big fish, def not a 60 pounder like he suggests lol. Also you would think someone that regularly fishes there, has caught "a few 35-40 pounders" would know you don't handle an egg laden female vertically on a fricken boga grip out of season! [smilie=brickwall.gif]

Monster fish for sure. Not trying to be a jerk but isn't it technically illegal to bring the fish into the boat and take pictures of it when it is out of season? Or is that just an Ontario thing and how they take the wording "in possession".

I thought at one point that our regs stated that immediate release meant to take a quick picture, then return the fish into the water. It now states under the "common terms" section:

Catch-and-Immediate-Release: The act of returning fish immediately to the water without injury and without holding in livewell.
