My scale actually broke that trip, no really it did! I caught a bunch of fish that day and it finally just kicked the bucket. It was a little over 39" so I guessed it in the 24-26lb range. I have my first 20 pounder on the wall off that same lake and it was 20.8lb at 36 1/2" so I think my estimate is close. I lost one that day at the boat that was bigger than that too probably in the 30ish pound area, would have been my biggest to date. It is super fun fishing them that time of the year (november) because they are in super shallow water (less than 15ft) which allows you to cast to them. Absolute riot!
I travel to fish about as much as my wife/pocket book will allow. I just read your report on Bear Lake and I have been wanting to get down there so it is killing me. Especially since I can't go on my yearly lake Powell trip next month I am itching to get my boat out somewhere.
I also would love to fish Willard at some point this year. It has been on my list for a few years but haven't found the time to do it. I love catching stripers in LP but I have never gotten a wiper before.
