Russ' Phase Linear 700B Going Fully Comp!!!!!!!

No typo Ron, its the only picture of the fish as well. My mom had discovered a bag full of rolls of undeveloped film after my old man passed. It was only about 2 years ago this picture was developed. And yes on the scale it was 14 lbs. The scale was not faulty either as we had weighed an 8lb trout earlier on it. This thing dwarfed the trout.

14lbs??? Typo??? That looks the same size as my 5lb'er

Jason, that Walleye was nice but where I fish at the foot of the Erie Canal Lock (I think #17???), they average 8-10lbs easy. Up on the Sacandaga, if you go RIGHT NOW and fish off the Sacandaga side of the bridge, you will catch 5-8lber's all day and maybe some bigger ones. They are still spawning right now. Been a longass time since I got to fish up there, last time was in my early 20s. You have to let them go but it's fun as hell catching them, I use a Rapala sinking minnow for them (3 inch). When they run up Redwing Creek, you can literally walk on them so I know what you mean about grabbing them by hand LOL. Salmon are like that in the Genesee River. Once they hit the Kodak Hawkeye Dam, they can't go any futher since it's about 80 ft up with no fish ladders

Yeah I've been to Lake Erie a few times for walleyes but I hate that big lake fishing. I go almost every year to cass lake ,MN. I love trolling in gods country!!
 
Must just be the perspective then. The 5lb and change one I got was as long as my arm. Cuaght it on a Mann's Firetail jigging through the weeds. Same day I got the big bullhead and caught that on of all things a 2 1/2in gold Phoebe fishing for Pickeral LOL

Man, 14lb Pickeral, that's something! I think the NYS record is only like 8lbs. 14lbs is a nice small pike size!!!
 
In norther Ontario Pickeral dont get much longer than that. Its just girth at that point.
 
When we were teens, we would go to the Hagaman Creek and try to catch Pickeral on just black strong thread, that was a blast. I think biggest we ever caught out of there was maybe 4lbs. God I miss those sunny days in the early 80s when we did not have a care in the world. We would tie our tackle boxes and rods to the handlebars and ride everywhere to fish. Sometimes 20+ miles one way up to the Sacandaga in Mayfield, Broadalbin and Bachelorville up to the dam LMAO
 
I have a feeling our friend Mr. Webpolice may be making an adjustment to this thread at some point.

And really, at this point there should be a fishing thread! haha:laughing1:

The last of the "Half Biassed" amps has been fixed. Got this in from Russ last week. besides having the bias set at 115mv, a mod was not done due to shipping the amp to fast...R42 is not required in full comp mode , so that was rectified also. It'll be on the horns all weekend then back to Russ it goes...
