Stawberry 1/16

[Jig-fisher]

Met up with Catchinon and went up to the Berry this morning.  Craig was a trooper as I marched him half way across the lake to the supposed big fish grounds.  The fishing was really slow with not many fish marked and only a few caught.  I did catch a 16" bow as well as 8 or so slot cutts.

The bright spot was this slot buster.  When we would measure it, it was just short of 23".  But each of the pictures taken for the contest show 23".  No matter, it was big, fat and beautifully colored.  It pulled like a champ taking drag a couple of times.

Thanks for going with me Craig and hopefully the catching will be better next time.
