Epic alright! Congrats! This is the year hey

Interesting thing at the AEP sessions last week. They talked about the Pigeon of old and the small whites. They classified them as "skinny and starving" whites back then. As it became a better walleye fishery through stocking and the pike population was healthy...still a ways back, sound like that is when the whitefish started to change and to begin being thinned out - getting bigger.

Anyone I talk to about the old Pigeon seemed to think that was better and healthy to have the little whites. Easy to catch, etc. The bios say different. Too bad the audio is silenced as I would like to continue that discussion.

Today is a different place for sure. Hopefully it has hit that sweet spot now and we are seeing the golden years of whites there. It is a special lake for whites.
