There's a CO that patrols that area well, he's stopped me the last 2 yrs. in a row. You could've called with an anonymous tip and described his boat and told them to check his limit in the boat and at camp... and that he had been bragging about what he was doing... simple!

Did they call it a Hayabusa rig douG? They have a 2 hook rig inthe Hayabusa style (bottom of the list) http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true

4 baited, 6 unbaited

...yeah! ... like yer the only one!!!

Tell your friend not to speed and he won't have to worry about this kind of stuff.

Great report and pics Rich!!! A little current always multiplies the fight in a fish, and those are some healthy/strong looking fish!!!

It's not just you, those are some 14 & 15" 2lb+ Crappies. I fish with lures too, but I always use live bait on the Sabiki Rigs... it's just too dang hard for those fish to resist a small school of wounded minnows!

Great report and pics Stinker!!!

You're welcome WB! ... just remember the hooks are light wire, so set the drag on your reel accordingly.

It is? Everything looks perfectly normal to me.

I buy them premade from Cabelas or Basspro online: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true They're made in Japan and they really have then down to a science! The hook, jig head, and the line are fused together, and I've never had a dropper knot/mainline fail.

I'd have one on the tip-up and one on the jigging rod thru the ice, you can get away with a 1/2 oz weight with no wind and current.

Excellent report and pics TJ!!! That is a Killer Perch!!!

I sounds like y'all had a little too much in common to get along to me Ger. ... sorry Bubba!... couldn't help myself! ... but no, I don't think what he was doing was legal or ethical. Catching you families limit isn't exactly ethical... but probably legal. However! When he caught his last family members last fish and then continued to fish, he was over his possesion limit until he gave those fish away. Had he been caught with that "extra" limit of fish...

I caught this Perch on one at the BOQ last year: Baited with live minnows: ... and fished straight down, dropshot style in about 20 fow... they're deadly! You never know what you're going to pull up next when you're fishin' with one of those things.

Let me see if I can dig you up a pic Rich... may take a few minutes.... Ok, this is an illustration Only 4 hok rigs are legal in Ontario if you bait them. I use a 1-2 oz. bottom bouncer or rattle weight instead of a pyramid sinker. This is the actual size of the #6 light wire hook: That tiny hook (or one just like it) has pulled in these and many more fish:

Great report and pics!!! You're flirting with disaster "bare handing" those Catfish don'tcha yanno!

Shouldn't he have had to throw him back since he was SNAGGED instead of hooked INSIDE the mouth??? Seriously though, I hope the man was grateful for his rescue.

Could it be your Zoom setting? or maybe you've locked it on the 50' scale by mistake? Another thing that came to mind is you transducer angle, check your puck to see if it's "level" when you're in the boat.
