Wow I wish I would have had a spear cam today, saw 13 fish in 3 hrs, most were in the 30 inch range, speared two a 28 and a 26, passed on a couple that were larger but not quite mountable, the yellow and red decoy I bought this morning was worth every penny!

awesome. Congrats on the fish. How deep of water were you in? Did you use Live decoy as well, and photos?

We were in 9 feet of water since the lake I'm on up here in Duluth is pretty murky, we put down a big live decoy minnow but that didn't seem to attract any fish so I put down the new yellow and red decoy I bought, it was straight action after that, I remember at one point going I don't know how a northern could say no to that action, I didn't even have the words out of my mouth before one came flying into the hole and smashed the decoy, once i get my camera back I'll throw up some pics!

Northspear there's a couple good lakes up in this neck of the woods. Right now the travel is absolutely terrible so unless you have a sled its pretty tough to get around. Grand and Fish are the two best for numbers and decent size. I'm still trying to get brave enough to try Pike Lake, its 60 ft deep, crystal clear, and a big bowl, but man do the dnr surveys look promising

Did you see the hog on the front page of the outdoor news today? Must eat really well to be 33 lbs at 45 inches

I think that fish was from the Brainerd area and if it is there was a 26lber that was taken one or two days before that one. I met the guy that is the uncle of the guy that got that fish if its the same fish.

A 33lb. metro fish!

A healthy diet of rainbows can do that to a fish.

      And eat!  Turkey, noodle, wild rice!   Darn good for first run ever! 😋

      I have not eaten one, they are protected generally here in the states and Canada although there have been special seasons for population control but I don't think it was harvested for meat. I've hunted in countries where they are not protected and was with someone who shot one, I didn't eat it but it just stunk after I picked it up.

      Do you guys eat cormorant?  Even Indians call them fisheaters, and they don't eat fisheaters! 🤮

      Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. We had ours yesterday because our RN daughter in law had to work today.  So I'm trying my hand first time ever at turkey stock for soup later! 😋

      Yes! Enjoy your turkey day everyone!

      Happy Thanksgiving everyone.   The ice is coming.  Eager to get out. Dug out my old strikemaster Thursday and got it ready. Smokes like  a chimney at times, but can't justify buying a new one when the old still works good.

      They definitely are stinky birds, the cormorant that is. The Sandhills don't really smell. When you clean them it smells more like venison than waterfowl. We figured he wouldn't pick it up since they must smell similar to chickens and my buddy has trained the Chesapeake to not go after their chickens at home

      Many years ago it was legal to shoot cormorants.  My Grandfather at the time also had a chesapeake bay retriever and he said that dog would retrieve anything in the worst conditions.   One time he told me he shot a cormorant.  The dog swam out out there and refused to pick it up.  Apparently because they are so nasty, stinky, and greasy.   He said its the only bird that dog would not retrieve in 11 years.
