I was hoping to head down to LSC to chase some muskys but due to the weather and my little 15 1/2 foot bass boat its seemed better to wait for another day and head up to the Kawarthas. Me and my good buddy white007 hit the water around 7pm and although it was nice on the water there were thunderstorms all around us. After working a rock reef we decided to use the drift to work a good looking shore line. For some reason my buddy didnt go for his go-to black and orange bucktail so I snapped it up. Five minuets later I see a flash of gill plate and the bucktail stopped moving, the fish goes nuts!!!! Im using a 7' shimano MH with a C3 that I thought was locked down and im getting line peeled like crazy, getting pulled all over, under and aroung the boat. Two minuets later of the best fight of my life and she's in the net and the bucktail flys out.
I made a brief attempt at a measurment but she wanted nothing to do with it. My guess is mid 40's. Quick pic and she's back in the water for the super pumped release pic.
