...you also didn't know that he only lands 18% of his fish

good stuff, how big was the salmon?

ya up until a week ago you could drive a yacht with no license but not a jetski...needed a license for that for quite some time now

welcome julio, gotta be some water around London somewhere you can fish, let us know how you do

very sorry to hear about your father Joey. My condolences to you and Paul

who says he would want to play for the leafs? I think this was just a nice gesture by the flames to let him go out on a high note rather than as an embarrassment. I don't think either side truly believed he would make the team.

lebarons sells that reel

I agree. I feel sick if I think a fish won't make it. Funny how when you work so hard for something you value it more...kind of like life. Get the proper tools so you don't sit there staring at a big fish saying what the hell am I gonna do now!

great report but If you're gonna target them, gotta use a leader next time

very depressing. I haven't been to my cottage since mid august, and next time I go will be to shut her down. Where did summer go? Only good news is once cottage is closed down I can start focusing on musky fishing!

sounds like a nice fish. How about leader length? A decent musky would gobble up a little buzzbait like that and 12 inches of leader no problem

good for you, looks like lots of action

maybe that was the problem! What pound test were you using? A musky makes powerful runs. A drag too tight may lead to broken line or rod, or cause a hole around the hook to form allowing the hook to come free if fish gets any slack (see head shake or airborne fish to create slack in line - muskies do em both, often at the same time!)

I shut mine off whenever I can - ie casting a weedbed there's no point to have it on. Even if it doesn't scare the fish, they may be conditioned..."heard that pinging noise before, ate something, and then something very bad happened to me...not going to eat this time when I hear pinging"

holy good deal! I just stopped at some guy's house on the way home from work because he had a small canoe (aluminum) for sale for 50.00. Thing was a total piece of crap, looks like it bounced around on the freeway for an afternoon, actually quite funny how crushed and crumpled it was...either way I was going to buy it because what can you get for 50? Apparently a sportspal, I better check kijiji before I buy the smashed up popcan canoe

incredible story, pretty scary to have a bear that close. That guy was seconds from being turned into bear scat

nice fish but if it took you all year sure wouldn't be my favorite lake!

same problem here. Why the heck did they mess with the old squeeze bottle anywho...someone in product development should lose their job. They took something that worked fine, tried to turn it into a gimmick and now it sucks

and you want to do this why?

hope he got that snapping turtle out of my lake, we've got a few to spare

some great looking photos, especially from a blackberry! Who needs a camera?

...its funny because its true

looks like the feedbag is on! nice fish

will be exact same result - conservative minority - Harper hasn't pissed off those who voted for him last time, but hasn't won any new friends either. I'd like to see them get a majority to see what they can do, but with the big southern ontario vote I can't see it happening
