DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NIce polkadots man!

Sorry dude. You have a " I gotta cut the grass" look

HAHAHAH ! Dude best pic ever . to bad the polkadots had lockjaws!

Wow.

 

Thanks for sharing that.

 

"something that was kept ''secret'' a story of pure stupidity"

 

I could not imagine the feeling of being on or near water, knowing I could not swim. And the fact that you jumped in the water, knowing you could not swim. What the hell man..... I bet you've been flamed really really hard over the years be people when you tell them that story! Rightfully so. One of the stupidest things I have ever herd in my life...

:clapping:

i would never jump in the water for no reason.................... unless like you guys say you never know....... i mean this BASS was a huge fish you guys know me by now «????? i mean i post enough QC report here for you to know i catch some nice bass. but this one was a seriouse 7 lbs fish it jumped twice. a SUBMARINE ... a true PIG... OINKER ..... A SMALL GOAT!

a reflexe does not pass threw the brain. i did not think about jumping ion the water. when i say that i lost the fish the white big-o came popping out of the water and the fish was right there within hands reach......... my body flew in the water .......

its was pure instinct.....................

and 1-2 minutes goes fast but when your on the high way to dying it goes in slow mo. when mike jumped i knew ......

thannks for the great replies and stories .

keep them comming.

i know im not the only one here that that had these types of thing happend to him.

speak up i want to hear about them. learn about the dangers and stay away from them the only way to know is to talk about them.

Kevin,

Thanks for telling us your story. I have one that I have never told on here before. Please excuse me from hijacking your thread but here it is.

 

In 1974 my oldest brother (Brent) drowned at the age of 4. He fell into a fast moving creek when he walked away from my father who was distracted for a moment. IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT! They thought he had been abducted but was found downstream hours later. My mother was pregnant with me at the time and my older brother (Trevor) was 2 yrs. old.

 

My parents later had a 4th son (Neil) and he is 2 years my younger.

 

All 3 of us surviving Buchmann boys were certified lifeguards and swimming instructors. It was not an option. Our mother would have it no other way. I personally saved 4 people from drowning in our local pool. Included in those was a mother and 4 year old son who were drowning each other in panic (called "double clutch"). As a result of my training I also saved a boy from choking by using the heimlich maneuver in our hiugh school cafiteria. Pretty sure Brent helped me out in those instances.

 

My boys are now 10 and 4. They are both excellent swimmers for their ages. However, I was terrified to learn that last Saturday my 10 year old retrieved a soccer ball from a fast moving creek here. He did not get wet but got an earfull from me.

 

 

Kevin....PLEASE get swimming lessons. There are sessions for adults to "learn to swim" at your local pool. If you know others who can't swim get them to go with you. Drownings are seldom unpreventable.

 

May 6th would have been Brent's 42nd birthday. I never met him but always miss him.

 

With the greatest respect.

thank you for your great story , this was 3 years ago and im not the best swimmer but iv learnt the basic. i wont be able to swim long distances but i can swim now, the probleme with my story is that i was fully dressed. jeans are heavy in the water. and i only weight 135 lbs with no fat to help me surface im like an anchor .... i know you will say eveyone can float but for me its harder . i swear ill get lessons. thanks

Wow, I feel for you and your brother. Like you, I soon discovered no fish is worth our life. I have taken more than my fair share of stupid stunts. The phrase comes to mind "It'll never happen to me".

 

Last year, i opted to stay on an island overnight instead of doing the stupid stunt of driving my boat in gale force winds. the good news is, we are still here to talk about it. The year before, I thought we were done for out in the middle of the lake. I still have 2 stress cracks above the water line in my boat as a reminder

 

Glad things worked out OK for you. I think you owe your brother an apology, as did i with my good fishing buddy.

 

Cheers, Ron...

you got that right ron , we think we can do anything anytime anywhere. well we cant!

—

You spend your entire spring flipping bitsy bugs for crappies and WGSF to scratch the itch

thats the best idea iv heard in years thanks

OFC > f-h .

After the sunfire ''clearing a path'' for me .

i decide to take advantage of the new ''trail'' and go fishing in the remote lakes.

first day i went with my dad.

NOTHING NADDA ZILTCH KAPOOTE NONE NEGATIVE!!!

tried 2 lakes and nothing.....

the same night paul (whitespinnerbait) calls me and he is about the brute he got in the lake right beside the ones we tried.

