TH that's amazing!!!! wish they were that big down here!
Plus if you ever get to check out a map of manitoba notice how big lake Winnipeg is it's pretty huge and a lot of cats spend a lot of time out there feeding and enjoying no fishing pressure out there they come in to the red to spawn.
JW do people keep a lot of cats around you? Not too many people keep them around here and the daily limit is 4 i think and anything over 24'' must go back or there is a big fine.
Hey Jw I like to think of the weather right now as training for ice fishihg I will be going out to a spot that has in the past been reliable for nice 14-16" walleyes from shore about this time of year with the outside shot at a BIG pike got a 37.5'' last fall there and three trips out there so far have only produced 2 little dink perch and some bullheads for me although my uncle that guy that is posing with the two cats had a big pike on long enough for it to make a huge run on the surface shaking it's head like crazy until it broke his 6lb mono.Man i hope i can pull a Slipbob and get a few eyes for the pan cause i'm craving fresh fish like you wouldn't beleive right now!!!
