Joe and I hit Harriman again tonight after work...I managed a 25 inch Northern on a minnow on 6 pound line...he is pretty thin...put up a good fight...was fishing for saugeyes...I didnt notice he hit it right away...was casting again for Muskies (should be approaching a 1000 casts any day now)
but he managed to have it pretty deep inside his mouth...size 10 hook...6 pound line...no leader...somehow the line never hit his teeth...he went back anyway:

Joe managed a couple of nice saugeyes with the largest pushing 20 inches...caught them on that jointed crawdad rapala thingee...his were really fat...they werent put back...I adopted them in the name of my skillet...we were hopeful after dark but it didnt turn on the way we thought it would...a really nice night except I didnt secure my sunglasses and must of set them on the truck and lost them when I pulled away...I went back around 10pm but couldnt find them...grrrrrrrrrr...oh well I managed to keep them for 5 years...they were pricey but worth the money...nice and dark...I bought them in Hawaii...anyway here is Joe's fish:
