derby was excellent, run very efficiently as well...too bad i lost a tiger at the hole that was an absolute beast. let it run 3 different times after it got to the hole. the fourth time it got to the hole belly up and exhausted. my brother reached in to gill it and it got spooked and took off again but this time he rubbed along the bottom of the hole against the ice and frayed my line. so mad about it and it makes it worse that i fish there often and yesterday just happened to be derby day. (mulling over if i should get a small gaff) good looking pike took down first, weighed in at a little over 8 pounds. a pickeral that weighed over 4 pounds took down second, this thing was a beast.
flaggs, f shiner, king martin, good to meet you guys, looking forward to bare hill this weekend
