steverowbotham Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Got out today on Canadian Thanksgiving Monday. Very cold morning at -2C (28F) when we launched, but it warmed up nicely throughout the day. The day was a grind overall, but landed a dozen good fish including this giant. My biggest so far this season at 7 1/4 25 Quote

Got her in about 28 feet of water on a rock ledge that drops into 40 or so feet. Casting a swimbait on a 7'6M rod and 15lbs fluoro. She ate about half way back and you know when you set the hook its a good one. Only jumped once but dogged pretty good. You dont realize until they're in the net, how big they are. 2 Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted October 20, 2016 Super User Posted October 20, 2016 Wow. Did I saw Wow? For all intent and purposes, Wow. That's special, and to be caught on a black Jitterbug in 60 feet of water.....it's even more impressive. Happy Thanksgiving !! Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Awesome. So if that is your biggest of the year, I gotta ask, what the heck is your PB smallie? Quote
Will Wetline Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 That's bigger than the dreams of most smallie guys. Congratulations! Quote
pawpaw Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 WOW!!! We don't grow them like that down here. Quote
