Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Was thinking back to a summer trip in Canada a long time ago. We found a spot we'd never fished before and first cast, out comes a fish kind of lazy like, maybe 34" max, about six feet behind the lure. Well, we kept casting and he kept following. After about eight or nine follows on consecutive casts it disappeared for about three casts and then right back to following again. I'd bet between the three of us, using about six or seven different lures, we had that fish to the boat at least 16 times. It never was more agressive, or less, it just seemed curious as to what the heck was going on in his secret spot. We came back later and caught a bigger fish in the same spot but our little buddy was no where to be seen. That was fun! |

Location: brooklyn park mn | Up on eagle lake canada and we were chasing a 50 inch class fish from a rock wall that followed out 11 times. 10 different baits. Was exciting to see how she reacted to each different bait. Havanna jackpot almost convinced her out of all of them but don't think she was hungry. Creeper with tail and 10 inch jake close second. Just wanted to tease us lol.. some baits she would be 3 feet behind while others right up on them. Ran out of light/sunset. Bet I could pinged her if was able to fish after it got dark. |

| 13 times over a period of three days, all different times of the day. Wider than my shoes. Had her up on double 10's, double 8's, a Depth Raider, and a Weagle. Best shot I had was the Weagle, but she wouldn't open her mouth. Just kept swimming up and bumping it with her nose when the bait turned sideways. Slow, fast, deep, shallow, didn't matter. All she wanted to do was look... Moatsy got a 54" in the same spot a few days later. Same fish? Who knows... |

Location: Maplewood, MN | I had a 36"-38" fish follow me and a buddy about 8 times to the boat on 4 different lures. She would come in and go around on the 8 numerous times and then sink away, then reappear. Entertaining to watch, frustrating too. |

| Kly had this one come out from the same tree a couple times a day at the 2003MF Sab Bay outing. I think he caught it on that same TM Tail about the 4th day. 24-26 incher!
I sure miss that kid.
