If anyone sees them again remember to hurt their feelings. lol.

I voted no at first but then changed to Leaf's suck.

I don't know what you mean by this, care to explain???

FISH ON!!! and, The Ol Diamond Back Sturgeon by Primus, just because of the lyrics. That "I'm Going Fishing All the of the time and my baby's going fishing too," song at the intro of "Going Fishing," but then, at the end of the same show they have that different "Going Fishing" song. On any given day either one will be humming in my head as I'm touring up river in the boat. lol Travelling Riverside Blues by Zeppelin is likely my longest running and favorite going fishing song. At the same time, whenever I hear it it reminds me of taking off in a plane on the runway at the airport in Moosonee.

Bren usually manages meals such as pasta, meatloaf, stirfry and such. I handle the meat, fish and potatoes. In the end, it's a pretty even split. We're both shiftworkers.

The bright side of having a kidney stone is, if the wife ever uses that old "well I went through childbirth.. etc... you don't know what pain is" line in a fight, you really do have the right to tell her to get lost. lol. I worked a urology floor a few times... one of the few places RN's actually just carry morphine around in their pockets.

So you marinate it to the color, texture and taste you want. lol. If it's good enough for Capn' Highliner to vaccuum pack, freeze and send all the way to us high society folk here in the Moose, well, it's good enough for you. lol. EAT IT.

8 pm's!!!!! ONLY 8!!!!! Again, good for you. You're obviously at an easily accessible spot to anyone.... the shore. lol. You're thread will reach far and wide posted here. Give it away once, twice, and there it goes..... snowballing downhill for you everytime you go there afterwards. Your good hardwork and time paid off for you. PM sent. kidding.

Smoked two guys and a woman in the eye before. Never been hit there myself. lol, OMG, lol. Ohhhh yeah, don't think it's good to be "continuing" to lose vision that many days later. Should get it checked out dude.

Where I have seen these two yahoos before.....? Again KC, impressive. Now, I never asked before, but, did you keep any of those dogs for the table???

Ha!!!! This report is funny. I'm reading it wondering and waiting who will finally ask.... "Where were ya fishing???" Gotta be killing some of yas not to know. Great report, good night out. How many pm's are ya up to know???

Bumper to bumper out there I tell ya. School kids in one chopper going back and forth, hospital patients and employees in another. Air ambluance buzzing around too. Commercial planes Air Creebec and Thunder Air taking business folk, vacationers, and people south for Xmas shopping. De Beers privately flying their people and supplies back and forth from the Victor Project. The skies can get hectic..... but at least were above the heavy Moosonee/Moose Factory smog. How's the drive on the 401 these days. Worked nights, so, pic is leaving Moosonee at 8am to head home to the island. Lots of ice down there. Not soooo much ice in the main channel, collector lanes were jammed tight though. Island ponds are solidifying. Scenery on the trip was OK I guess. traffic was bad. Strangely, the sun on this trip was in my eyes no matter if I looked east, west or south. The ride was a nerve-racking, sky-raging, gonna-be-late push to get home that took about 5 minutes, and it really was wierd to me that the suns position was where it was in some of my photos. Coming down to earth we managed to find a parking spot. Had to parallel park it between all the other vehicles. The pilot flipped some idiot the bird when the guy tried to cut into our spot. Even though I laughed about that, the morning commute can really be hard some days.

That my lad was a special kind of report. Helping Gramps land "his" first bow...... awesome. Feel good report, great fish, congrats.

Luckily sturgeon, sockeye, chinooks, pinks, cohos, bows, dolly varden, cutthroat, sailfish, marlin, mahi mahi, wahoo, roosterfish, grouper, yellowfin, bonitos, permit, jacks, mackerel, needlefish, lake trout and maybe even a brown trout all are possible in the coming year. The usual pike and eyes are a good bet as well. What I really want is a brookie over 5 lbs and an arctic char. Wouldn't say no to a first muskie though.

Great job fellas. Some good fish in some crap conditions.

Can't win 'em all Copper. You'll rebound I'm sure. lol

Great outing guys. Congrats to you on your awesome day fishing them eyes.

Great day for sure man. And some eater size too, that's uncommon I'm told. lol.

