Here is Ashley's. I still wish we weighted it. I got one the very next day with a client that wanted it weighed, it was 18 and I immediately wished we had weighed Ashley's as it was significantly larger. I guess we will never really know. Lol. That's kinda half the fun. I've caught a few over over 19 lbs, but none that I've weighted over 20. Although I'm pretty confident Ashley's was well over 20. I'd bet in the 22/23 lb range, but again we will never know. Makes for a good fish story.

There are a lot of those down there. This was shot near Sherman's point a couple years ago ice fishing, saw a similar school last year, just not as big.

Skip ahead to around the 1:00 minute mark.
