Congrats to your Dad ... fish of a lifetime for sure !!!

Nice to see you got the family up there. Thanks for the report !

congrats, great footage !

gotta love days like that ...

Truly amazing specks ... its just awesome to see fish like that ...

Thats how it starts ... Abbey was my first fly in as well based on Mike's input, now into my third booking and each one just gets better ... I find 1 week of fishing these remote lakes you really get to practice and hone your fishing skills. The fact that the fish are so plentiful allows you to experiment with different techniques that you might not necessarily have the confidence to try or learn.

Absolutely amazing Drew ! That was a National Geographic report ...

I will probably use splitshots after I use up and lose the pencil weights that I bought, I don't think they are any better other than the ease of pinching the line in the eyelet. The splitshots you just need a set of pliers for securing ... depends on your PITA factor. I am sure the dropshot experts will provide some better feedback.

awesome stuff .... gotta love jigging for lakers

great report and your photography is superb !

great job, looks like a beauty

Hey Mike, just got back from vacation and saw your post. Terrific report and the enthusiasm of your son is just priceless. Thanks for putting that together.

the adventures of Simon and Jack ... just priceless

What an amazing report Dave. True wilderness ..

Grreat to see you got up to the cottage this summer, what a beautiful spot. Yes your son does have the famous Borger grin ... great stuff !!!

very cool, never knew they would be so old .... that fish is an oldtimer

You did what you had to do ... thos Loons can be nasty, I saw one swim underwater right up to the dock i was standing on and snatch a duckling that was following its mother , what ensued was pure mayhem, but the Loon won and the duckling was gone, nothing I could do standing on the dock , i was surprised that a Loon would do that

looks like a great trip, cool videos too that looks like some big water and no one around, you gotta like that jigging for lakers is huge fun !!! and that's a pig of a laker in that picture , good job

very nice to see your efforts paid off !!!
