My son hooked a walleye up by Perch Ripple and a huge muskie grabbed it, wouldn't let go. 10 minutes later ,it ripped a 22"-24" walleye in half and was gone! All we seen was a huge flash.
I don't know about that! Pigeon has her share of monsters, here's a few. I have many more, some bigger than these. There are many fish in the mid 50"'s in Pigeon.
That sucks! Stay away from the small cheap companies. This is what can happen and they won't be there for support nor warranty in the future. You don't have to overpay but don't expect a quality product for nothing.