WELL LADDY DA!

day 2 .

start of the day with a shower.

Then back to specks.

run through the beaten paths hoping not to get a flat tire from broken shards of glass.

portage to the lake . and there it is . speckled trout heaven.

:worthy:

these trout are feeding on leeches , minnows, flies, rock worms............ i mean everything!

Pure Sings of Health!

But do you think said Sunfire might suffer a trifling amount of damage enroute, perchance??

The sunfire IS damaged..... i think the word is Totaled!

a sun fire could make it!

Looks pretty much like a remote area to me......how's the road conditions leading to this lake?

Lol Bunk, Kevin is king of the EAP.

That being said,great outing guys and still nice fish.You can't cut it any closer than that.

Good first pic. You should frame it. Cheers

EAP is a skilled that only men weighing 135lbs can master!!

AHAHHA!

this ictuer is hands down the best picture iv ever seen . i mean look at the subject man , its perfect! :worthy:

that first shot should be in a magazine! Fantastic!

Late ice calls for new matters.

Use your boat as an ice breaker , make a trail , cast in the trail of broken slush/ice chunks ............. repeat!

in the a.m.'s we only had a small channel..........at 5 p.m. we hand a small like size erea to fish!

now its 23:42 p.m. and tommorow is specks...........

AT 5 A.M.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pike fishing has just begun and the tip-ups were going all over the place.

Today was a mix of perch, bass and pike.

The action was on and off. but the jiggin action was steady.

20-30 perch were caught.

and a dozen bass. 3 1/2lbs beeing the big one.

We ended the day on a seriouse note.

This pike was a seriouse fighter hand down the best TOE to TOE fighter out there.

some would call him M.M.A stuff.

in the end hes going to be our new year supper!

:jerry:

Much more to come stay tuned.

You bet Ron I'd much prefer put in 16 hours in the blind then work thats for sure Awesome that your friend was able to bag an 8 pointer... well deserve high five from me

 

I still have a full week of hunting left... just hope I can set my sights on something like this... buck from my 2008 season... would make me very happy

 

lache pas la patate mon jaques!

defenetly going to learn to fizz.

just started to fish in the deep.

not a minute to soon to learn new things about fishing!

now just have to catch more and practice. :Gonefishing:

A couple of nice chunks Kev You seemed to have the upper hand on those fins this year

Keep them reports coming and thanks for sharing!

Jacques

Thanks fellow angler!

are you anxciouse for the ice JAQUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we will go for gators this winter land you a 15 lbs pike

what do you think MANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very, very nice pike and you definitely have bass dialled in ! I should head back to Quebec again. first dance with pike on fly was on Lac Maskinongé years ago.

in perkins ?

Large Mouth Bass Has Been a Blast for me..

But lest we forget.

The pike are agressive this time of the year.

getting ready for winter.

there Huge feed bags .

and the True size of a canadian northern pike!

This fish Ripeed a 1 1/4 onze spinner bait to shreds.

with a bass net. it had to be folded in half to fit .

I didnt expect two Brutes like these today.

Considering it was a Small mouth frenzy day!

Over size was the key! :worthy: :worthy:

might hit this lake a couple more times befor the season ends.

stay tuned

Length is surprising - my old man pulled a 23.5" smallie from Buckhorn a few years back and it didn't even break 6lbs. Was a bit of a snake, and its best days were probably behind it... might have been record material at one point in her life.

it depends on how the fish are built man.

i cought some fish that were built like a tank like the ones in this report dude 18-20 ''

a 19 '' is a nickel a 20 '' is a 6 lbs bass.

then i fished another lake

bass are built like WUSS.

HUGE HEAD you can fit two knuckles in them.

but the body bro no girth. snake type of a fish.

a 20 is a nickel a 22 '' is a 6 pound bass.

like a musky its all in the girth.

the lengh has nothing to do with what th efish will weigh.

ITS ALL IN THE GUT!

look at a 5,6 male with a beer gut chances are hes 300 lbs

im 5,6 and i weigh 135 lbs

think about it.

Very easy to access the lake in question, But it's a Lake trout lake ( a good size one at that ) with maybe a dozen or so cottages...........and none of them seem interested in fishing

when you talk to the locals about fishing bass they think your stupid for even trying for them! :whistling:
