darsky Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 oh the suspense.So what was it and how big??
Terry Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 I didn't think it was my place to say so I will wait for her to post about it I thought I would just get people prepared for the cooks bay monster
Mike the Pike Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Dam Terry your such a tease I can't wait .......................
Canuck2fan Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 While your waiting for her post it might not hurt to go look in the camera manual on how to delete pics to free up some space on the camera.... LOL
Terry Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 it took so long to bring in the fish, I broke the record into a few files, but I had to delete twice so I could get the fish coming up the hole, but the card filled up for a third time and as I was deleting some files she had the fish's head out of the hole so I was SOL, then we used her camera to take all the pictures so we wait till she post about it
Cookslav Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 mmmm...what could it be? 20 minute fight on 4 lb test through the Ice....must be a biggun!
Joey Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Well, what a fantastic start to the New Year for fishing As Terry said, she was a brute and our 25 lb scale bottomed out so we aren't really sure how much she ways. Probably close to 30 lbs I'm sure. We had a hard time getting her through the hole, but finally she must have exhaled some air and out she came, like Lady Simcoe giving birth Here she is. What a thrill. Thanks for the video Terry and the company. A pleasure as always. Joey
Cookslav Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Oh my!!! That fit through the hole LOL!!! Giving birth is about as Acurate as you could get in describing that scenario I'm sure Edited January 1, 2008 by Cookslav
lew Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 WOW !! Your PB musky in November to finish of 2007 and now that brute to start off 2008 Your definetely on fire, Kiddo !!
OhioFisherman Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Simcoe smallies look a little strange!
Shelley Cooper Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 WTG Joey... A real NICE start to the 2008 fishing year.... Happy New Year....
Terry Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 Joey, I think you really might have a line class record this is what I found Carp, common 02 kg (4 lb) 11.79 kg (26 lb 0 oz) Merrimack River October 8, 2000 Jonathan R. Yates yours is bigger
Joey Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Cool, so how do I get it officially weighed? I stood on the scale at home and then on the scale with the fish (Paul did it also) and it was 28.4 lbs. both times. And for those asking, it did not live long after being caught. It was a long fight and coming through the hole was a bit much for it I think. Paul's has a co-worker who loves carp so he will be eating it. I should get it weighed first tho I think. Joey
ccmtcanada Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Wow Joey!!! That's one huge fish to bring through the ice!! Congrats on the PB!!
Canuck2fan Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 it took so long to bring in the fish, I broke the record into a few files, but I had to delete twice so I could get the fish coming up the hole, but the card filled up for a third time and as I was deleting some files she had the fish's head out of the hole so I was SOL, then we used her camera to take all the picturesso we wait till she post about it I was joking of course and I sympathize. Hard to know how long landing a monster like that will take.
Beats Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Must have gotten a lot of awkward stares from people seeing you leave the lake with a carp. Take it to a Canada Post office and get it weighed there. As far as I know it must be weighed on a government scale.
Canuck2fan Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Cool, so how do I get it officially weighed?

Joey I'm not sure how you get it weighed officially but keep in mind to get a line size record your line has to be tested too. It must break within a certain weight too. Here is a set of rules by the ofah http://www.ofah.org/GetPDF.cfm?ID=Fish/RecdFish.pdf
addict Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 that is one huge ugly perch lol.good job thanks for the pics.
OhioFisherman Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 LOL snagged it? It wouldn`t have possibly eaten the Perch on purpose, they don`t eat meat. LOL
Joey Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 LOL snagged it? It wouldn`t have possibly eaten the Perch on purpose, they don`t eat meat. LOL Hahahaha, I wasn't using the perch for bait, LOL. I was using a flashy lure with a minnow, and it was caught by the lips. The perch was a comparison shot Joey
steve_paul Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Congrats, Joey. Great start for you in 2008
PatrickGG Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Awesome catch Joey, must have been on good fight for 4 pound test on a ice rod, Congrats thats a line record for sure.
