Nice Job man, sorry i had some confusion thinking that fish u had was the 5lb'r lol Great job, good to see you catching some big bass!! Nothin is better than a small feed of fish, I had my share of 1lb'rs cut up for a meal. Congrads and thanks for sharing, MTBF

Hello again everybody, i have not had a chance to read through the reports and threads yet so bare with me. I had a amazing time up in Eastern Ontario(35mins past the Smith Falls Exit on the 401) for these last 2 weeks. I caught/weighed 22 bass over 1.2lbs and pulled in 4 Bowfin and a nice sized pike for the area. After a quick calaulation and look at my organized weight/species/photo # chart i prepared my biggest 5 bass gave me a weight of 17.7lbs...better than last years bag or around 13lbs+ as i remember. So as in the title i got log's of pictures to share with you readers/viewers. We got out new boat fixed up and sea worthty, got a small motor and a battery, paddles, and carrying handles for out Thornes 12ft boat! It was a blast being able to stand up and cast and be safe and confident the boat was not going to throw me out of it. Now let me start with the photos: So, here is a shot of our waterfront "Village" where we had our tents and cooking area out behind my grandmas house- My little brother, Doug and I out on the boat for the first time...also a future OFC'r! Doug getting to try out driving- Now keep in mind these photos were shot all within a 2 week time frame so in no particular order here the rest of them come. Solo cruise into bass territory- Decent largie After about 5 hit/misses i landed my first bass on a frog...not a giant but a start! And with 1 comes 2! lol, as every report i try to include a animal picture...well here is something I'm sure everybody has seen- First "big" bass of the trip, 2.11 this fish was- For all you bowfin lovers out there here are some bowfin I pulled out of this lake during out trip- 5.11lbs 3.14lbs (Bad photo I know) 6.1lb PB Bowfin Thought I would slide in a photo my my Great Grandmother who had her birthday this trip and turned a astonishing 101 years old Thought I would throw in some Crappie's also before I get to the bass segment- The first And the Second On to bass...otherwise known as the best fish of freshwater Took my Dad out fishing and got him use to fishing weeds with my snakes largie on the snake(as many of the other fish) And another he caught on our outing Ok, back to me. Cool shot of a 1lb bass's throat with a small 3-4" perch it almost swallowed...keeping in mind the 7" snake it tried to eat! Average size bass And a long skinny bass Shot 2 Caught a lot of panfish on those shad shallow cranks by Rapala but this was a nice fish i pulled up trolling on the mouth of a bay Ran up to the shore to get a pic of this bass in the evening Perfect rod/lure shot Grass bass Shot 2 One of my 3lb range bass Catch And Release Photo my my younger cousin who i taught how to fish and well made her happy 3.4lb largemouth i caught on a skitter pop. Back to back bass Another high 2lb fish This was a very very good size smallie for this lake. I didn't even catch a second smallmouth so I was sure to get a photo and let this fish go....had to be 18-20" long. It weighed 3.4lbs and it was skinny. 3.9lbs of pure bucketmouth This was the 2nd best highlight of my trip was catching a pike. Always loved to catch pike and for here in a foot of water this was a grand catch! 3.5lbs it was but being so long in the fall this fish IMO could top 4lbs or so and well for such a small lake it brought a smile to my face, light line and no leader got this beauty in...also 1 of 4 fish we kept was this pike. Here is another pic of my cousin with a 2.10lb bass Now it's my time to shine. I went out to a deep water edge(30ft) off of a rock wall and threw out my snake as I was tying a lure onto another rod. Not expecting a hit something smashes my bait! After a hook set i was fighting this Trophy and not seeing it i thought i had to of had a pike on but to my boat came up a 21" long 15" girth 4.10lb largemouth bass...pure adrenalin and excitement came to my face. I also had the bass entered into the Wings Live Bait annual fishing tournament and as of now I have the second biggest largemouth bass! Thats right country fokes a Oshawa Boy came in and bumped you all down a spot That's right Team 4, 21" + Upcoming bonus points! Tournament weigh in sign- Here's a pic of our ride when it was full and dirty And a pic when of it empty and clean Thanks for reading everybody, Tightlines, MTBF EDIT* I gathered some statistics of the fish I caught. Now smaller fish were caught by my dad and brother and were not recorded but on the occasions when I went out I weighed and recorded. I have my best 5 bass, and a bass average I calculated using a Ounces to pounds equation. Main Weight/Species Chart 2nd Chart I read on my map of this lake that the average was between 1-2lbs....Guess there has been a rise.

Well I'm going tomorrow morning bright and early, looking forward to setting up. I might have access to a computer so i might check some of the reports out on OFC but I'm not going to expel any of my success... Again wish me luck and good weather, going to be expanding my knowledge even further using more and different baits...planning on trying a few lipless and more regular cranks, scum frogs, snakes(obviously), dingers, popers, buzzbaits, and well others as well I'm sure. Have a safe 2 weeks everybody and good luck fishing! MTBF Expect my biggest OFC report ever!

mud cat by the looks of it....

You and Paul sure do know how to have a great time on the water! Excellent report and pictures guys. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Nice job, Parry Sound holds many big fish, to bad you didn't get into any. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Topwater rules man, why do you think the fish's eyes are on top of there head...there system is designed to look up and BAM topwater can be the most productive technique going. No matter where I am if the option is to wake up early 5 O clock I'm up and fishing with a skitter pop or something similar. Cheers to Explosive fishing! MTBF

Solid fish man, never caught a mirror before. Congrads, MTBF

Huge bass man, congrads! I hope to get my first scum frog fish soon!! Thanks for the post, MTBF

Nice fish, guys! Is that bad for the battery to be sitting in H2O like that? Thanks for sharing, MTBF

I'm still puttin in 3 a day from me...parents are not "internet" smart yet lool. God luck man, I did the math before, if everybody could pitch in 1 vote you could win...now if they did it twice you would sweet the competion. Good luck mate, what's the prize?

Nice job man, I'm still looking for a big bass this year, other than that just a PB carp for me and a bunch of avg fish. Thanks for sharing dude, beauty Salmon! MTBF

Welcome man, Congrads on those nice bass...i tend to favor those among the other stupid species of fish If you can catch bass you can fish! Welcome aboard man! MTBF

Nice job, you'll get up in the standings next time. Your a great fisherman we believe in you! Thanks for sharing man, MTBF

Nice fishes man, smallies rule for open water fishing. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Sad to see no Musky but I'm sure you will hook up with one before the year is done, but kinda surprising to see average sized bass hitting those big baits lol. Thanks for sharing, btw how's the boat...sounded like some rubbing up against that culvert Tightlines, MTBF

Outstanding Report man, caught lot's of fish...some big fish had a good time what else could you want. O and I love that fly fishing shot!! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Good job out there, I'm sure they will be back for more! Nothing like catching a nickle or even bigger!! Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Nice job, too bad more didn't commit, and well at least you can add another bunch of things to ur Musky lure collection lol. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Nice ride man, and wow congrads on that Musky! Also like that action shot that was taken, Thanks for sharing, MTBF
