lake st.clare , harsens isle , 1987 . 43 lbs. and get this , i was bass fishing trolling a crawler with a hot pink blade !
a pearch took my rig and i was reeling it in when this sudden jolt bent my rod over and started to peel the line off ! it took some time getting it in and longer getting him in the boat safley . my friend kim took pics of the fish and we let it go , we wern't sure of the season on it and figured we better play it safe .
bad part of the trip was learning it would have been o.k. to keep it and we left the camera in the boat (rental ) .
but what a great time we had that day .
we have quite a few lakes that have tigers up here , we have one lake the d.n.r. has been planting in for a few years now . last year at ross lake a guy pulled in a 42 pounder in ross lake ice fishing .
