Why would anyone have doubts about this fish in the first place?

...or PS3 or Xbox 360 Not like anyone can tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p anyhow. Although I am sure there are a few that swear they can tel the difference

Look at the size of the belly on that thing!!!!! I wonder what the fish fought like.. I would have let her go also, no way I'd remove genetics like that from any body of water...

Hardwater season? Wading in the river for steelhead

That thing looks like it had a few cats and dogs for dinner!

550 Series from Samsung are decent, if you don't mind a little bling, check out the 750 series... LG also has some nice plasma's... My next one will be a Pioneer Elite, but that won't be for a while

I just picked up a RealTree Gortex 4 in 1 wading jacket a few days ago... I can't wear anything but a t-shirt underneath it or I am sweating my ass off

I think I am going to cut my losses and hit the lower the next time I go out!

I use Vonage, $22 a month 500 minutes anywhere in Canada/US. Works perfectly for me, no complaints at all (I am also on Rogers HS)

Nice fish Sil!!! I hit the Notty yesterday for an hour or 2 and came up with nada!

I think half the issues people have with baitcast setups is that they don't take the time to make some simple adjustments based upon what lures they use. You can't go from tossing a 1/4oz tube, to a 1oz spinnerbait and expect the reel to perform the same. Anytime I change lures, I always let the reel free spool to the point at which the lure weight pulls the line out itself, but doesn't backlash... Sure after a while I back it completely off so I can bomb casts, but that just comes from practice.. Once you are good with a baitcaster you'll never go back to a spinning setup in the same situation.... I also find my baitcaster a lot easier to cast 12hrs a day then a spinning setup.

Thanks Al... I still plan on making my way up to the places mentioned in the article I wish I could convince you to tag along!

Eric, I am really looking forward to the spring, I have a soft spot for brookies Maybe this time we'll find some creeks with water in them? lol

They must be really pushing the limits out the Grand Valley way. There are all kinds of them out there and they aren't to far away from inhabited places. (Looks like Wayne took the words right out of my mouth)

Cliff, the ditches out east don't seem to difficult compared to this monster. Hopefully I can take a few things I've learned and see if I can turn around my streak on the Notty.

Mike, you know what? That's exactly what my buddy said

Well, I played hooky from work and decided to hit the Saugeen with a buddy of mine. Morning started off well with both of us hooking into fish within the first 10 mins or so. After that things went dead. The flow was insane, the river is so high we are fishing holes and runs that have never been there before. My buddy Dave got into two fish, I hooked up with one but horsed it near the end and the hook popped. If you have ever fished the Saugeen when it's at a normal level, these pics will make you smile I've be making notes on river conditions and the corresponding hydrometric data, I now have an idea when the go to time is for this specific place...

I've caught some real nice brookies out of the upper credit.. Just gotta put some footwork in.

Save yourself some $$$ and import a car by yourself. Process is very simple and you can save yourself some decent $$ (Although now with the dollar the way it is, it might not be worth it)

Raf, you'll most likely be fine later on. when I was coming home at 4, the snow really started to fly! Be careful and good luck this weekend.

Wow, that is the definition of a rocket!!! Good job man, to bad about the sign :) Atleast you didn't forget the camera!

Marcus, what are you planning on fishing for mostly? Unfortunately flyrods aren't a 'one size fits all' type of setup... Figure that out, then you should be able to make a better decision.. Good job on the grades btw!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!
