nice fish man, I got a 40in last year but it was probably 9lbs and dying.

I think the growing muskie population has a big impact on the pike. the Rideau river has been impacted greatly by muskie

Ya I got to head up that way in the fall for a 50plus Incher. Not many Musky in this section of the Ottawa, but when you do see them there big.

Nice Fish, looks like a familiar spot. I was not able to get any big ones out of there this year. Nothing over 8lbs, glad to see someone was catching some big ones in there.
All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you.
