I was using a vibrado with a small plastic about a foot above the vibrado and this lady came up and smashed the plastic like it was a laketrout. I didn't have a scale so I don't know a weight but I would put it in the 8-9lb range (base on Quinte eyes I have weighed). She was quickly returned after the picture and will hopefully be caught again someday. Great way to start the season on the big water. Sorry for the blank start :-) It got really nasty out there on the way back to shore, If it wasn't for GPS I would still be wondering around out there. We are heading to the Bay of Quinte this weekend so if anyone is in the Huffs/Hay bay area come and say hi! Randaller

I'm bias towards eyes so in my opinion you just took over first place in pic submissions in today's post for all the boards... It will be hard to beat that.... IMO.. Awesome job. cheers FM

Good question, it was fresh but i'm not sure what did it. I would like to catch the thing that gave it though.
