That’s a thing of the past around here. I’ve heard stories of that size fish in the 60’s & 70’s but now the average for the big girls is 60lbs or so.
I have never seen one that big in person.
My PB is 47lbs and that was 25 years ago.
I thought this would fit well in the Random section. We have a lot of strippers that over winter but this is the nicest one I have ever seen.
25lbs and 41” through the ice. Crazy
Haven’t seen that yet but sounds fun. No Pun intended.
Someone put big wedges of blue cheese on my buddy’s exhaust manifolds while he was getting married. He said it smelled absolutely awful a mile down the road. No one has confused to this day. That was 40+ years ago but there is still time...
I had a 80 Toyota pickup I only needed the clutch for 1st gear. The rest slid right in. Had 250k on it and still ran like new. And I could load the bed with bricks and it hardly knew they were there.
Now days in the new stuff a half load of firewood and your dragging the bumper.

Made some burgers tonight with ground beef from one of the local farms. It’s such an amazing flavor over the store bought commercial stuff.
To late for a pic maybe next time.
I mentioned not long ago I haven’t seen any ice in the harbors for years. I jinxed myself. Been in a deep freeze for over a week now. Makes for good pond hockey though. It looks like a warming spell in moving in for the weekend.
I didn’t get that far into it. Not sure if they did or not. It was just a manual tilt 25hp but there was battery cables going to the motor so it was a least electric start. Who knows. Live and learn as they say.
I was driving past a house thats only used seasonally last week and saw a skiff with an outboard tilted all the up. I stopped and lowered it to keep it from collecting water. 2 days later I was tracked down by local PD. I guess they had cameras and saw my truck and plates and reported me messing...
