Location: Toronto, Ontario | Yeah, lucky man.....ironic thing is that I had just fished the Bay with limited success for the week and left with my family on the morning of the day that he caught it. He was out for a cruise with his girlfriend and her friend but stopped to quickly fish one of his "spots". Timing is everything!!!!

Location: Uxbridge Ontario | Georgian Bay and all its Delta systems is amazing, but sure can be tough at times. I love the French....
You have better side profile of that fish? Awesome catch for sure. |
