Very nice Matt! I know you probably hated to kill that fish but that's a pretty good reward you got for doing so. Couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving......

Congratulations Matt, that's a great fish. I'm having a slow year ice fishing, and you made me want to go fishing.

Congrats on a great togue! You should've took a picture of the togue gutted with made up stomach contents ie: remote control, rubber worms, beer can, etc. lol

Jigged up my PB togue today. Couldn't have been better timing as I took 1st in the Hancock County Derby. Headed for the wall once I graduate and have a little more $$$

i'm suprised you gutted it if your getting a mount done? great fish either way

Considering he is a broke college student, with a nice auger, tip ups, and sled

, I suspect a reproduction is in his future, not a skin mount.

Nice day on the ice! Nothing wrong with being broke, in college, and owning quality fishing gear, I'm in the same boat

Arent skin mounts pretty much a thing of the past now anyways? My local taxadermist does some outstanding reproduced fish mounts.

By the looks of that fish, I bet his stomach never stayed empty for very long.
Great fish and great catch. Congrats!!!!!

Is he hinting a birthday present MGK?

If he had been using the Blue Dolphin the fish would have been 20. He told me a Jitterbug so I went and ordered 3.

Whoops sorry Matt, didn't mean to let the cat out of the bag.

Not at all. His b-day present is a lunch wrapped in a road map. Time to move out and move on.

You laugh. My PB brookie was caught on a daredevil style spoon with a piece of green onion from salt and pepper chicken

It was a 5# brood stock in a local put and take. So it's no big feat. I'm hoping this weekend I get to try the new setup
