this were my day on Rat Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
