Jeezus man. You should ditch the whitefish and seal the deal with the brookies.
I beleive the deal has beem sealed on the brookies he has the prov rec from maligne i belive or the number 2, malinge also has prov rec for rainbows too ... quite the fishery. Nice pics as always well done
That brookie record from the nipigon is an ancient record with lots of mystique and doubt attached to it. I would think labrador or somewhere where they can access the sea would be where the world record would come from..... ? I know alot of easterners would be some ticked off if the record was beat out west lol.

There is a replica mount of it in the MNR office in Nipigon. It’s huge!!
That big fish is bugging me---hope you don't mind my asking but how many pounds does it weigh?
I've caught my share of Brookies in Ontario and New Brunswick but I've never caught one anywhere near this guy. Congrats
The fish is big for a brookie no question. But with the stretch arm photo looks far larger than it is. Compare the size of his fingers. Few pounds perhaps.
