[QUOTE="remm, post: 76406, member: 821"] This seems to be my luck as well. I've been going between 3-5 times a year for about the past 12-13 years (yep, that was even before 95% of the americans knew where this place was) and still haven't gotten one over 28''. I've had huge marks show up and buckle my rod over and not move of the bottom, only to unbuckle after a few cranks multiple times. I've gotten a bunch of 6-8lbers with countless under that, but still looking for a true giant. A local canadian guy I go with manages to catch a giant every couple times we are out, seen him catch 2 30+"ers one day while sleeping in the truck and hanging the rod out of the window. Every huge fish I've ever seen caught there has been on a 1/4oz or 3/8oz leadhead jig with a salted minnow. I've tried every kind of lure you can think of and he just laughs at me and continues to catch pigs on a goddam leadhead. Oh well, been there once this year already, most likely will be back a couple more times in March to try again. On another note, I have heard from a few people up there that the manitoba DNR (or whatever they call it there) has been saying that between the commercial fishing and natives netting fish, the population is starting to show a decline and there may only have a few years left of really good fishing before there's a downswing.
