Default More Cowbell!

That's a great fish! Thanks for posting it.
A friendly suggestion that you can take or leave at your discretion . Less is better when it comes to terminal tackle. You will catch a lot more of those beauties with just a simple snap on the end of your leader. Swivels should be reserved for lures that spin. Everything else gets a strong snap only.

Those ones are so much fun to catch. My sons have a couple each, and the excitement when you are bringing one aboard is what keeps them going after another. I still pretend some "disdain", though - "hammer-handles" - they have yet to match Dad's 117cm.

Mudslide - nope I take all advice's and tips anyway I can =) If it wasn't for this forum/site, my fishing experience would be horrible and very painfully frustrating lol

I got such good advice from so many people here, i cant even begin.

WayneCristie and SturgeonHound for helping me rig up my sturgeon setup.... still waiting on my first dino.

BGSH - for helping me with my first walleye on the NSR, hell he even sent me his # to text him for advice

CanadianBadAss for lots of tips here and there, still waiting for him to leak out his dino honey hole lol jk

many more and plus all the questions and responses on the threads itself definitely helped me in choosing the right tackle for fish and which lake is hot.

so I do appreciate the tips as they come. Thanks!
