Oh man, shoe-goo will fix your current boot no prob! As for the new boots, there are some good sealants out there too to spray on a few coats and you are good to go. just reapply more the more often you wear them.

Me too and....

and again!

does anyone make soft plastic grub's?

Did you try The Fishin' Hole?

maybe the two belly's combined he had to? Sorry Dave, I had to...

caught on Tobin Lake in Saskatchewan.

I hope that there aren't any wasp's there...

So sorry to hear about this Simon and family!

I swear you are in China right now... go do something!

I have had the ugly stik and the berkley and the Shimano rod's and I say go with the Shimano Voltaeus! I landed a 45" musky on a Med 7' rod the other day (not targeted) and the grip is a cork wrap. I hate the foam garbage they throw on rod's now... PS, the berkley is my back-up back-up rod...

I bet by the end of Feb. you will have been out on the ice...

Dana, try spiderwire in moss green. it's round and casts well.

the nanofil is a good line but I'm sticking with my spider-wire when it comes to light braid.

haters, you all just wish you were there...

Thanks all, I think... Come smell the net or take a DNA (or is it ESA or MSA?) sample off the net. I can get the jig out it killed and post a pic of it if needed...

Dave, did you shrink? That SMB looks like a tank and bigger than a 6.10 with your big old smile.

nice report and we still need to get out B!

Well thanksgiving has come and gone and this is one that I will remember for a long, long time. We went to my folks place on the lake Saturday afternoon. So I take off for an hour to get some fishing in trying to get me a nice fresh walleye for dinner. No dice. All I caught was just bass… I gave up and went back to the cottage. As the day was turning to evening I figured I would give it one last shot. Packed my jigging rod in the boat and set off to find me a walleye or two. After a few more bass I get a solid thump. I’m thinking, oh man here’s either a huge fall smallie or a real hog of a walleye! It’s now getting dark out and hard to see but as I look down all I see is a massive tail as the fish is heading under the tinny. I’m about 250/300 feet away from the cottage, I can hear them talking and sure enough when I see the tail “Oh damn it’s a huge Musky!” was sort of how it went. Lucky for me the kids’ didn’t hear that… Here I am fighting the biggest musky I have ever seen in this lake (and I’ve seen a few sight fishing for them at opener!) on a cheap spinning combo with 12LB nanofil line!! The fish decided to take one last run as I reach for the net and I’m lucky my drag was set just right. It took about 45’ of line out as it mad it’s dive away from the boat. I managed to get all that line back rather quick, get the net ready and land it! This fish was AMAZING looking!!!! I got it unhooked in the net in the water and was reaching for my b.berry to take a pic when it decides to do a death roll in the net. It had part of the net in its jaw so being the rookie musky guy that I am I went for the pliers to help free the fish, D’OH! Down they go to the bottom of the lake… So I get the fish freed up and think, ok, now is it pic time? I bring it in the boat and get it ready, no chance as I almost lost the phone and now I had the fish out for 20 seconds and said the hell with it, the fish going back means more to me! So now the fish is back in the lake and I’ve got it by the tail, only cause that’s the safest place to hold it in my mind! I get the tape measure out and I’m ready to see how big this amazing, gorgeous green monster is… I have the tape hooked (well laying) in front of its nose and just as I’m getting to the tail and reading between 43 and 45” long it decides it’s spent enough time with me… So I call it a night and head back in to be questions by everyone “where is the fish?” and further comments like “we could hear you but not clearly and we could see you with the net, what happened to the fish?”. To my reply of it was a musky, I had to let it go! Sure enough the “well, where are the pic’s of it?” came out and then I had to educate them on how fragile they are and that I wasn’t going to drag it back to the cottage for a pic as I would have killed it doing so. Needless to say my wife and father are the two that had seen me with the net standing in the boat and a ‘big fish’ in it as it went from dusk to dark. It was my last fish for 2011 from that lake because I decided to end my season there on a high note. Thankfully I had the huge net with me or all I would have is the memory of the big fish that got away… Thanks for reading. Geoff

sounds like me on Sat. 12LB nanofil on my med action jigging rod right as it got dark. I'll post a report rather then say more here. Nice "ooops"!!!

I say REPEAT this year. there, i said it... as I sit hear wearing a Leafs shirt today... I admit, it's either Boston or... Canucks...

with luck, me and my kids will be doing the same later today and maybe tomorrow. nice pic's!

correct. I have caught a musky off a pier in the whitby/oshawa area on a 5 of D but I would never target them there.

mon ami! (dang, did I spell it right? )

Your a tripple bagger... HAHAHAHA
