Nice fish, Jamie, and welcome to BBG!
A few years ago I was flying into Minneapolis-St. Paul on a business trip to Winnipeg and I couldn't believe how much water I could see out the plane window on approach - it seemed like nobody lived more than a 1/4 mile from a pond or lake. Amazing!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Looking forward to sharing more outings with everyone. There are definitely big gills to be found up here but it takes a lot of foot and homework!
