I went into town this morning and saw the price of gas was at $1.25.9 just as it has been for the last week or so. Came home an hour later and saw where it jumped to $1. 38.9 Interesting how they'll jump the price up 13 cents per litre but they never drop it by 13 cents. Good to know though that our government says everything is on the up & up.

And even with 50 odd years experience backing boats into the water, you WILL occasionally forget to remove those darned transom straps....believe me

I just purchased a pair of Group 27 Kirkland deep cycle batteries from Costco for $95 each. Never used Kirklands before but lotsa guys have said their good so I'm gonna try them.

Wife and I will be doing our part in a couple hours as we always do, hopefully this time it'll work.

That's great Brian, really nice job

You'll be in her good books for a long time now Nick LOL

Always possible it died during the fight which is quite common if the angler was using light gear and took a long time to land it. But as you say though, nothing illegal if was kept on purpose.

Excellent video and even better fish, thanks for taking us along !!

The last Guest I bought was back in '99 Mike and I got it from West Marine in Toronto but I have no idea if they still carry them or even if they'd ship you one.

Get yourself a Guest charger Mike, their excellent.

Perhaps if you tell the bass guys where you live, or where you'd like to fish the tourney's, it'd make it easier for them to recommend something.

Good choice & congrats, you'll be very happy with that Yamaha.

Well done Simon !! 23 years for me.

Always enjoy your fish'n tales with the kids Rob !! You also gave the kids a good lesson on where NOT to put their fingers LOL

Good to hear you got back to shore relatively dry Brian & hopefully someone contacts you about the missing bar.

Atta boy davey, nice one !!

Enjoy the times with the little guy Rob, they grow up VERY fast

Maybe try Memquisit Lodge, their just east of 64 and may let you park for the 3 days. Plenty of empty islands up in West Bay too and I've often seen tents on them. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.memquisitlodge.net%2F&ei=qg2SU_jVLYeOyATMq4DQAQ&usg=AFQjCNGSBtQDrB8MkFPhKPcQfp05MIyJ4w&bvm=bv.68445247,d.aWw

Lots of great replies here guys and it appears as if many of us have much to be proud of today. You know your always welcome here Jim. Gimme a call this evening after 7 or any time this weekend if you want.

If I recall my history correctly Glen, I think only 3 men survived the Hood sinking.

Yeah, me too Fred and although I went to France a couple times in the 60's we never had time to go to the Beaches although it was something I would have very much liked to have done. I did however see the German sub pens in Brest France and just the sight of them invoked thoughts of the terror those U-boats brought to so many men.

Yes I have Roy. The real name of K225 was HMCS Kitchener but in the movie it was called HMCS Donnacona

My Dad left Saskatchewan & joined the Navy in 1940 to fight the war and his brother went with him and joined the Army. They both fought the Germans for the next 5 years and both were among the thousands that hit France 70 years ago today. Dad's ship was in close to the shores of Juno trying to protect the soldiers while his brother was on the beach trying to get to cover before the German guns killed him. Dad & his brother both survived that horrible day and went on to live long and wonderful lives, but thousands upon thousands of men were killed fighting for us. We owe so much to those guys and I for one am proud to say my family volunteered to fight and helped make this world a better place for those of us that followed them. Dad and his ship

Mines closed too.

Best story I've read in a very long time Simon and it's fantastic to see Sean enjoying himself like that.
