The internet is serious business guys!!! The influx of pissed off newbs will subside I'm sure once all the chinnys have floated to the surface and become seagull food.

I heard they shoot you on site. Bring a vest.

No chain pickerel or sauger?

I'm sorry, but not impressed in the least. Now if that monster came out of a lake that had a sustainable population, I'd give you a thumbs up. It's like those giant largemouth they grow down south and out west.

Kinda hard to tell by the pics, but I would say a good 2.5-3lbs.

I would assume that silvery fish was either a coho or a steelie. Maybe even a whitie?

Use gloves when you fillet them?

What's a brookie? Along with brookie add Sturgeon to the list if it's not there yet (white sturgeon to be exact) I also think a few members here have been lucky enough to catch a golden trout also. (not me)

I'd be hitting the mouths, without any rain there should be a crap tonne of fish staging....

Reminds me of the blue finned 'eyes we caught on our flyin trip this year.

You guys are starting to confuse me with all your fancy talk.

How is the weight the same? It's not like a 30lb fish has bones and structure 30 times as strong as say a 1lb bass.. If they did, then it wouldn't matter I guess. but they obviously don't. Cool topic if you think about it!

I vertical hold bass and small pike. Anything with a decent amount of weight gets supported underneath the belly.

Leave the steelhead where they are and let the resident brook trout prosper.

River fishing never stops, you just need to drive to the open water

Awesome fish!! Sounds like the mayfly hatch on Nipigon finally finished

Cauterizing is what they most likely did. Best way to do it with minimal bleeding, but man they are pretty much burning it off!!! Had my tonsils done when I was 19 via the same method... Hurt like hell and I couldn't eat much for atleast a week.. Hurt to swallow also, I spit for the first couple of days.. Get better soon!

China.

When tying a palomar, I always add another half loop once I've tightened it down. Dunno if it helps or not, lol

Geez, that thing is a monster!!! Shouldn't be long now!

Am I the only one that likes skin mounts over reproductions? Seems like people over paint the fish for whatever reason. My oldman had some fish done by Larry's Taxidermy in Bobcaygeon and they look absolutely as good as they did the day he picked them up 20 years ago.

Bring your memory cards boys, cause they'll be filled by the end of the trip June 2010 will not come soon enough!

If there was an official complaint, that must mean the MNR has the complainants details

Nice man!!! Loads of crappie in there

Don't bust my rod!!!!!!!!!! :) Have fun Mikey, I wish I was going with ya bud!
