Bless those Yankee Fisherman's hearts. But you can tell they don't know a platinum mine from a salt fish.
I once caught a 110 pound Muskie off a dock. It was sunning itself upside down in the water. I thought it was dead, so I hauled it out by the gills. I am 6 feet tall, and when the head of the fish was at my head, the tail was still in the water. I flopped the fish out onto the dock and it came alive. Some fellows saw this giant fish flopping about on the dock and came down from the restaurant above and beat the fish to death with baseball bats. For a while it was an even battle.
When I caught a 36 pound Muskie in the same Lake, we threw it back as for the fish there, it was considered a baby. All the pike were 4 feet or more in length. The Ounaniche ran 5 pounds to 12 pounds and the rare pickerel were about 5 pounds. Lake trout ran to 60 pounds. In a nearby lake a pickerel ran 25 pounds. Brook trout were small but plentiful and very good tasting.
I have fished every good fish Lake in Canada. Some you catch a fish with every cast. Catch your limit in Pickerel and pike in the first half hour. For 2000 dollars I will fly groups into these lakes, if all expenses are paid.
