First of all, great event and lots of FHers out on the Ice. Beautiful day! I am now have an exposure (cold/sun) burn and because I wore a balaclava, my wife thinks it looks like someone spray-painted a red circle on my face
Despite the fact that this was a Pike derby (due to the walleye slot in effect), my fishing partner (scarkner) managed to amuse him self by harassing (and filming) a pile of perch!
I had one fish on. Big Pike that based on the fight (multiple runs) could have challenged the leaderboard (always hard top tell a Pikes size) that got off as the top of my Jackfish rig was clearing the Ice. My scream is still echoing off the Gatineau hills!!!!
Later as we all converged for the results, FH regulars, otownyaker and choke (sorry for swearing at you!) proceeded to tell us how they were tossing back pike all day.
Great event, great day, but I will be thinking about that particular lost fish for a long time!

Re: Constance Bay Derby!
Yes I am extremely bitter so I will point out that the winning fish was just under 7Lbs... A teeny bit bigger than yours!
But thumbs up on the Cabelas card!

Re: Constance Bay Derby!
It was a fun one for sure, even driving on and off the ice was fun.
Great job by the organizers, bait, launch, lunch, and prizes.
Tried a new area with a small group, landed 8-9 pike ( myself ), biggest was 4.1 lbs. It was in second at 12:30 pm when registered.
Got bumped, as usual. Ist was 6.9 lbs, 2nd..5.1, and 3rd 4.9. Won the 50/50, 4years ago.

Re: Constance Bay Derby!
Hey was that all you FHers out there yesterday? I thought there was more than the usual number of hole drillers around. lol
We were fishing another 200 yards out from your hot dog/chili/chips hut all day.
Caught perch, small pike and an overslot walleye. All released, except the perch.
Had I known it was youze I woulda said hello. Next year.
