Yes! Definitely worth it! (but I noticed you are fishing in Canada😂 and it's December now😭 Ouch!) A beautiful fish! Great work, man!

Thanks Dazzling79. I tried again this morning (Friday 0745 hr). I had a good one on for a minute or 2 and it spit the hook. An hour and 1/2 later in a ripping south wind I had another big one on for a few minutes and it cut my line by the hook with its teeth. I had 4 layers of clothing on and the high wind still got through, so I went to Canadian Tire and bought a new jacket and new Longjohns. Tight lines!

brrr, sounds very cold.
