| Are you sure that is 57" inches?? Doesn't look like it. It looks like it could be 57.5" to me.
Awesome experience. Awesome fish. Thanks for sharing your "Catch of 1,000 lifetimes"!

Location: Southern Ontario, Detroit River and Lake StClair | Thats one heck of a fish. You look pretty young so you will have a long time to try and top it. I did my biggest fish (55") when I was about your age and have been trying to top it for over 20yrs.......I'm still at it and it's what gives me the drive to get out there on the worst days and fish. You'll remember that day and the smallest details of it for the rest of your life. Congradulations 100 times over.
Good Fishin'
Tim

While this is still fresh on your (and our) mind, can you tell us the exact time that this fish was caught?? I'm wondering if she bit during a major solunar event. Just curious.
Congrats again!
