Location: So. Illinois | Thanks to all on this board who have offered their advice over the last couple of years. I was able to boat my very first fish breaking the 50" mark this past week pre-fishing for the Gil Hamm Chapter Challenge on Leech Lake. What a thrill! Thanks to my wife for handling the net like a pro and fellow chapter members Steve Burian and Al Jannecke for their assistance in measuring, documenting and releasing the fish. What a wonderful experience.

Location: So. Illinois | Hi Jim, How have you been? Cheryl puts the Rapala extreme net men to shame. She was more excited than I was and was freaking out, not wanting to mess up the net job.

Location: Bloomington, MN | What a noggin on that critter!! Congrats. for capturing the big 5-O!! I've been attempting that mark for 35+ years, and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! If and/or when (my goal is 53"...yes I'm low balling it since Mille Lacs is 107 miles away) ever graces me with it's tail hitting the magic mark, I will then become one of the nations biggest consumers of lighted bobbers/leeches/tartar sauce! |
