 DISREGARD.... WRONG DATE... ooops   New York Power Authority boat Breaker II brings sections of the ice boom into the inner harbor, as crews began to remove it from Lake Erie, March 22, 2021.

Rather than thinking of a 2nd engine as a "kicker", think in terms of auxiliary power. The auxiliary power should be of sufficient size to maintain headway and steerage in a blow. Many a "kicker" choice is selected/sized for trolling applications (using main power for trolling in rougher conditions), but the "kicker" cannot maintain headway/steerage if the main power fails in rough conditions. Don't undersize a "backup"...

we ended up turning around and was able to net it before it swam back down

Be careful... in many tournaments and likely NYS waters, that might be interpreted as an illegal fish. “Landing nets may be used in completing the catch of a fish hooked by angling“.

Previous Canandaigua Lake record was 26lbs 6oz caught by Ed Neary in the 60's...  this one is not far behind the Seneca record, which I believe is 30lbs, ~oz.  Incredible!

HB2...

..... "Maybe a suggestion is a much more aligned monthly newsletter of exactly WHAT AND WHY things are done and calculated and measured and and and. Hard for humans to not question, if things aren’t articulated for why decisions may be being made. Just my humble observations.
For what it’s worth. Thanks"

Where is Bill Reilich on this, ??!!??  After all, he was appointed as a "voice" for the southern shoreline property owners and business interests. He should be able to provide background and timely information on IJC actions/decisions:  https://www.ijc.org/en/ijc-appoints-greece-town-supervisor-bill-reilich-its-international-lake-ontario-st-lawrence-river
