What a pig, great job. I heard of a 9 pound pig coming out of a certain lake. Guess it was true.

You mean an IFGA record for 4 lb test? I don't think states keep fish/line records do they?

Yep...it was definitely his moment....fishing for perch in a lake with no known walleye, hooks a 9.25lb eye on a perch rod with a 25 yr old 'old school' reel with no drag spooled with 4 lb florocarbon line and lands the fish thru the ice. Could not have happened to a better kid!! Now dad has to pony up the $$$$ for a mount!!!

Congrats spring bobber! Thats one memory that you'll never forget. I wish I could have been there but that's the way it goes. I can't wait to see it on your wall. That pole would look good next to the mount if you could incorporate it somehow. It couldn't have happened to a better kid. Congrats again! You have one hell of a fisherman as a son Wax!!

Very nice fish, and a great story right up until the whiteout the background part. I may catch hell for it, but even if I give a gps coordinate, you still gotta catch the fish. I believe in the share the info thing, where when and what color. Not that I,m asking, but I dont get helping other people with info. I,m just a jack that way... I believe its helped me catch fish when no others can at times, Karma. No malice intend brother, great fish and story, congrats

High Tide · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 16, 2011, 04:59 PM »

Pay it forward to those who deserve it, not to the world wide web. Don't matter were you caught it, it's a trophy... Congrats!
