New PB Quinte Eye!

Headed down to Quinte to try and coax an elusive eye into biting, well we tried very hard and finally my rod doubles over and I have myself a new PB, the scale red between14.05 and 14.11lbs so I figure closer to the first either way a new PB. Hard to weigh with her moving around alot , measured just over 31in. with a massive girth of 17.5/8 in. This hog was huge and fat. I could not believe how fat this fish was, obviously gorging on baitfish. The pictures dont do it justice, I am not a small guy and this fish makes me look small.

When I got her in the boat my reef runner was sidways inside the massive mouth on her and the back hooks were not touching the other side of her mouth. And the teeth were the biggest I have seen on an eye to date. A beautiful fish and she is back to be caught another day.

Here are a few pics of her and a white bass and some pics from last week.

Sweet eye Badger :D and the first white bass I've seen... cool.

It is looking kind of cool down there now. Any ice on the ramp/dock yet?

Beautiful fish Don!
It looks good on you!
I had a good feeling when we spoke Tuesday night about your trip to BOQ on the next morning.
Wow!
Congradulations on the PB!
Thanks for the report

Congratulations on your new personal best Don - she is a beautiful fish, and one that I think you will be a looooong time in beating. I know the last time we talked on BOQ you were a little down, but this one proves if you stick-at-em, good things will happen. Have you considered having a replica made ?
