Definitely smallies. Another one of my favs.

I'm sure they make a pretty penny for being on the show, just like the guys from Gold Rush.

Looks like an awesome few days!

Spinnerbaits and jerkbaits for me for the opener. Topwaters closer to Aug in the early morning/evenings. Although I'll take a topwater bite over ANYTHING if I had my choice.

The fish are definitely the best part of that show.

I can't take how scripted it is... And the fact that when fighting a fish depending on the angle, it's obviously film taken from a different day (Different waves, sky, etc). Good premise though.

Most likely on Tuesday however as this storm rolls through on the weekend. I don't need to dry out the boat again.

Gbay, always Gbay.

Definitely some mental health issues going on in this thread as well, JFC.

I feel sorry for you man, I really do hope they turn things around. Management has gotta go!

What are they doing? lol

Big head and skinny body, I was thinking the same thing. I interrupted her trip back to the lake

Right on man! We took some big pike in Elbow where those giant boulders are (We also smoked one so hard with the boat, Mike and I went flying, lol!) Trump is a good lake trout lake, nothing huge but lots of fish and all up shallow this time of year and the walk is pretty simple.

This would be really cool.. You'd probably spend more time looking at the screen then fishing Mike! lol!

My 6wt would have been destroyed Maybe next year I'll pick up a heavy stick and bring it along.

I thought I had a big pike on to be honest with the way it was staying down, then I saw the head and just started to laugh.

We caught them on everything, although each day kinda had its own pattern. Walleye pic should be fixed, dunno how that happened.

Thanks Chris, she didn't complain about the long days we had and caught a lot of giants. We camped.

Just got back from northwestern Ontario and some great pike fishing. I love these things, especially chasing giants in 2ft of water or less. Biggest fish of the trip was 47in, saw ones much bigger but they were rather uninterested in my presentations but did enjoy sunning themselves Surprise 29in walleye to finish the trip off as well! The 47in was one of the thickest pike I've ever seen, shoulders on these fish (Even the high 30in fish) were insane. You'll also notice no GoPro shots and fish being held 8ft away from us. No need to camera tricks with these things. Our best day was 12 over 40inches, I caught 4, 42inchers in an afternoon but of course she got all the big ones, lol. Can't complain, her first time pike fishing, she definitely got spoiled! Biggest for me on this trip was 45in, I'll be chasing that 50 next spring. No weights on these fish, just a quick measurement, pic then back they went. 47in giant.. she could barely hold on to it. https://i.imgur.com/NGBwq8j.jpg[/img] Bonus walleye! Hit a Dr spoon, not surprised I've caught some pretty big walleye on pike gear

Hey man! PA? I hope you're doing a lot of steelhead fishing on the south shore

Matt, I gotta admit some of the stuff you come up with does give me a good laugh, lol

Great report!

The only ones! Although I was at Bass Pro yesterday stocking up for my trip and couldn't find the real big ones I like. Pro tip, some gorilla glue on the shaft of the hook to keep those plastics from being ripped off

Yup.

These idiots post crap like this all the time, should have taken their gear and their licenses forever.
