This is an ongoing issue with that site:

It gives me a return of:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/malletts-bay-produces-huge-pike on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Not sure what you got going on there. First I've heard of it. Anyone else have the same problem?

Also, I heard from a state biologist that it's in the running of 3rd largest caught on Champlain, but would be 21st largest in the state.

Great Pike! Can you tell us what was in that giant, sagging belly? Bait fish? Old eggs sac? Just wondering.

BTW, saw the story on WPTZ news, congrats.
I had no problem with the link.
