Default competition

well I got reminded why I dont like competitions. 2.5 hours after close and Im looking down the hole. Im fishing about 3 fow today. see a submarine come up to my bait pretty much right under my feet. Mouth opens herring dissapears and Im regretting all the coffee I drank today since I started vibrating head to toe. what an awesome battle on the rod with lots of crazy runs. Finally managed to get her in the tent and unhooked and measured then back the fat girl went. Heck of a way to make up for the wind cancellation yesterday! one inch shorter than my pb so Im still hunting! oh yah 45 long 23 girth.

I hear you on the shaking. Me and 3 buddies were out for 2 days on a southern resvoir fishing in 2.5' to 5' and she came around both days, you could see her head in one hole and tail in the other. We nicknamed her pie plate because her snout was so round. All she would do is sniff the baits then move on

Id even be happy to see another in that range. People may think its untrue but once you see one you get converted pretty quick ! Then again I never thought Id catch a fish over 6 feet long in Alberta now if only pike got that big
