Anybody else fish today, I hope I'm not the only shanty member.

Didn't even hear about it...any action? Maybe I'll swing out and show you what they look like tomarrow.

It's a 6 day tournament that's broken up over the next three months. The website is www.stillcoldopen.com and it catch and release for char and bows only. I would invite more people to come out but right now me and my partner have a 70 inch lead on everyone else so there is a lot of ground to make up. There is 5 days left and anything can happen. Oh and it's free to enter.

As usual, I missed out again. One of these days I'm going to have to quit working and catch up with you somewhere. Enjoy tourney!

Very nice I heard that Jim changed the date from the 16th to the 9th. I'm not on space book so if it wasn't for a friend I would have had no idea. He needs to update the website.

I am in it as well.... We ended up with 115" Team BentRod. Didnt have a fish on the ice until after 1 though so hopefully we can do some catching up on the 9th!

Nice I'm glad I'm not the only shanty member out there. Good luck next weekend.

Were you out there again today AKhardwater? how did you do?

Akhardwater · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 02:50 PM »

We did ok not as good as the first day, I think we only managed 93 inches. How did you guys do. The next tourney day should be good.

bighof · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 08:01 PM »

We did about the same as last time. 118" It was pretty rough going though. The fish were spaced out pretty much all day. We never really found anything consistent. Hopefully the 30th the bite is hot!

Akhardwater · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 30, 2016, 10:03 PM »

Day 3 in the books how'd everyone do. We landed 110 inches on the day hopefully it's enough to keep the lead.

Forrealyo11 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 31, 2016, 12:20 PM »

Just curious.... How many fish did it take to get to 110"?

Akhardwater · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 31, 2016, 12:26 PM »

5 all of them were over 20 inches and some change.

Forrealyo11 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 31, 2016, 12:50 PM »

Very nice! I need to get though more often.

Pikehunter44 · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 05, 2016, 06:09 PM »

Team reel deal here We are bringing up the rear with a fat goose egg but we did catch a few burbot🙄

We started on the third day and pretty much knew we were out of it but it gives us another reason to fish lol (like we needed one) see you guys tomorrow

bighof · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 05, 2016, 09:19 PM »

We're sitting 120" behind you guys now.... Feeling a 250" day coming tomorrow!!! Lol

thats funny I was feeling like a 300 day

Akhardwater · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 05, 2016, 10:46 PM »

Oh and actually your only about 100 inches out. Something wasn't adding up so I went back and checked our numbers and somewhere along the lines we got an extra 20 inches. I contacted Jim and we are going to get it straightened out tomorrow. No biggie I just want to be honest.

Pikehunter44 · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 06, 2016, 12:14 AM »

Lol. I just want to catch a fish other than a burbot lol

Akhardwater · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 01, 2016, 12:39 PM »

One day left to fish maybe. Does anybody have an ice report the shore ice was getting a little sketching hoping we will still be able to get on the lake.

jkw · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 04, 2016, 02:53 PM »

21lb 41" burbot caught on big lake any truth?

If it is true it would probably make it in the top ten. I think the largest recorded is a 24 lb. burbot out of Lake Louise. 21 lb. ain't that far behind.

Akhardwater · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 11, 2016, 02:19 AM »

They pulled a 22 pounder out of long lake earlier this year. I'm guessing if one that big came out of big lake it probably had two heads and doesn't qualify for the record books.

No way! 22 pounder out of Long Lake. That's a pig. Are we talking about mile 86 Long Lake?

Akhardwater · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 11, 2016, 02:48 PM »

Yup long lake on the Glenn, mike at three rivers weighed it on the scale there. I've heard of big burbot coming out of there in the past it is just extremely rare.

Akhardwater · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 14, 2016, 12:02 AM »

Well it's over and boy was it close it came down to 18 inches. Looking foreword to next year sounds like this thing might really take off and get some money involved. Hey bighof I'll trade you a first place custom rod for a second place fish finder.

iced · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 15, 2016, 08:42 PM »

Hay! Akhardwater I thought you were going to sell me that 1st place custom rod for a super deal?

Akhardwater · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 15, 2016, 09:00 PM »

I'll fish you for it.
