    WOW is right. What a fish. That one would sure be alot of fun on a light action rod or an ice fishing rod.
    Thanks, Bill

    Can you tell us anything about the fish? Length? width? girth? weight?

    Nice Bull

    It looks a lot like the 2-2 that I had a repo made of
    it was 13.25in long and came from Big Sauk lake near Sauk Center
    we caught two that day a 2-2 and a 2-1 and a bunch between
    11 and 12.75in. ALL WERE RELEASED ALIVE
    I hope that we can find them next year

    I have caught a lot of fish over the last 62 years but I have never SEEN a gill like that. That’s one for the ages.
    Congrats!!!

    I have seen 2 in my short life so far.
    They are really impressive when you get to see one up close.

    Scott Steil is on gills like that in SD. He has a report on the “Reports” forum. Last year he had some absolute brutes! I am sure he will again this year.

    Can you imagine hooking that thing with an ice rod?

    From the looks of the guys clothes, the fireplace and the colors of the fish. I would say fall or winter?
