man... I'd settle for an 89 topaz at this point.

I own that exact reel. Have it on an Avid crankbait rod. Love the entire setup. Smooth long casts and lighter then anything. You'll love em.

Don't even notice them. If they bug ya that much just don't look.

There's been a lot of great reports posted on the board lately... big fish and lots of em. Glad to see guys and gals gettin into nice fish and sharing your stories. However, something I've been noticing that I wanted to bring up.... I've seen a lot of big fish being mishandled for pics. Mainly, fingers in the gills. I don't want to discourage posting of pics, rather incourage proper handling of fish. Even for a big walleye you only need 2 fingers under the gill plate and never should any fingers go between the gill rakers. Also, go under the gill that is on your side of the fish, not the camera side. Keep up the good fishin everyone. Cheers, ben.

Nice clean lookin fish... WTG fellas.

lol @ raf

Wow! Serious props to you 2 for an amazing night. All at a new location too.... think you'll go back?!?! hahaha. That 32x20 is a real impressive fish (as are the rest of em). I'd be going to advanced taxidermy for a replica if I caught that pig. Thanks for the report.

I stand corrected. Anyhow, I was just giving my opinion based on the 2 rods he listed. I've never used a Maina or a Compre but there's no doubt Lew knows what he's talking about. Good luck choosing a new Musky Rod.

Great report man. You fellas landed some nice fish. Well done.

Another head Cheff here. Love to cook.

One thing I'll add about St.Croix is that it's worth the upgrade to Avid since they have a lifetime warranty and Premier is only a year. If the avid ever breaks send it back and you'll get a brand new one. I've had excellent experiences w/ st.croix warranty program.

Congrats!! Truly amazing day. Thanks for the great report.

nice and nicer! Way to go Cliff.

Any google search should get you started. There's even outfitters from Nip that advertise on this site.

Is there anything this board won't do? Oh... right, set the damn hook!!

lol.. nice TJ okay you can all stop guessing... the 5th pic is me That was my first time ever on Lac Seul... oh how a few years can have a lot of change. Who else do I see... both your kids (i think), yeah Girlw, Dan, Rick, speil?, lew, muhmba (Roger something?)... a bunch of red x's. haha Thanks for the neat post TJ.

Real clean looking eye. Nice.

Really cool pics man. That last one of your uncle wearing a suit is classic. Also love the cold 'Ex' in the first pic. Great stuff.

I store all my gear inside. Not sure about fly equipment but I replace all my line in the spring (except for braids). ben.

GREAT SUCCESS!!!!

Waaaay Better!!! Thanks TJ and Everyone else involved. Ben.

Great pics. The owls are really cool, same for the snakes. Only good spider is a dead one!

Love the new board so far. Very easy to use and FAST too.

That rig would be a b*tch to backtroll!

Glad to have you Jed! It's twice as addicting as Nicotine here. lol.
