Location: Kawartha Lakes, Ontario | I haven't seen a 50 yet this year but fall is soon approaching. Last years biggest was 51" caught on a 10" Believer on shallow setting (6 feet deep) trolled over 18 feet of water on a rock shoal drop-off in November. Most of my big fish are caught in October and November in 14 to 25 feet of water with a shallow presentation (trolling shallow running cranks and jerks). |

I do not think John MD was giving personal stats, rather the stats as others had reported on the thread.
