Location of Catch: Lake
of the woods, Ontario.

Bait Used:
Large orange and white spoon.
Breaking Strain Of Line: 6lb
Berkley Clear.
This fish was caught at about 7am in the rain with a large
orange and white spoon, took about 30 mins to get it in
the boat I had no net so I used a rubbermaid bucket to scoop
the monster which filled with water every time I tried so
I couldn’t lift it in the boat, did this about 5 times
or so before I finally got it in. I would have just grabbed
the thing but was afraid my light line would have snapped
if I tried to bend over and grab it. Needless to say this
was not just another fish story. |
