Chuck, I wish I would of played him more, but it was kind of a windy day and I was worried that I hadn't hooked him very well, so, I just tried to get him in the boat as quickly as possible, which he didn't make easy. once he was in the boat, we realized that he wasn't going anywhere. that hook was in there good.
Interesting. How long was it?
This is a 42" 15 pound Northern from winter.
and a 43.5" 14 pounder from after spring spawn.
