Tiny Tot Reels In Massive Muskie<BR>10/11/2007 <BR><BR> EAU CLAIRE, WI (NBC) -- A Wisconsin toddler has a whopper of a fish tale to tell. Nicolas Phillips recently reeled in a 42-inch muskie.<BR><BR> His parents say that fishing is one of the few things that will calm down the rambunctious 3-year-old. <BR><BR> "He doesn't get bored until around two hours go by," said Kelly Phillips, Nicolas' mom. <BR><BR> In the final minutes of a father-son fishing trip this weekend, Nicolas pulled in a catch worthy of any angler. <BR><BR> "I catched a big one!" Nicolas said, arms up showing just how big. <BR><BR> It was a 42-inch, 20-pound monster of a muskie, caught on the same pole the tireless tot now casts into branches in his backyard. <BR><BR> "He said 'Dad, I have a fish,'" said Nicolas' dad Wesley Phillips. "I could see the bobber next to the boat, and I waited for him to pull in the little fish. Then, I looked down and it was a big muskie." <BR><BR> Wesley wasn't really ready to reel in a fish the same size as his son. <BR><BR> The pole he was using was small, and was sporting a six pound test line. <BR><BR> Lucky for the father-son team, some nearby boaters lent them a hand and a net. <BR><BR> Nicolas knows where his muskie is headed. <BR><BR> "It's dead, we're gonna put it on the wall in our house," Nicolas said. <BR><BR> NBC <BR><BR> <embed src="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf" width="450" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="autostart=false&token=1a4_1192148992" scale="showall" name="index"></embed>

I watched the show last night. He was very good!! Thanks for the heads up.

Great report! Something is wrong here though....and I cant put my finger on it.... Oh wait!! I got it!!! There are actual pics with you holding fish!!! LOL. It's pretty cool seeing fish that we dont get up here...thanks for the report bro!

LOL...who would have figured? A fishing obsession...haha. I think we have all been there before....in order for us to avoid crowds at a favourite trib mouth, bly and I have dawned chest waders and walked out thru water to a sand bar, where we put our gear down, walk another 50 feet into the water and then cast 50 yards past everyone else standing on the shore. We've even brought our fold up chairs there to do some bottom fishing...hehe.

Wow...congrats!!! What a great PB!!! Enjoy every single moment....they grow up so fast. Cliff and Carole

Very cool Maureen! I've been watching ER since it began....I'll make sure to look out for him tonight.

Wow!!! Great report Mike....awesome pics...been a while since I've seen pretty fish like that. Next time your spidey senses tingle, let me know....LOL. Thanks for the invite...(esp after reading this report), but hopefully we'll hook up at a later date.

Great report!!! Looks like a great time was had by all. Tell your son to hold on to his GF....I love fishing with my wife....and I never have to come up with excuses to fish....cause she wants to be out there as much as I do!!

That was a great video! Better than some fishing shows I've seen. Great job!

Hey mepps....PM ALEX....he fishes down there. Not sure about the musky, but I know he surf fishes the ocean from time to time.

Beer doesn't cost $7.00 and the lineups at the bathroom aren't as bad either.

Wow...did you do a little research or did you have all that at the tip of your fingertips?? LOL. Guess he's not apolgizing anytime soon then.....

You just know the fish is saying "I knew I should have taken that right turn at Albuquerque" hehe.

Search underway after boat's distress call Oct 10, 2007 12:39 PM Rachel De Lazzer Emma Reilly Staff Reporter A search and rescue operation is underway on Lake Ontario today after the coast guard received a mayday call from a 20-foot aluminum fishing boat. According to Niagara Regional Police, one of the boat's occupants placed a distress call after the vessel collided with a water buoy. Police believe the call originated about 3 miles northeast of the Grimsby shore. Capt. Wayne Sinker with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton said that they do not know how many people were on the boat. "The harbours along that area were checked by the police to see if there were any vehicles parked there," said Sinker. "But they didn't find anything so we have no idea where it came from." Four coast guard vessels, two private vessels that were in the area, a Gryphon helicopter and a Hercules airplane from Trenton have been searching the waters all night and are still continuing. The marine unit of the Niagara Regional Police Service has added a 30-foot Hike vessel and a 26-foot inflatable boat to the search. Police are asking anyone with more information about the boat or its possible occupants to call 905-688-4111. Source: http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/265327
