Very Nice
Only fish left on my bucket list also. I have caught 10lb+ Walleye and Lakers 25lb+ Pike so know what they feel like.

I have hooked a couple Most notably the first was on our first ever Canadian fishing trip after emigrating in March 1969.
Dad bought a 1966 Ford Fairlane S/W got his fishing License and Family went to where the Whitemud enters into the NSR totally new to fishing in Canada we were using our UK gear 9 foot split Bamboo spinning rod with 5lb test line Hooked up and we chased it down the bank got a good look at it as it rolled before it broke off.

Three more in the past years that were never seen but that huge power run then gone lol Last hook up that felt like one was on the Pembina where it runs into the Athabasca 2015 Only rumors that they are in that watershed it Sure felt the same power wise def not a pike or big Walleye. Had an otter grab a good size well hooked Grayling that was very similar till the hook pulled out lol
