[QUOTE="Mizzou21, post: 151879, member: 3243"] Just got back from 3 full days of fishing on the Big Windy. Averaged 50 fish per day. Big fish of the trip was a 31.5 inch that went 12.04 pounds, and of course caught by a total newbie!! LOL. Biggest fish I have ever seen come through the ice, and hell may be the biggest I will ever see. We managed 3 other 27's and 3 26's. Never got any other MA's this trip. Had a great time, and as always the people of Canada are fantastic to deal with.
