well the story goes like this  i send the kid off to school me and granpa head out fishing  on st cathreine  we are setting up our tip ups we get 8 out when we get the first flag  :tipup: of the day  so i let the ole man get it while im setting up the tip up we were putting out  well i go over and the ole man is fighting a fish  so i get ready to help him land it   it comes into the hole and i land it for him nice fat 18 inch brown trout  so i unhook it and send it on its way well long story short we sit there rest of day till like 130 when we get three flags one after another but the fish just runs and spits the bait out on them so a freind shows up so i  ask him to watch my tip ups while i run home to get kid off the bus   so i go get son off bus  when i get back at  3:10 with son  they have not had another flag  so i go grab the power auger and go drill 9 new holes and move  the tip ups  well they wurnt in for a hour  when kid desides we should pick up and go home so i say ok but ill leave these tipups in while we pick other ones up  so we get other one picked up and were going to start picking up other ones when the ole man yells flag so the kid beats us to it i get there and it is just barely moveing so i pick up the tip up and told the boy to  grab the line  so he grabs the line and yanks it hard  and he says it feels small  well he fights this thing seems for ever but it gets to the hole and he sees the size of its head and says its huge so we are there coaching him on and got thinking we need the gaff so freind of ours runs over to shanty and grabs it by time he gets back the fishes head is comeing up the hole and he gaffs it and pulls it out of the hole my sons face just drops he was lack of words then looks at me and says now i set the mark for you all to beat lol and now i have a fish and the freezer waiting to go get mounted for him a speacial thanks to gould for letting me use his calera and for putting pictures up for us

What a fish!
I caught a pike while panfishing when I was ten. It was barely legal (28'' NH) and had it mounted cause it was the biggest fish I had ever caught. That pike far exceeds what I caught, I can onnly imagine the excitment of pulling that one out!! I think it's safe to say you have a fishing buddy for life!

That sounds about right Hunter, the one in this picture weighed 14 pounds.  I'll be with a big group as well, right in front of the weigh in.  Look for the little brown dog running around.
