Nice one Geoff! Did the guy at Rona tell you that you need two of those? One at each end of the yard? I'm just envious is all.

Beauty fish there Rich. Congratulate Rob for us. I look at the face on that fish and can almost imagine him saying something. Comical face with the droopy looking eye.

Another great report Chris, thanks. OK, who drinks the Old Milwaukee?

Well Joey is in there. Lots of members there.

Dems is fish and a half, Mike. Very impressive! Thanks for posting.....yes it is a relief.

It's how they find and hire all the most talented people.

Wow, I can see why you'd want a kicker for trolling. You sound overpowered with a 90 on a 1625.

What is your main outboard?

That's perseverance for you Jer. Congrats to you!

Way to go Doug! How deep were they?

Seriously, nature is amazing! Some of these birds hide thousands of bits of food every week (over a thousand a day) in thousands of places during the summer in order to have something to eat during the slim pickings period of winter. We get out of the car, put our groceries away and 30 minutes later we can't find our car keys.

Hey, grey jays aren't stupid. He can't hit a moose so I'd say the whiskey jacks pretty safe.

Good for them! They realize that actions speak louder than decals on boats and patches on 'pro-staff' shirts.

You can probably get most of what you need to know at this address. http://www.ontario.ca/driving-and-roads/get-g-drivers-licence-new-drivers It sounds unbelievably long for a few pedals and a steering wheel but what do I know.....

That's the one I use too Garry. Mine's rated to .041".....051" with the adapter.

Which one do you have Garry?

Christopher, the largest wire bender you can get for that application is the one that luremaking.com sells and it can only handle wire up to .041". There is an attachment available for that machine that'll get you up to .051" wire. Aside from industrial machines, I don't know of any that'll bend .062. For musky baits, you'll do fine with .051". I have inlines and spinnerbaits using .062" wire but they were all made by hand using pliers and 2 pairs of vice grips or a bench vice. Also, if you're going to be making wire baits, do yourself a favour and wear safety glasses. Good luck.

Happy, happy day to you, Betty! I hope you have a super relaxing evening.

That's fantastic, Frankie! Thanks so much for posting this. Craig must be proud and he should be! It's a beautiful piece!

Great report Steve. Sorry to hear about your boat problems but we all know tons of guys who had no boat problems at all and didn't catch one tenth the quality fish you caught. Keep at it....you're an inspiration to lots of folks and thanks for sharing your 2012 recap.

Oh for sure! And Lew has nice teeth too!

Thanks David. You're always helpful.

Congrats to you, Juli! A beautiful fish. You could have smiled for the camera though.
