Title: Epic day big catch
Post by: madtrappa on Jan 25, 2024, 12:15 PM
Beautiful day. warm temps. not too much slushy bs. Chased flags all day again. 3 bows all in the 15 range, And this unexpected monstrosity of a pickeral. My PB at 27 inches and 5.15ozs. On a smelt in 8 ft of water. What a day!

Wow.... what a perfect day....

That is a great pic... long enough to be a state record, just didn't have the weight (which is surprising with the gut on it).

Pretty sure you have to use YouTube. Kind of a pain though.

#church…. Happened last couple yrs in row with a big fish within 2 weeks. Oh well. I wonder how old that thing was. Definitely not a big population of them where I was at. He was king in that place till yesterday lol.

That's more of a torpedo!

Gotta love when you get one in that size range (25"+).
The runs they make can be epic.

Great catch!
