Right- I forgot about the skate. Was a brute, fun to bring up from 220 feet. That would be the biggest this year. Had amazing eyes that animal.

"Caught" this monster, or rather foul-hooked it in September at Police Lake. That aeration system is really paying off down there. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the fish of a lifetime

42 5/8 northern pike from the North Saskatchewan river, I didn't have a scale but I reckon it was at least 20LBS, could have sworn it was a sturgeon until I saw the dorsal fin break the surface.

And here I was always lead to believe that the bigger the hook you used the bigger the fish you would catch. Hmmm hafta rethink another thing.
