easton13th Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Well. I debated posting this over and over. I caught this 35.5 inch pike, at the BOQ opener, it weighed in at 9.6lbs. WELL here is the mistake part. I did not register it in the derby.! Why ? You ask. I don't know. My father wanted to keep it and I did not expect it to come close to placing. Would have placed 4th in the pike division. It in the long and the short of it, cost me a Fish finder and a rod and reel combo. Aprox. value $800.00. I am still kicking my self. Easton When in doubt register the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) Nice fish! How did that tank taste? Sucks about the derby...and not to kick you while you're down...but your OFC tourney sign ain't legal either.... SORRY Easton...missed the paper under the fish as it's so light/bright you can't read it. All I saw was the big one above it and .com isn't on it.

Rizzo Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 No doubt register. I won a prize by placing 48th out of 500 plus in a simcoe ice fishing tourney by weighing in a dink perch. Guess my dink was bigger than everyone elses, but I've heard that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Man alive, that sucks! Sorry to hear about that Easton. I was out there too, I had a walleye in the livewell that probably woulda placed, maybe 7th and up, but my ol man wanted to wait till the end of fishing before weighing it. Well, it died in the livewell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) Lessons are best learned this way... We caught the illegal OFC sign when the pictures were being taken Irishfield... slipped that one in under his fish, on the back of a parking ticket... His sign is nice... and what the heck , why not help out the other teams just a little. Bad enough that pike didn't make the half hour live release test we couldn't have it not living on in a OFC tournament post. It was a nice catch none the less Easton, too bad the live well isn't big enough for fish like that!

Big Cliff Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 If you don't buy a ticket, you can't win! Oh well, next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
