Wish our politicians had the stones to make that kind of decision. Kudos to them for being proactive.

He's a pretty tough old bird, and someone who I have a great deal of admiration for. He told me flat out today he'll be fishing next month and I believe him.

The table and the couch would be cool in my cottage, definitely not the house. Neat but kind of kitschy.

Wow that's horrible! Have heard of this happening a number of times over the years, it's always a risk. From one dog lover to another you guys have my sympathies. That's a tough way to lose a dog.

Really? Not that I care one way or another but that's not what I read: "During the late afternoon, after most of the boats had left for the day, we were trolling along and found yellow floating marker. You know, the old school way of marking a location where you caught fish or mark stucture. I picked it out of the water and it was broken in the middle so I assumed that someone just left it there.. I decided to bring it aboard and dispose of it properly." By the sounds of things there were no other boats anywhere near this broken floating marker.

What I find surprising is the number of people who've said the op did wrong by picking up the marker. On the other side of the coin I use floating markers all the time myself but wouldn't dream of leaving one unattended on a busy body of water. Who does that? I never have and never will. Why would anyone want to advertise a spot they'd marked to every other boat on a busy body of water? If I saw one unattended on a busy body of water, broken no less, I'd probably pick it up too.

That's exactly what I have been doing, and in a very big way.

Brush it off, it's not worth it. Without naming names, a couple of years back an outfitter at one of the airbases actually made my then 8 year old daughter burst into tears (there's a story behind this). It's the first time in a very long time that I actually wanted to hit another human being and I'm glad I didn't because it's simply not worth it. You did nothing wrong imo.

For sure, probably $1400 anyway. My guess on both would be $2200. Nice prize, congrat's!

Beautiful fish!!

Right on, looks like a fun day!

Cool. FWIW there is back lakes in that area with walleye.

Those are some pretty great highlights, wow! I'd love to hear what type of structure you fellas targetted. Cheers

Hi Dana, glad to see you're doing well. Great video!

HAHAHA! Not sure why but I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. Sure buddy, I'll bring some "chaga" along to Mojikit.

Looks a pretty great day, love the back lakes up there!

Reminiscent of my grandad on my moms side. He lived to be 92 and ate whatever he wanted and smoked his entire life. When I asked once what his doctor thought about his eating habits he said "Don't know, my doctor is dead!!!"

You guys are all going to die young of heart attacks.

Wicked!

Looks awesome bud! Will there be more and larger windows facing the lake?

Like many have said Jen was a huge inspiration. Thoughts and prayers from both myself and my wife Joanne.

Something just......hatched. Lock your doors.

Thanks for the responses guys! I posted this the evening before I left for Esnagi and looking at it now I'm appalled at the number of spelling mistakes LOL! Hey Mitch I'm sure Bonar would be good. The only advantage with Medhurst is I could give you some detailed info on where to find fish. It's a really nice camp, no doubt about that! The vast majority of my trips in this region are 4 nights. The drive from the Hammer is easy and 4 full days of fishing on most of those small lakes is more than enough for me. Any longer and I start to go stir crazy from boredom LOL! Very, very kind words, thank you!

(there are other options besides the one I mentioned to you in that price range as well)

Actually Adam, we had one really crappy day with lots of rain and another windy unsettled one. Only 2 of the 4 were great. Weird about the Chaga thing on the radio for sure!! Just realized that none of my videos appeared when I originally posted this, they're up now. If someone can fix the non bolded text in the second half of the post that would be nice. I tried and can't.
