Re: I had a huge... Something!

I'd vote on sturgeon as well. I just hooked into a 4' sturgeon last weekend on 30lbs braid... we went back and forth for nearly an hour and when i finally got him to shore and realized my net wouldnt work I had to think fast.

Count to 2 and set the hook like its going out of style. You want to make sure they take the frog down first. The pressure of the weed cover will help the hook set.

Re: Rough fishing ottawa

Re: by far my biggest

Great catch man. Caught my PB 7lbs and 2 years ago and still trying to top it. Big fish out in this area.
