Monster Video Walleye Video Submitted by H. Chow hollysfishing@hotmail.com
The first annual inaugural Corporate Media Event was held this past weekend of December 12th, 2009 hosted by Stu McKay of Cats on the Red, in Lockport. Manitoba. With many leaders in the ice fishing industry attending, Stu strived to make this a great success and prove the big eyes are in Canada.
Many leaders in the ice fishing industry from across the United States and Canada were invited to attending this gathering. ReelBait Tackle of Seward, Nebraska entry - Team ReelBait, consisting of brothers Jason and Jeff Matity from Saskatchewan, were invited guests. LARGEST FISH of the event (a behemoth "Red River Greenback" walleye) was caught and landed by the one and only Jason Matity of Team ReelBait. As the drama played out, the entire sequence was captured on video! "It nearly did not make it out of the 8.5 inch hole....A safe guess would be between 17 and 18 lbs", said event organizers. The fish was documented by the event organizers, photographed and released alive.
Recent findings of video analysis of the catchs girth, calculate it to be between 23.60" to 24.34" around, depending on which photo is analyzed. With a length of 33inches, and figuring a 24 inch girth, the fish would weigh in at approximately 16 pounds 6 ounces as was originally reported by the Matity's on CTV, Regina.
Lure: ReelBait -1/2 ounce - Red Tail Flasher jig - Penguin color was used.
As always, Jeff and Jason Matity continue to make ReelBait Proud.
