Knowing the Canadian area that the big ones usually come from, I'm a little surprised you didn't head there because of the boat waves. I've fished about 30 derbys there, and 17 would have been a decent bag 25 years ago. ... takes 25 now! I would love to give you an area to try, but not sure of the info rules for the opens.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

We are under a no- info period now.

[@CaseyWWelch]

You can DM him wink wink. Typically, if he doesn't ask for the info and you say something, he can use it.

[@CaseyWWelch]

If he doesn't solicit the info, it should be fair to use.

Good luck my friend!

I tell my kids never reel a fish farther than the length of your rod. That advice was for my benefit while unhooking their fish😂

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

I need this advice it seems! LOL

Good luck

Paddy Kavanagh an Irish poet who moved from the rural countryside to Dublin once, said that you have to make a village out of the city.

Lay them in the carpet first have fun in Canada 👍

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

But experts advise us not to let them flop around on boat carpeting to avoid their slime coating from wearing off.

Hopefully you didn’t experience an interarticular contamination of your finger joint. Watch it carefully, that is a very precarious location compared to the average hook embedding.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

It healed quickly and nicely. Thank you for the caution.
