Members joefish Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 What is 45 inchs long and had a twistie tail jig tipped with a nite crawler for supper? Attached to 8 lb test line and took almost 2 hours to land? After some pics I released it and it swam off on its own power. I hope it made it. I was fishing for whites and maybe a walleye when it hit just before dark. I cant believe my line held up, especially towards the end. Probing the depths, driving lunkers from their homes!

Members buckdandy Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 Joefish, I knew you couldn't wait to put those pics up!! Glad I'm such a great photographer! Hope you don't mind if I give away the info! That fish was caught in NWMO at Lake Viking, by my masterangling brother Joefish! I had to rush to the scene and witness it for myself! What a catch! My buddies and I were almost as excited as Joefish! Not hardly! We tipped a beer and celebrated a grand catch, and always the conservationist he released it! I'm not sure I could have done it, I would have had to officially weight it and then have a party and eat the sucker! When he called me I was about to watch a movie, he said he'd call me when he landed it, 2 hours later no call, so I called him, he was still fighting it! 8 lb test no wonder, by the time I showed up on the scene he had landed it! Great Job Bro! Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebFreeman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Pretty cool. It's great that you got a pic, too. My luck would be no camera within 20 miles. “Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” — Henry David Thoreau Visit my web site @ webfreeman.com for information on freelance web design.

Members joefish Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 thanks guys. I got me this nifty little nikon 100 digital camera for xmas and I take it with me most of the time. Cant seem to get a pic of a turkey or any mushrooms or a walleye,though. I have to thank my sponser STREN and my brother for taking me to LongBranch Lake last weekend which forced me to put new line on my reels. Probing the depths, driving lunkers from their homes!
