Great show on the lakers. Those are a couple of dandy northerns as well, looking forward to that show. Congrats Jeff.
Too bad about the verticle hold on those pike though, big fish like those aren't designed to support their weight like that and it really impacts their chance of survival after release. Saw the same thing on a St. Clair muskie show that Leo, Ron and Nik did and every fish was the same verticle hold. After I saw the show I sent them an e-mail about it and a link to the muskies Canada website that demonstrates how to properly hold the fish and support its spinal structure. Got a reply from someone else that they would pass the e-mail along to the guys. I guess they didn't get the message.
Anyway great job displaying the awesome multispecies fishery we have around here, keep up the good work Jeff. Hopefully the guys will pick up some good habits from you regarding catch and release.
