Sounds just great, Bruce. Fights like that are nor a normal 'thing' in NA, except for some steelies.

We do have a lake up here that used to produce up to 13 pound bows, but not any more.

What a trip indeed. I've sent some notes to guys in my group along with your pictures and the internet link above, asking if they are interested in this 'jaunt'.

Kinda gets the blood pounding, it does.
