     I feel so overwhelmed and thankful that I found this fish of a lifetime.  I just love the mysteries of what lurks in these amazing waters!

    It certainly is a very special fish and a great story/details of the catch. To the best of my memory and information I have, it's the 2nd largest Canandaigua bow ever and the largest taken from the lake... the record Canandaigua bow dates to 1962, taken from Naples creek (see article below). I believe it to be the largest/record bow taken from the lake. The previous largest bow from the lake (again to my info/memory) was caught in 1973, weighing 14 lbs 4 oz. Congratualations on a great achievement!!!

    Definitely one of the better sites , BUT , with over 40 years of fishing on LO , I can guarantee that you should add 1 ft to ANY wave height prediction. If it says 1-3 , you can bet on 2-4  etc. 

     Exactly... that's why I used the terminology "data/prediction". Experience and judgement are ALWAYS the final decision makers.

     

  3. cinnamon fish.... thanks soo much for the followup. I belonged to a group nearly 50 years ago, the Finger Lakes Anglers Association, that ran informal season long  biggest fish (LT, RT, etc) contests. The group included a couple guys that some in the FLTA may recall... Wally Allen and Randy Baker. I just enjoy knowing there's a group of great fishermen still pursuing the unique challeges of the Finger Lakes and following the results through their tournament season.

  4. Is the FLTA posting their 2023 tournament schedule and results online, ? In previous years, the information was posted on the FLTA Facebook page, including current tournament results and updated standings. No tournament info has been posted on Facebook for year 2023 to date.

     

  5. 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"...
