Very nice, congrats.

Just ask for XL shiners. Any good B&T should have some that size or close

I actually bought XL last time but they were only 3 inches

LOL! Thanks Eddie. He was hooked deep in his mouth but not in the gut. I released him and he swam away strong. I watched him through the ice as he dove back down so no problems. I wouldn't keep a muskie in Jersey bc I want the fishery to be as good as possible.

A couple dicey spots and you probably know where I am talking about. I tested every step with my bar until I got away from the cracks. After that no problems.

Thanks for your response. My question was directed to you and not the other guys who replied. As for those guys, there is no need for the sarcastic comments, especially since the question was not directed at you. This board welcomes new members but some of these replies don't indicate that. All I did was ask a simple question.
