interesting ... $280 is pretty expensive. Who knows, can't really say until I've checked them out though.

oh i just realized my post was at 3:10 PM hahahaha

3:10am? Don't you have work today lol? I was just playing nice so I left all the big ones for you guys and became the net boy / cameraman haha. Mike was just his usual self ... here's his first steel after a whole month no fishing and the release

i use vaseline and it works quite well.

Nice mean looking fish you got there! Enjoyed reading your report, you did much better than me. I was out there for about 2 hours and had nothing to show for it.

Nice to see you stop by again Great pics as usual!

I'm not sure if that's good Wayne ... might have to calm him down before they can do anything LOL. You know we are all rooting for ya Mike.

even knowing the issues you've had in the past I'm still shocked. I hope everything is fine. we still need to go for those lakers!

lol, maybe that's how they roll over there

Mike, next time you land a fish I'll help you dunk it in the river and test out how "weather resistent" your camera is

Uh so you do own an Olympus too! I posted on Kelfun's fb pic (a pic of you) and asked whether you had an olympus (cuz i saw the neckstrap), but he probably thought i asked him and said he owns the Olympus tough. Great shots!

Also an E-620 user myself since Sept of 09 ... (Dan i think you are the only person I know that uses the E-620 other than people on Olympus DSLR forums) I think Dan's got most of it covered. One thing I'd add though, I wish the viewfinder is a bit bigger (Canikon wins this one for sure), but other than that I'm quite happy with it.

that's awesome, beautiful scenery, great weather, the whole river to yourself and a few fish to boot.

pics look great Mike, would even be better shots if they were me holding a fish.

Lots of nice bass there Marko. I haven't been fishing all that much myself this year so i haven't ventured out your way yet. But i'm sure we'll find time to fish together again some day.

Great work as usual Mike! Ant, didn't you have to work lol?

There actually are carp rod/reel at most tackle shops. However, other than the ones mentioned above, their selections are usually very limited. I know BPS/Lebaron both carry Shimano Alivio in various test curves and they do have the B-series baitrunner + thunnus.

didn't have to work yesterday? lucky! congrats on the catch! you may need a bigger net now

Love the post Ryan. I remember seeing those pictures in every one of your reports since the day she was born! That last pic is awesome, looks like the WGSF is HUGE!

Been wondering where you've been rich ... we sure missed ya. still have yet to venture out your way for some carp yet ... one day!

Mike going walleye fishing? lol never thought that you'd pick that up. Good luck on the CanAm, we'll go for some salmon/trout when i come back from the trip.

Nice fish! Can't believe we haven't gotten out yet and I'm gonna be away for almost a month starting this Fri... I guess we will wait till the salmon/steel season comes around.

Haven't heard from you for a while Maureen! Glad to hear that you still got out and catch some fish!

Can you not feed it pieces that still has bones in it? if you really do cut one up, make sure you buy 50 cans of frebreeze before you do so lol.

Great pics and that mirror is amazing. Definitely one of the better looking ones I've seen.
