Guest Rockfish Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well boys and girls as Scotty would say, went out for dinner with a girlfriend in St. Cath. tonight and after decided to go to Gibson for a few casts. Didn't have my regular tackle and stuff with me or a camera but had stopped by Peter's Tackle earlier and got a few lures on sale. Met a guy named Dean at Gibson, yaked to him for a bit and first cast with this new lure, a perch coloured 3.5 " Berkley Frenzy Firestick and hook and land a close to 20 lb beast. Thanks to Dean (Pescatoro) for getting the net out of my trunk, which only the fish's head basically fit into and for using his throw away camera. Also thanks to knightfisher and boston for info on perserverance in fishing those spots. Will have pics tomm. when film is developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rockfish Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Longer than that Matt, I'm guessing 42 - 43 ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Nice going Dave....... .......nice to see a local musky being caught ! That "critter" sure could eat up a few racoons ! It looks like a 20# to me .......a quick measure could give a close guess . I was surprised it was dark when you caught it.........but I heard of musky being caught late in the Kawartha Lakes at night . Congrats buddy........hope your next one that big has dots on it !

Sirfishalot Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Now thats what I like to see out of local waters.way to go Rockfish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rockfish Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thanks guys, I should have at least measured her up with my rod or something but she/he is probably closer to 45" since I am 6 ft. tall, lol. The funny thing is I've been told there are bigger ones in there closer to 25 - 30 lbs. Caught it about 8:30 Smerch and I was just telling Dean that close to dark are some of the best times to get some big fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
