Since we are on the topic of easy fish to catch. Lets talk about a fish that returns to to same river every year. If thats not easy pickins I dont know what is.

Well done on the walters and musky. That Cliff dude is everywhere ! Is there a fish he cant catch ?

Looking good guys ! Looks like you guys have become trout addicts. Some nice fish for sure

Please excuse my ignorance but what or who is the OP ? Im serious, please answer

I just read this and seem to think that I had something to do with it. My apologies if I have offended you on your last post.

Good goin Scott. Goodbye trout, hello bass !

well done guys. I will take a bass report any time of year ! The fish look very plump.

Im just bustin your balls Kemper. That is a rather large caudal peduncle. You know its big when you cant get your hands around it

Hey guys, Every once in a while my old man sends me some pictures from relatives in Finland. Its always fun exchnaging pics over seas. These pictures were from last month from a relative that spends quite a bit of time fishing in Lapland.Im not much of a trout guy and have not researched this fish but Im guessing some kind of Char ?

What the heck happened to your thumb ? You could play hockey with that thing !

SGP, the gl2 is the new series that just came out this year. The nice guys at Gagnons in Oshawa let me take a gl2 on a broken crucial warranty because they didnt have the same length and action as the one I was replacing. ( yes, I broke 2 crucials this year ) Anyways, if I had to pick one rod , I would pick the 2012 crucial over the 2012 gl2. I was a bit sceptical about the foam grip and the split grip but have gotten used to it and like the feel. I like the cork grip of the gl2 but I like the guides and componants of the crucial. Its nice to have one of each. Both rods double as pike rods for throwing larger jerk baits. I love em both but I cuddle with the crucial at night time.......Um I mean, I like the crucial more.

Thats a great quote ! Can I use it sometime ? I use flouro lots of time but not all the time. Mostly just leaders for bass (12#), trout(4-6#) and pike (50#) Thousands of pro fisherman that fish for millions of dollars all use flourocarbon line. I doubt that its just because they are sponsored

I was thinking of recently doing a post on the new Crucials. I had broken my 7'2" ex heavy flipping stick and replaced it under warranty with the new 2012 crucial 7'2" heavy flipppng stick and absolutly love it. The new guides, foam grip and real seat are very comfortable in my hands. The sesitivity is great. i use this for mainly jig and pigs. Im also using a GLoomis GL2 7'1" worm and jig rod for worms and small jigs. I have only used it a few timess but it feels great. Im not sure about the warranty on the Loomis rods but the Shimano warranty is great. I have both rods set up with Curados.

I just dug up this photo from the first time I used the Jig Wobbler. A small pike that crushed it. The lure has been a pretty good producer since then. I think they retail for about $10. Quality componants too.

I actually have quite a few of them and they are pretty deadly. They come in a couple of different sizes and colours. I am going to lend them out to my ice fishing friends and see how the work through the ice. Looks like they could work well on lakers.

Some giants there. Nice fish and welcome.

Nice chromers. It is something special when they smoke a fly. You and your apprentice are doing quite well.

Good job guys ! some quality fish for late November. That fish in your avatar looks huge.

When Musky Mike gets a P.B. it must be good ! congrats on a stellar day out there !

Can I come with you ? I can hide in a suitcase or something. Im getting sick of this rat race too. Goood luck to ypu and your wife.
