  1. we were swimming in the lake Friday, was pretty comfortable actually (even I had to go in to deal with a dock issue). Having said that, our lake is only 7-10 feet in most spots. Saw tons of bass in the shallows gettin busy...love this time of year!
  2. gotta agree with the others. I bet that boat is rated for a 50 hp (could always check the plate). I would expect at least a 40 on a boat like that, so a 25 will be quite slow with 2 adults in it I would think. Legend is notorious for underpowering their packages to make the price look appealing. If you are comfortable with plowing along then if the price is right go for it. If you want to bomb from South Bay in Balsam up to the Provincial Park in 5 to 10 minutes I don't think this is what you want. Any chance you can water test it? Then you will know!
  3. my buddy loves the stuff. Personally I don't understand why people don't just hang a few ounces of weight ahead of a 10 foot leader (coming from the guy who doesn't have leadcore)
  4. almost musky spawning temps!
  5. gonna go get me some tonight. I don't ever see the juicy big ones in the morning, but at night? look out. Yard is covered in em
  6. remember...to get % you move the decimal over 2 places...so I would say .0136%
  7. Glad I don't eat fish...chowing down on a 110 year old fish doesn't sound like the tastiest thing.
  8. don't you worry. the one time I did make him do the "aquadump". Unfortunately he was right beside the transducer and I caught the whole event on the humminbird
  9. Good luck guessing when momma is gone to perform the transfer!
  10. as far as line capacity, I sometimes troll with a curado 300....which is kind of like a larger bass baitcaster...and it does just fine. Doesn't have a clicker though, the reason I don't often use it. When I vacationed at Pigeon with the family I didn't want to to take all the rods, so ended up having to troll with it. Told the kids to keep an eye on the reel...when they see the spool turning to let me know. Of course not trusting them I did turn around and check it every 30 seconds or so. Good thing I did...we did catch a couple but usually I was the one noticing the drag slipping...they have no attention span. Either way they had fun reeling them in...dad just drives the boat!
  11. can it count to 15 feet? That'll do! When I troll most of my lines are less than 30 feet from the boat. So although I have line counters, I don't use them when musky fishing (or if I use em, I don't actually pay attention to the counter)
  12. oh wow, by the title I thought you had just hit the gym and were headed home to the missus...😬
  13. someone who doesn't have to go poop 15 minutes after we start. Got a buddy like clock-work...gotta take a dump as soon as we get to the first spot.
  14. what??? That thing is huge...but yes, the camera does appear a little close to the fish. That bruiser doesn't need creative photography
  15. wow some real nice perch there!
  16. you sure did!
  17. Nice pics Rob! Glad she is still treating you well going on 7 years now! I did love that boat too, just needed something a bit bigger to hit up St Clair. Some of those pics were taken at my house...I see one of the kids hiding on the floor
  18. yup I cringed. Seen it happen to a few people, but never personally experienced it (thankfully)
  19. ...here is the greatest hail Mary of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhSqtbu_24M
  20. fantastic place...my parents lived on Erie for a few years until my father passed away. Looking at your pics brought back some memories of time spent out that way!
  21. nice...probably come to snack on minnow fragments scattered over the ice
  22. over 15 inch perch? insane. Brian I have left fish with bladder issues at the top of the hole as I fish, sometimes as time goes on it deflates and they swim away. Its just kind of annoying that they are laying there as you keep reeling in other ones!
