BTW steve_paul, I was trying to quote your response in the deleted post as "ditto".

I left already

in there now but no one else is around.

It was a jaw dropping remark that wasn't going to sit well with a lot of people (my opinion only).

WTG on those beauty browns. And congrats to your friend first Salmon.

Sorry to hear you lost your carp bait, and then lost your pike/muskie bait. LOL

Now, I'm thinking, how in the world can I pass up on an opportunity like this, finally meet Wayne and go fishing with him too up North? I'm going to have to check the appointment book and then see if it will fly with my wife. I'm thinking I'll be kicking myself if I miss is opportunity. I'll PM you later Wayne. D@mn it looks like I would be able to make it work out. I've got to be in the clinic on Sat.

Wayne, you have a family that rocks! Love the pic of your mom tubing! Looks like another blast of the summer. WTG on the reno.

Wayne, looks like you were having a hoot of a time. Great July report, now onto the Aug report!

Wayne the wall looks great! It's good to hear you and Leah had a good summer overall. Look forward to see your report on the muskie trip.

WTG Cliff on your 2 fish night. Wow, how the chinnies are starting to get darker with every post. Now for a 3 fish night, eh? Stan

Hey Wayne, glad to see you back posting. Too bad on the camera though. Look forward to see more of your posts. Stan

Good to hear that you are well Roger. Like many others here, I had been wondering about why I haven't seen any of your posts or replies. Obviously you've had a busy summer! Look forward to the pics.

Hey Cliff, good net job. WTG Carole on your PB salmon!

Nice report, nice fish and pics. I guess Joonmoon will be kicking himself now. Thanks for the post.

I saw some of his work on the news last night. Absolutely beautiful pieces of work. My condolences to the family and may he rest in peace. Stan

I don't know of any catfish in Ontario to have any toxins in their whiskers or spines (I may be corrected should there be any). The protective slime that covers catfish is more likely to have may bacteria that can cause easy infections if one of the spiny fins cuts or punctures the skin. As Andrew said it very well, For smaller fish, hold the catfish such that the hand is behind their spines. (thumb behind one of the side fin's spine, dorsal spine resting between the thumb and index finger, then in the index finger or the third finger behind the other side's fin/spine.) For bigger fish, I'd recommend getting a lip-gripper as there would be no way to do the above.

Welcome on board, get ready for the ride!

Very touching, thank you for sharing.

Welcome JohnF to the family.

That should remind him why not to use live bait when hand fishing! LOL That's going to leave a mark.

Hey isn't that St. Roberts? Anyways, in Markham Toogood pond and Milne Park both have some angling opportunities. Don't bother with Waldon pond, the daily poachers have pretty much gutted the place (reminds me I need to bring a camera next time I go for a walk there, one guy had 5 lines in the water!). Another popular spot for river anglers is near 9th line and Steeles (not recommend for too large of a group of kids). Not sure if that helps. Stan

Yikes!! I think my kids would have had nightmares if that happened to us. And then I wouldn't get many more chances to bring the kids fishing. Good on you all for snipping the line, the hook will eventually rot out. Hopefully, next time it will be a muskie. Tight lines (as long as it's a fish on the other end )

Gee, another one on a Saturday! My kids have saturday school and I have to work, why do Sundays rarely get picked? Anyways, I hope all the kids and families have a safe and fun time out there. Stan

General, indeed but not always true. It's only if the country is looking to take territory. I.e.: Japan lost the war on their own territory but didn't get assimilated. peace and be well.
