I don't often catch fish big enough to have trouble, but last year I did get my best trout (27") in a 6" hole and I needed help, and luckily a friend was with me to help guide the fishes head up and out the hole, but like Macman said you need to fight them out a little so they don't break off as your trying to get the head started up the hole... This is one reason I'm going to use the 8" auger a little more this year... you never know when you'll find that better fish and even though the 6" drills easier, it can be tough to land a big fish through it... That one last year came out like a cork from a bottle, it was hitting on both sides and had to squish through the hole. Fun times, can't wait to get after them... Later J
