I'mHooked

They just played the clip on City TV a moment ago. There were definitely some good voices.

So most importantly Dave, What are you screemin' around in now?

What's Dave been using for a ride since?

...and here's the old man with one of his favourites: Just a little foggy!

Here's the happy father-in-law with one of his catches. If that's not the smile of someone who's having a ball I don't know what is! Yes Frankie, Paul is without a doubt a knowledgable guy! I'm looking to try the Glen as well myself Solo,...I guess it'll be a while though until the river clears up after all this rain. I've officialy caught more Browns than all other trout combined! (Only 3 seasons under my belt) Wouldn't mind uping the ratio of Chrome though.

Got out with Paul this past Saturday, and what a day it was! Me, my father & father in-law cut our way through the fog to meet Paul at the ramp. Thank goodness for GPS on the river, as we couldn't see 20 feet in any direction from the boat! We boated 14 beauties out of 20-22 hook-ups. (I'm blaming the mid-80's FIL for the poor ratio! ) The break down: 1 beauty out of season Laker I brought in (36"+). (As was out of season, was dehooked boatside with only quick lift for photo of my BEST EVER!), 2 nice Steelies, including 1 fall spawner that had the nicest Red stripe down the side, and 11 Beauty Browns As I'm lousy with figuring out multiple pictures, Here's one of the nice hens: I'd love to share the laker pic as well, but it is OOS, so another time. My dad & I had a nice double header with twin Browns. Both got netted same time same net. Was kind of fun. I was mad at myself as well, as the nicest Chrome Steelie I've seen (with my limited experience) was almost at boatside after a nice long run when I over powered a little and broke off the leader. Well doesn't she decide to do 2 complete aerial displays within 20 feed of the boat with the secret fly hanging out of it's yap that Paul & I saw, as Paul was saying "Man, that sure was a nice fish...too bad!" ARGHHH! Was definitely the best fishing experience I've really had to date. (Next to catching dozens of Rock Bass & smallies with my 10 year old son of course!) Any time one of you seasoned shore Steel-Headers wants some company, I've got some really nice Brown Roe ready to go! I'm Hooked!

On some of the fishing shows filmed on the Detroit river I'm sure I've seen people fishing from a wall/pier along the river side Looked to be a downtown type of area. I'd head down to the water front and see what's going on. Maybe strike a conversation with people fishing the wall and see what they're using and trying to catch. I think I recall Walleye being something to catch there.

As an ex-footballer, that is hilarious! I remember our coaches coming up with the occasional 'spoof' type play that always produced at least once per game when attempted. It was always a hoot watching the other team in their disbelief. That was a good one!

He's definitely a good guy to talk to. Was mighty good of him.

No problem Wayne. As someone who's let there Cat 3 Medical expire , I pay attention to others with similar interests! As a proud new owner of a Humminbird unit for the ice, I was paying attention to that as well! (I'd be happy to show it off with BOTH of you on the hardwater sometime! ) Your daughter sounds like a real fighter!

Sorry for your family's pain right now. Make sure you do what you can to get her pulling those lakers through the ice this winter with you!

What amazing detail!

Man, we were catching 12-14 pounders out of Picton last weekend and they put up a fight! I can't imagine one the size of yours! Nice catch!

Perfect! I just watched the Nia. River episode. Thanks!

Hey, I watched that again. This is a family board! What's that cat doing in the back ground! Sicko!

Well maybe there is hope for me yet with video! I don't think it could be done much easier then that. I wouldn't have guessed it was as simple as the way you've shown. Does it work as well when you've got something 8-15lbs tugging on your rod? Thanks.

Hey Simon, looks like you've got your own piece of tranquility up there! I'm curious about your video setup. It looks like you've maybe got a small camera clipped to your hat or headgear or something? Care to share what you're filming with & how you were managing while reeling?

Nice Smallie. Any leaves on the trees our are they close to bare yet?

No ZZ Top fans? Velcro Fly baby! Hmm... Why is that my wife has changed all my pant zippers to Velcro? Son of a Gun!! That's why I can never find her when needed!

Nice Cowanjo! That looks like the ultimate in surf fishing! Hey, you're Australian, do you know those guys? The surfing baitors have got to have some stones!

Hey Mark, yah I guess Lloyd was telling us just as you guys were walking down to the dock. Said he spooked the crap out of them and they ran with a rod but he thinks they pitched in the water. I should have gotten a picture of Cowanjo's big bass he "reeled in" What was it, about 6"? What farts & pee?

Thanks, yes I needed to get my hands on some of these golden gems I've only read about! It was fun, and the company did make it enjoyable. Thank goodness the other guys weren't real jerks either! I think we all kind of agreed we could see doing this again together.

No kidding with the knife! Yikes! I wouldn't want to be on a "just grabbed one of Lloyds rods and ran" end of the knife situations! He thinks they tossed one in the drink when crapping them selves as they split. Yes was definitely fun. Gotta love the little Blue "juice" jug that stays on the rear deck...Definitely have to make sure you're poinedt in the right direction so the wind doesn't spray your neighbours! I think Mark reached the "high water" mark on it! Going to pan fry up some fillets tonight!

This absolutley HUGE cutting board makes these 32+ lbs of fish look small by comparison!

Cowanjo with his nice 'eye.
