Way to go bobber.
It's great to see you get the big one after seeing so much written about the attempts.

I've bought them at Manotick bait in the past. ( by the dozen as well)

I was up to Sault Ste. Marie in July. Some of the cottages I was visiting on Lake Superior had 200meters (yes meters) of new beach because the water was so low. It was a long walk to get to the boat.
