It looks like there could have been a new record sheep head in Ontario! Our friend Mike caught himself a massive 22.2 pounder back in 2008, that set the record and now Aaron Shirley (who some of you may recognize from such shows as Getting Hooked with Aaron And Barry) caught an even bigger one in the same area, tipping the uncertified scales at 27.5 pounds (12.5 kg)!

Awesome catch and release Aaron!

Pike Shooting.

I certainly have no problems with guns, but shooting a fish before it gets a chance to spawn can’t be good for pike populations.