Sharp spines down the backs of these fish, especially the smaller ones. Use a glove or towel if handy, and tail it. If it's a big fish, once tailed roll it over in the water belly up then stick your hand right in it's mouth. Log roll it into your arms and into the boat. Keep it subdued and don't let it thrash about in the boat so to hurt itself.

Here's a story behind the fish. The guide is definetely "FishWhisperer" Asger Michaelsen with his 11 ft. trophy sturgeon On Nov.16, 2006, we have hooked, landed, tagged and carefully released one of the largest sturgeon EVER caught in the Fraser River. In our last fishing report, we mentioned a group of die-hard sturgeon fishermen from our tour operator in Denmark, Atlantik Travel www.atlantiktravel.com This group - on their last day - wrote a piece of fishing history... When the group arrived from Denmark last week, we were approached by the group leader and asked for a very patient guide, as 3 anglers in their group could neither hear nor speak. I replied to him, that all our guides are patient, as fishing is not a job, but a lifestyle for them. He looked around at all the guides present and into the room walked Kevin, a guide of few words. His nickname is "The Fishwhisperer" (thanks for the name, Carolyn Hansen). I said "here is your guide, the 3 of you don`t talk, Kevin doesn`t either - perfect". They hugged and up they went. I`ve learned, that, after every sturgeon they`ve landed, it was "hugging time" - approx. 20 times per day average. This was their way of saying "thank you". All guides, John, Steve and Kerry, did exceptionally well, landing lots of fish and lots of big fish, but the biggest smile was mostly with "Asger Michaelsen", "Jornaa Pedersen" and "Bjarne Toft Loholt". It was in the afternoon, as Kevin called me on my speaker phone: "we just hooked a big one" ... "OK", I replied, "how big?" ... "big..." (remember, a man of few words). That`s as much information as I could get out of him. Knowing Kevin, I knew, that`s a serious fish. Almost 3 hours later, Kevin called again with the stunning news; The Sturgeon has a total length of 329 cm or less than a fingertip short of 11 ft. with a girth of 136 cm, that`s over 4.5 ft. around. We estimate the fish at 120 years old with a realistic weight of 750 to 800 lbs. The sturgeon was measured, tagged, photos taken and released carefully and unharmed. The fish was hooked and fought by "Asger Michaelsen" for 2 hours and 53 minutes - all by himself without any help. Asger is a strong man, but this fish took his toll on him.

The Kincardine fish is a hoax. That fish was actually caught by a group chartering out of Chilliwack on the Fraser River. The fish was taken just outside of Mission BC late last fall. It's a steel-welded jet boat in the pic. How often do you see those in this area??? The fish I posted was sent to me in an email only a few days ago by the owner of Fraser River Fishing Lodge. I was told who the guide was, when the fish was caught, and given the particulars as to it's length. The guide who caught this fish was the same guide who took this pic for me in 2004. Here's the link to where the pic is kept now. http://www.fraserriverlodge.com/images/gal...turg160_lrg.jpg The guides out there generally use 80-120lb test, 10/0 hooks and a variety of baits to match the forage of the season. The sturgeon are protected now, but, endangered I don't know. About 15 years ago huge fish were washing up on shore dead. I remember reading an article on this. It was a scare to some folks out there as it couldn't be explained why. Now, on the Fraser, there are supposedly about 450 guides, most w/e warriors, who will charter for these fish. I remember one guide telling me his best day was 36 fish, the same guide who chartered for the fish in this thread, and, who has also caught a 10 and 9.4 footer this season. The Ontario record 168lb would likely be about the same size as the fish in this very post. This fish being a "white," the Ontario fish being a "lake" sturgeon. Not much seems to be studied about Lake sturgeon and there really is no active/consistent fishery. In the St. Lawrence, Lake O, and parts of the Ottawa River, one could actually hook an Atlantic sturgeon which could be bigger than a lake sturgeon's max size. If you google Ontario sturgeon fishing you might come across a site that charters for the Ogoki river area on the Albany watershed. They claim their fish to be white sturgeon. It's my opinion that they would be wrong.

A 3.29m (just under 11 feet) leviathan caught 2 days ago by a Fraser River Fishing Lodge guest. Can't imagine that fight.

Hello. I'm vain. I want to see myself here.
