On April 8th 2024 just moments after the peak solar eclipse, Eli was able to land a true Wachusett Reservoir giant!!!! Opening Day 2024 film coming soon! Follow my Instagram for more fishing content: ne_outdoors93
Cool meeting you guys there opening day, then to see you guys landing that monster. There was another 38" caught opening day. Some big ones out there. Congrats gentlemen.
The best advice I can offer is simply to keep trying. This fish was the culmination of years of effort. It’s common to get skunked at Wachusett, so don’t get discouraged. Your effort will be rewarded!
I hooked it on the lower chin ya there was blood that came out when unhooking it but it cauterized and was fine. We catch plenty of fish most have been caught before and have scars
