Fish overboard, should it be FOB, not MOB button?

All fish stories are believable, honest!
Rats, at least I did one thing correct.  Could have hit the MOB but instead hit and marked a new waypoint on that strike.  It felt significantly different, I was fishing pike and it hit, it was big and only 13 feet of water that dropped down a shute to 90 feet and using the 798si in side image I found the depression and was fishing it. So slight but enough of a feature it was the path to deep water for some of the creatures.

The wind was severe and I was far enough from shore only a GPS waypoint would get me back so I motored up and started the drift again onto the waypoint.

This time I hooked up to a Lake Trout that was 25-30 pounds, largest I ever hooked up.  I could not fold it into my net!  Struggling with the net I got the rapala caught in the netting and dumped the fish out and eventually tore the lure out of its mouth and flipped him back in!  I was trying to net him, hold the boat and rod at the same time.  Moments like this I could have used a buddy.  He is still there!  A growing huge menace to the Bull Trout community, which by the way on the next pass I landed one Bull about 6 pounds.  Kind of anti-climatic.   I love Montana.

This guys started at 80 feet but by two days later hovered at 160.  Could see them quite well on the 798 2D view.

Seriously, these are nice fish, congratulations!

Tight lines!
