Every morning in the shallows you could see him swim by,

       G                    F
He was 44 inches weighed 19.5

        G                                   F
Kind of thick all over from his head to his hip,

       G                                     F          G
And if you were a walleye you didn't give no lip to Big Jack

No one was sure where that big fish came from,

G                                              F
Some say he was spawned in a slough in Saskatchewan.

G                                 F
But he grew up big and he grew up strong.

G                                       F
His teeth got sharp, his fins got long, Big Jack

G                                     F
Then came the day at the bottom of the lake

G                                                 F
Jack thought he would snack on some weird looking splake,

G                                          F
It was red, it was white, it was shiny and bright

G                                       F         G
He just had to strike it he just had to bite, Big Jack

He bit down hard and he swam like hell,

    G#                                    F#
The day started good but it would not end well for Big Jack.

G#                                      F#
Letawsky was casting and jerking his rod frisky,

G#                                         F#
Contemplating on life, his new tattoo, and kill-whiskey.

 G#                                                  G#
When suddenly his Pfleuger started screaming and his rod started divin',

G#                                                F#
He said "get the net boys it's a big one, I'm not jivin'" Big Jack

G#                                            F#
Chris fought that fish for what seemed like an hour,

G#                                        F#
But the fish got tired and started losing fin power.

G#                                   F#
They scooped him up with an oversize net,

     G#                                                 F#           G#
They weighed him, took his picture, and we all lost our bets, to Big Jack.

Well Chris put that fish back in the lake,

    G#                                      F#
After kissing and cleaning the scum off his face.

G#                                   F#
Jack swam away with a sore mouth and throat,

      G#                                         F#
And he looked up from the bottom and back at the boat, Big Jack

G#                            F#
Just yesterday I heard someone say,

G#                                            F#
That they seen a Big Jack in that same shallow bay.

       G#                       F#
He was 52 inches and weighed 29.5

    G#                                      F#        G#
That fish swims around and he is still alive, Big Jack
