  1. Alright...sounds easy enough. I've got some worm hooks (like the one in the pic) that are big, but hopefully they'll work. If not I'll just switch up to a circle hook. I think this is my last question (not sure if there's much else I could realistically ask), but were you doing a slow, steady retrieve, or jigging it or what? Thanks again!
  2. Awesome! She definitely looks bigger than 5lb, but looks can be deceiving, I suppose. I caught a 7lb-er at the end of last August (largie) but my parents just kinda laughed at me when I said I wanted to get it mounted. My family ate it without me while I was at university, so I didn't even get to taste it. To boot, my friend lost the pictures...so I only have my few friends and myself who saw it....it was a beast though!
  3. Thanks for the info! Also, if you don't mind me asking, did you just use a worm hook, or did you throw on some weights too (if so, just regular old round ones...or?). Like I said, I'm not at all familiar with fishing anything that's not live, so forgive me if some of my questions seem a little basic.
  4. Alright...sounds like a plan...but what's this wacky style rigging? Does anyone have a link or an explanation? As for the frogs...I only fish with them if I catch any where I'm fishing (which is usually at the cottage). I've never, ever seen them sold as bait, but like I said..they make DAMN GOOD bait!
  5. Wow...that's a beautiful pike! Definitely not a musky, but definitely nothing to sneeze at. As for him not knowing his fish...some people just can't seem to get them right.
  6. Wow...those are some beauties! Wish I had that kind of action anywhere near me at home! If someone doesn't mind explaining, what's this 'wacky style' rigging for the Senko and what Senko (if there are different kinds) would you guys suggest? I've only just started getting into fishing with non-live bait, so I'm kind of clueless when it comes to this stuff. PS - I love fishing with frogs, but the real thing. They are as far as I'm concerned the best bait there is, bar none.
  7. Boy, she sure is beauty! What'd she weigh in at? I bet you're gonna have a lot more friends at work now By the way, what'd you end up catching it with?
  8. My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family, Wayne. It's always heartbreaking to lose someone, but especially at such a young age. My thoughts are with you, Salomon
  9. Haha...that was pretty good. It's surprising how distinct some of the shapes actually are! With regards to that chicken....boy is that nasty. I wouldn't put myself through something like that even if hell froze over.
  10. Wow...that's awesome...I was out on the grand (and also for a bit on some nearby ponds) from about 4-8:30pm and not much seemed to be biting. Got a few small ones, but those were few and far between (and mostly from the pond). We saw a lot of carp, but couldn't get them to bite. Seems like Victor and I are gonna have to head out to the Kitchener Grand next time, because in Waterloo it's just not cutting it. Any publically accesible areas you would suggest (just in general..I don't need exact spots). Night fishing is amazing! Everytime I'm up at the cottage I make a point of night fishing. The view (the sky full of stars and the lake lit with the candlelight-like lights of the cottages across the lake) is amazing, and the sounds of nature and water are awesome too! It definitely doesn't hurt that there are some MONSTER fish to be had at night...it just takes getting used to fishing with no sight. The bugs are a pain and the bats always go after my line/rod.
  11. Thanks for the pictures and the report! Looks like a beautiful location and looks like there's some great fishing to be had as well judging by some of those beauties! I bet they make for a great meal!
  12. Wow...sounds like a great time (and a beautiful location as well)! That pike's a beauty...you've taught him well! It's too bad he didn't get a picture with the fish, but he's still young so I predict many more years and many more beautiful fish!
  13. Looks like some some great fishing (just look at those smiles!)! Those are some nice fish too....I can just taste those walleye now!
  14. Thanks for the advice Marko! It just so happens that I like to keep my drag fairly loose anyways. The way you guys are making carp fishing sound makes me wonder what I've been doing these past 19 1/2 years. If you (or anyone else) have any suggestions/advice for tackle and/or general locations in the area for some carp fishing, I'm all ears!
  15. Sounds like a plan! I've never targeted carp specifically (don't have the tackle for it) although I've had one or two hooked before. Depending on the size of the fish and what kind of fish I practice C&R, but I do LOVE to eat fish and so if the fish is a good size I will often keep it. I've very rarely had the 'problem' of catching so many big ones that I need to start letting them go. Also, I am looking forward to these fights because you make them sound pretty good. Someone will have to help me with getting the right tackle though because I only have a slight idea of what to buy. PS - I'm living at UWP. Let me know if you guys have anything planned soon or if you'd like to get something going, because I'd love to!
