Had the biggest Northern of my life on my deadstick. The head was almost the size of the hole. As I was positioning the head to get through the hole, the hook came out. 30 seconds later, this small guy took my jig.
It's nice to get a consolation prize, but damn the fish was huge. It was what the Swedes call a, "Mëtrefisk". (Meter Fish). That's approximately 40 inches in freedom units.
