[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 23252, member: 315"] I've caught quite a few big fish. My first big fish came from shore on the MN river in Feb fishing a small open section of water that wasn't froze. 30" weighing 9-4. Caught and released a 31" weighing 10.5 on tobin back in the early 90's. One year on Sak in Sept. when fishing was really poor over three weekends I caught four near identical fish pulling cranks deep. they were all 30" fish weighing right around 9 lbs. Once on the fourth of July the water was flat as could be. Fished all day and had nothing, not even a bite. Had mom and the kids out and it was hot as hell. about 5 pm I hooked what felt like a cement block. then it started to drift away so I knew it was a fish and figured it was a salmon. I was in 8' of water. Slowly inched it to the boat. I swam beside the boat for what seemed like an eternity. But it was just out of reach of the net. I had line on that I had used in Canada in the rocks for five days and new it was pretty knicked up. I finally decided I had to try and persuade it to the boat and soon as I put a little more pressure on it the line snapped at the top eyelet. fish just casually swam away. I'm guessing it was at least 32" and 12lbs plus. monster fish. [/QUOTE]
