Thanks a lot there buddy .... Now I have to get one. I notice the color no longer matches the boat. ( hint hint)

Nice job guys. Would love to catch a Tiger someday.

Awesome fish. Congrats

Exactly what we did with my little girl. Had her creamated and she sits in our curio. Patsy and the kids know that she goes with me. That's why I keep her in my avitar

I WANT ONE

Tough luck on those couple days. I know how ya feel though - I've gone weeks on end without landing a fish. But, just being up there is good enough for me. Catching a fish is just a bonus. Already looking forward to getting back up that way next year.

Great report and love the nice fish you guys were rewarded with. Couple die-hard fishermen. Congrats guys.

Beautiful fish. Congrats.

That's great to hear Wayne.

I think you got it.

That was awesome

Great report Mike. Would love one of those remote back-lake trips someday

Great to see you all could enjoy he summer together ... Long time in coming I'm sure. Maybe next time you post a report, how about adding a couple pictures for us. Thanks for taking he time to share your summer with us.

Man, that sounds great. All the best on your endeavors. Great to see folks who take a vested interest in the kids.

Kinda looks like Tennesee No worries, that stuff will be coming our way before we know it.

An actual hit ... No. But I have seen a fish approach during the 8 - that I had not initially seen coming in. Probably there anyway, but could have been deeper than I could see.

Exasctly how I landed my 46" back last month. Huge swirl near teh bait but never took it. Casdt back again, boyond the swirl, came back through and WHAM !!!!

I do the figure 8 routine each cast - whether I see a fish following or not. Thought is that there could be a fish following or close by, but not yet visible. When I do have a fish following, I keep the lure moving even for a bit after the fish seems to have moved on. One of mine from this September was caught right at boatside during the '8'. Saw her coming in and left the lure in the water and kept it moving. She nailed it during one of the turns - so the quick change in direction could have triggered the strike. The 49" Patsy caught last year was a fish that followed my lure in. Went past once and was out of site, but I kept the '8' going and she came back. Went past my bait not once, but three times before she headed to the back of the boat - right where Patsy was finishing reeling in a cast and WHAM. Ya just never know.

My dad just got back from the Rideau and spent a couple days up there in Algonquin. The fall colors are indeed spectacular this year. They also brought back some great shots.

The rest of the week WILL go better. Some good news and we'll take all we can get,

Good to hear from ya Kelvin. We think about ya from time to time

Holly cow ... I didn't know you guys were heading back up again. Some great shots and one of these years I need to delay our trip a couple weeks and enjoy the great fall colors. They were just getting started when we were up a few weeks ago. Wishin I could have been up there with ya.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends

Nice. The world could use a lot more people like that.
