It probably is fake, but if it is, it's sure well done

Guess there's some truth to the old expression "you'll shoot your eye out with that thing"....almost That was brutal

It's amazing how many bass go after large musky baits.

Fantastic Mike, some great fish and a great cause also. And yes, I remember very well your 1st follow !!

Can't help you with that jimmer, I'm not a hunter and don't know anything about the regs. Been by that field a couple times in the last week though and haven't seen that big guy lately. Hopefully he's gone into hiding if there is a season for him.

You can add my name to the list of those that NEVER get checked by CO's in the Kawarthas and I can honestly say that in 50 odd years of fishing the area I've been stopped exactly ONE time. I had a trailer north of Peterboro for 36 years and fished the region all the time. The one time I was stopped was opening day of duck season, probably 30 years ago, and they just wanted to know if I'd heard any gun shots before sunrise, and never asked me a single question about fishing.

OK, I agree with you

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm just curious as to what you mean by that statement.

Doesn't matter if guys are cool with each other or not, but this board, just like any board, has a set of rules that are sposed to be followed.

Your new here so perhaps you haven't learned the rules yet, but unsolicited advertising of your products, whether fishing related or not, is considered SPAM and is not permitted on this site.

Make your own leaders, then you know their done right. Very simple to do.

Thanks for sharing that Rob, some really excellent pictures there !!

Thanks Dave, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a loooong time

Not according to alot of the guys that live along the hwy 17 corridor, infact some even think their in the "far" north

Congrats & well done Great catch !!

You could do away with the 12 volt backup battery davey and use one of the deep cycles for an emergency start if needed. Just carry a set of jumper cables in the boat and your all set.

Congrats on that beast Mike, really incredible catch !!

That's odd that you can't pull your boat up a ramp in 2wd. Is the boat too heavy for your vehicle or do the rear wheels just spin.

To be honest davey, I never buy anything used so I'm not the guy to ask, but for sure there's plenty of honest guys selling good used gear. With a bit of footwork, I'm sure you'll find a good deal.

My Fortrex shaft is 60" and I'm sure the electric steer models will come as long or even longer.

Not if you shoot it with a camera

Good to see you boys hooked up and put some nice bass in the boat !!

Get the 4x4 and you won't have anything to worry about.

I fished Quinte for many many years Joe, but it was always in May and we always fished after dark. Minnow baits like Rapalas & Bomber Long "A"s in black/white and blue/white always produced and waaaaay back in the day we used Pikie minnows and did well with them too. Preferred areas to fish was shallow mud flats close to shore. Don't know if those tactics would work in the fall, but just thought I'd toss it into the ring.

Talk about a trophy fish !! Thanks for posting that Shawn
