Beauty Fish, congrats Joey

That cake is awesome Mike, you're wife is very talented. Congrats to the winners. Joey

Yep, looks a bit wavy to me. But you stuck it out and were rewarded, way to go. Joey

Just wondering what kind of fishing you'll be doing, deep and with planer boards? That's how we usually fish there. If so, use some Wally Divers, and if I remember correctly, the colours were Wonder Bread or Clown that produced for us. Hope that helps. Joey

That's awesome Peter, great job and nice present Joey

Are you going to be in a boat Aaron? What size if so?

That would be fantastic Aaron. It sure has been a long time. Nice of you to crawl out of the woodwork Thanks for the replies everyone, back at work today and still happy about the whole week and the G2G. Wonder how long that till last Joey

Damn straight

I voted and will try to remember to do so every day. I voted with my email and Paul's aswell. Good Luck Brian!!! Joey

Yes, I most certainly did, both of them

Great report TJ, and another successful G2G it was. Thanks for putting all this together. It ran pretty smooth this year. I had a blast. I got some good pics of you and Monique and put them in my report. Looking forward to seeing you some time later this year. Joey

Jeez, I didn't hear about that haircut Pete. Glad it all turned out okay. Now I understand the earrings Great to see you again. Had some great laughs with you and Bill this year. Joey

Really great report Cliff. I enjoyed our chat around the campfire. Tell Carole we'll start earlier next time so we can chat longer Hard to get a year's worth of gab in for the short time we had. Great pics as usual, awesome muskie for Carole and that is a huge smallie. Pound for pound I think they are the best fighting fish out there, well, aside from muskie Joey

Awesome report Rich. Glad to have spent some time with you and Patsy. Sorry we missed you when you left but we were on the hunt Looking forward to seeing you next year. Great pictures and cool silver pike Joey

Great report Mike, it was great to see you again. Congrats on the first musky, she sure was a beaut. Glad Lew's tips paid off. I think I'll whip up some more of those same colour lures for you and your uncle. Joey

Another very successful June Lakair G2G in our opinion and we had a fabulous time. It was great seeing everyone again and we already can't wait until next year. We arrived Friday noonish and set up our "home" for the week. We saw alot of smiling, happy faces when we arrived. Lew and Bassbastermike had been up earlier in the week and looked quite relaxed. Bill and Peter looked even more relaxed Maureen made it up again this year, along with Leah and Wayne, which was a nice surprise. Patsy and Rich made the long haul aswell, and it was great to see you two!!! Return PM on its way Not sure what Paul is ready to do here, but hopefully he's going to chop firewood. Kevin joined us for awhile. Toby was the resident Go Boy this year, and a fine job he did. Cool Australian accent too!! Chris made it up with his darling Brook, I belive ChrisK tagged along for the ride. Our fearless leader TJ. Moi, with my Executioner mosquito killer in hand. This is a great picture of Monique and TJ!! Pete forgot his regular earrings so he had to make do with these lures An even bigger surprise was Jil101 (Joyce) showed up for a few hours Friday night. Was great to see you again Joyce (I know you're lurking) The Group Shot. The Pike tournament was on Saturday and we had the pleasure of Roy joining us in our boat. Paul ended up winning biggest fish in the tourney, a nice surprise, and won a float suit compliments of Peter (Biteme). Thanks Pete, I'll enjoy my new suit Here is the winning fish. The ceremonies began with TJ giving a touching speech. He had everyone's almost undivided attention. My new suit The trophy for most inches went to Joyce's nephew, Dan I believe his name is? Bly snagged an awesome musky cradle off the prize table. Great pick Carole!!! Spiel picked this neat lure up. Love the t-shirt Leah. John trying to make a decision. Payback are a B..... eh Wayne . Should have bought a Chev After Saturday, the weather was not nice most of the time, but at least it was not stinkin hot!!! Sunday ChrisK and I went out in the rain for a fish and I ended up getting 3 pike, this one being the largest. Thanks for taking me Chris, I enjoyed our chat and fish together and thanks for letting us use your boat Spiel. Much appreciated. Where is that wascally wabbit!!!!! Saw some turkey vulchers picking at some kind of meal, I think a rabbit. A few storms brewed up too. Zack ditched the mohawk and went for dreads this time. Paul and I pounded all the bays for musky the rest of the time after all the OFC'rs left. Rained mostly but there was one sunny day. My hands have blisters and cuts and my entire body aches, but that's what its all about. This little guy came up to the boat to check us out one day. I caught about 40 pike throughout the week (Paul not so much ha ha), but pike are pike and I didn't bother with pics. Paul did catch two very nice pickerel while musky fishing, in the middle of the day too, but alas they were in the slot and back they went. Irishfield, is that you?? This plane buzzed very close over the boat. Each night we went pickerel fishing, and I got a few, but Paul can apparently only catch them in the middle of the day while musky fishing, so caught a bass instead. Hair by Mercury!!! One day while pounding a small bay, Paul raised an enormous musky using one of my homemade bucktails. All I heard was OH MY GOD and took a look and this thing had surfaced and was following his lure, but he ran out of line and started doing the figure 8 and it slowly lost interest. It was huge with a massive head and a large broad back. Definately well over 55 inches. Well that got us pounding even harder and we didn't even go pickerel fishing that night, just back to camp to eat and then back to the bay. But she never surfaced again. While trying to find her I ended up catching two very nice musky tho, which definately made the week for us. What a great fight. Here they are in all their glory. This one was 35 inches. This second one was 36 inches, a bit skinnier tho. One of the revival release shots. We pounded some more for the beast and Paul finally said that was it, we were heading back (it was yesterday late, our last night). He gave it one more cast and caught this, a nice 24.5 inch pickerel. Once again, on a musky lure LOL. A few sunsets. Until we meet again!!!!!!! A big thanks to TJ and Monique once again, and to Kevin and Leslie for having us unrully bunch. And Spiel, your Musky Rods ROCK!!! They were great and we used them all week. Cheers, Joey

Just finishing up the packing and we're outta here. I'll make sure I take lots of pics. Back in a week, see ya!!!! Joey

Ouch, brings back memories. Been there, done that, except mine was three trebles in the base of my thumb. It was this time 2 years ago at Lakair and we were in the pike tourny. Paul got the first pike and it was not the biggest, but an eater and some inches for the tourney nevertheless. I was so excited to get the fish and not lose it, I grabbed it behind the head, except he had caught it right beside the boat and it was still full of piss and vinegar. The hooks all went into my hand and the fish just kept on shaking, and shaking, and shaking Paul cut the hooks off the lure and the three of them were all still attached to my hand with the barbs in there real good. He whipped me back to camp and my heroes Spiel and Crappie Steve knew just what to do. They ripped those puppies out right there on the dock, then administered some rubbing alcohol and bandages. I was good to go, albeit a little sore for the next few days. Ahhhh, good times Hope your thumb feels better soon bud. Joey

Happy Birthday Big Guy!!! We'll really miss you at Lakair this year, just won't be the same without you. Joey & Paul
