I just want to start by saying how georgous it was today on the ice and I hope we get a few more days like this. My buddy and i fished out at the Hillbilly Hotel today with Big Ben, Wildvermontfisherwoman, woodyVT, fishercat and a few other friends. My buddy and I could only fish today so we chose not to buy into the Rozzi's derby.................
...............Big mistake! It was a pretty slow day and around 2:00 my buddy had a flag pop and after he played it for a few minutes i heard "Get the Gaff!!". He landed this beautiful 37" 13.90lb fish, his personal best. It's now on it's way to the taxidermist,also heard of a 16lb northern coming off of the sandbar today.
