Kudos CC,

Hi, caught this grotesque looking beast while fishing on the Ottawa River.

Well....already fished with Thorpe, so for a muskie guy, Lew is the next logical pick. But he's kinda far away so maybe I'll have to drag Crazyhook out for a day on the water in '07. Don't worry Crazy, I'll wave the guiding fees for the day.

Wow, some nice loot there everyone. Our family typically does not spend a lot at X-mas, but this year we broke down and went nuts. My wife got a fancy Danome sewing machine for doing her quilting and I got this 16 channel Yamaha audio workstation, and a couple of mics. I can now do CD and broadcast quality recordings. Just have to learn how to use it now.....

Swweeeetttt, thanks for posting some great pics.

I've been running a successful business for 17 years now providing mechanical design drafting services to local industry and I truly enjoy it. The projects I work on always provide new challenges and no two jobs are the same. I have also done lots of home renovation plans and new home plans (architectural drafting), but I can no longer do that as the Ontario Gov't. has come out with new Building Code regulations that prevent me from being able to do those drawings, even tho' I have approx. 35 yrs. drafting experience. That is unless I want to spend 2K on Bull courses and then pay approx. 6K/yr for Bull insurance. Apparently the Gov't. does not feel I am qualified, yet a home owner with no experience in this field is allowed to provide their own drawings (doesn't this sound like typical government??) . Fortunately, the bulk of my work comes from industry and not residential.

That's a decent pike you got there

Is that a steeple I see in that pic???

Keram, that's one of sweetest boat make-overs I've seen. I think I saw a whole photo album of your modifications on the old OFC board. Very nice work.

Wow Carp.....I'm impressed (and I don't impress all that easy)

Nice pics, love the one w/the tower.

Oooouuuccchhhhh

Bought this tri-hull 14'er in 1988 and just traded it in 2002. It came with a 20hp Mariner (never had one problem with the motor in 14yrs). First two pics show the original boat then with the rear deck I built. I had to make a steel bracket to mount the MinnKota and the Eagle 7200. Another before and after. 1995 pic of my better half at Bon Echo (Mazinaw Lake) At a Rideau River launch and stored for the winter.

Here's a coupla muskie pics I have on file. Ahh it's a bit early, but, Merry X-mas everyone. Can anyone see anything festive about Crazyhook's muskie???

Hey, awesome tune....and I thought Primus was the only band that had fishing songs!!!

Maybe a blessing in disguise....now you own a place on the water

Congrats Joey!!!

IMO there is nothing lower than a thief. Hope they nail the guy.

Go Bruins Go

Wow, that coulda been a catastrophe. Best time to check is after you launch your boat and park. Makes it a lot easier to check it all over.

Gilbert Godfrey was asked to name which of the world's animals had the largest eyes of all. His answer was "Marlon Brando at a buffet". Funny post!!!
