Every morning in the shallows you could see him swim by,
He was 44 inches weighed 19.5
Kind of thick all over from his head to his hip,
And if you were a walleye you didn't give no lip to Big Jack
(Big Jack, Big Ja----ack), Big Bad Jack.

No one was sure where that big fish came from,
Some say he was spawned in a slough in Saskatchewan.
But he grew up big and he grew up strong.
His teeth got sharp, his fins got long, Big Jack
Then came the day at the bottom of the lake
Jack thought he would snack on some weird looking splake,
It was red, it was white, it was shiny and bright
He just had to strike it he just had to bite, Big Jack
(Big Jack, Big Ja----ack), Big Bad Jack.
Big Jack
He bit down hard and he swam like hell,
The day started good but it would not end well for Big Jack.
Letawsky was casting and jerking his rod frisky,
Contemplating on life, his new tattoo, and kill-whiskey.
When suddenly his Pfleuger started screaming and his rod started divin',
He said "get the net boys it's a big one, I'm not jivin'" Big Jack
Chris fought that fish for what seemed like an hour,
But the fish got tired and started losing fin power.
They scooped him up with an oversize net,
They weighed him, took his picture, and we all lost our bets, to Big Jack.
(Big Jack, Big Ja----ack), Big Bad Jack.
Big Jack
Well Chris put that fish back in the lake,
After kissing and cleaning the scum off his face.
Jack swam away with a sore mouth and throat,
And he looked up from the bottom and back at the boat, Big Jack
Just yesterday I heard someone say,
That they seen a Big Jack in that same shallow bay.
He was 52 inches and weighed 29.5
That fish swims around and he is still alive, Big Jack
(Big Jack, Big Ja----ack), Big Bad Jack.
