I guess the fire extinguisher wasn't of any use.

It was time to turn around and come back in when you got out and realized the conditions and heard the change in forecast. Those few little ol' fish weren't worth risking your or your passengers life for...but that's just me.

Why wouldn't that hybrid be called a Chinho? ... and it is a very good looking fish!!! Good job on landing that thing in such small water Kemp!

... of course the non picture takers believe the other non picture takers!

You know the rules... no pics... no believe!!!

There's only one way to handle big unruly fish in shallow water:

Nice pics and some good lookin' Smallies!!! ... so what was the "something new"? *GCD snickers at cold*

I agree!!! btw... are you getting a tan? ... or is it this?

I would think that if you took US currency to Cuba, the vendors would jump all over it... something to spend in Miami after the raft ride!!!

COME ON DOWN!!!... YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON "HOW TO FRY A CANADIAN!!!

Technically, niagra wins... Elusive said the first person to answer... he didn't say it had to be a correct answer! Congratulations niagra!!! ... what did he win???

I've noticed that BIG fish (Stripers here) think it's real damn funny to hit hit the 1/8th oz. spinner on your ultra light set up and take off with all your crap.

Nice fish!!! Pike in the first pic!

Looks like a great family outing and a beauty Musky!!!

I would suggest using Unistrut instead of wood, it's more durable/stronger than wood and easy to work with.

Sometimes it's unavoidable, too large of a fish on too light of tackle.. especially in deep water. I have chased fish down with the gas powered motor, and will not hesitate to do it if need be! Quality tackle will help land a very large fish on light tackle, smoooooth drags!

Agreed Dan, the weight of a fish is passe'. All you need show is the pic!!!

You're talking to the wrong people!!!... and I would consider this more of a whine than a rant! What makes you think that everyone on this board isn't just as... if not more conservation minded than you are? Maybe you should spend your weekends patrolling the shoreline of the Bog looking for "would be" litterers and scolding them in person instead of suggesting that the board members here are to blame!

Excellent report and pics dan!!! Some beautiful fish too!!! Great to see OFNers getting together, especially ones separated by such great distances!!!

You're right Lew! Whenever somebody posts a report here I try to be as appreciative as possible! It takes time and effort to post to the board, an effort a lot of people don't want to put forth! If somebody posts a pic of a fish with statistics of such and such weight or inches and it doesn't look like it to me... I'll hold my tongue and just thank them for posting, it doesn't take near as long to give a little compliment as it did to post the report! If I'm going to post a fishes stats, it will be inches only with a measuring device in the pic... hard to dispute that! As far as the members that have left, I have seen some of these and to tell you the truth find some of it quite ridiculous!!! "He said bad things about my fish! I'm leaving!!!" It is the internet for crying outloud!... take this stuff with a grain of salt and consider the source!!! I know that some folks skin is way to thin... while others can cut their steak with their tongues. Ignore the people that bother you... but stand up for what you feel is right!!! I don't think it's right for someone to logon to this board and slam/badmouth it!!! If you don't like it here... go away!... far away!!! We really don't need you here!!! I, like 99% of the people here really enjoy and appreciate your Musky reports Lew, and it kind of saddens me to know that you don't post as much as you would like to because of the rabble rousers... but we'll be more than glad to read one of your reports whenever you feel fit to post one... and I'd like to thank you for your postings past, present, and future!!!

WOW!!! That was both informative AND entertaining!!!... no need to rethink your sig eh? You're gettin' there!

Here's an impeller kit I found on E-bay that ships world wide: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Johnson-Evi...4QQcmdZViewItem $49.95 plus S&H That $150 for the kit from that mechanic is Bull Beans!!! Oh!... I quit school in the 3rd grade... 'cause I didn't want to pass my Daddy in the 4th!!!

Great report and pics!!! Some very nice Lakers, and that is a Hugh Jass SMB!!!
