Just got word that my buddy up in Traverse City caught an 8 lb smallie thru the ice on Skegmog last sunday. 8 lbs 24 inches long Come on fall dk open ::) ::) ::)
I plan on catching one of those on opening day! :o
At least thats what makes me get through the day at work! ::)
Picture?!? Make sure you get pictures!!
No pic, for some reason he dosen't carry a camera with him. All I can go by is what he told us.
Figured on that one stack. Guys always seem to catch the bass of a lifetime when they are unprepared.
But wanted to remind others - GET PICTURES (and send copies to me!!).
My grandpa always told me "believe half of what you see and nothing that you hear". I guess that pertained to fish stories, because he was always jealous of the fish I caught! ;D
I always tell people at any seminars I do that I'm the only fisherman in the world who does not lie. Easier to tell the truth and no one will believe me anyway!
No Dan there are at least two of us.
I carry my cell with me and in a pinch use the camera on it.
Maybe we should start a club?
In conclusion......without proper documentation of the event, in this case a picture requested by DJ himself, the event might as well never took place and we therefore we must classify this as what is commonly refered to as a........"wise tale". :D Not an "old wise tale" as Stack does have a new knee which gives him parts younger than me. ;)
I caught a 9 lb smallie once. I didn't have my camera, but I did draw a picture of it with one of those wax pencils you get with a culling kit. My drawing definitely didn't do the fish justice.

That is funny! I just learned a valuable lesson. Don't try to read posts on this site while trying to drink your beverage of choice. The computer screen gets more than you do. Just saying. Where's my towel?
Beverage of choice...Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Support Michigan's finest.
ain't never lost a fish that wasn't over 6lbs, sure there was an 8lb'r or two mixed in there somewhere, believe me ya should'a seen the one that got away.
