Great stuff Mike! Now that you've had a great year, I'm sure you'll be out even more next year trying to beat it!

Mike...may have been a slow year for you, but to have your son with you on all those trips had to have been a bonus!!!! He's turning into quite the angler! That pic of you with the tiny little cat is my favourite pic of the year...LOL. Getting the new boat was a big bonus...don't worry, I predict some muskie and lake trout slime next year for you. Until then, I look forward to your ice reports...heck, I may even try that out this winter.... Great recap Mike! Hope to have the opportunity to fish with you in 2009.

Wow...incredible fish!!! Looks like he pike and walleye had the feed bags on...they are real beauts!!

Great report Rich!!! A fish is a fish....and I love to target those guys as well.

Nice work out there! Congrats on hooking into a few. That river makes my steelhead creeks look like tiny little dribbles of water...wait...they are...LOL. Great pics!

With the first few ice reports showing up and a few other ice related threads, it may be time for a refresher on a few things. For at least the past few years there have been posts that I thought were important that anyone venturing out on the ice should know. The first has to do with ice thickness...and the kind of ice there is.... The second is what to do if you fall through the ice. Here's a great video that has been posted in the past that everyone should watch before venturing out there. It could save your life. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Be safe everyone!!!!

Carole and I would like to help out too...PM sent.

ACK!! You were right about that being graphic!!! That fish is naked!!!!

Wow...an ice report already!!! Guess you did your year end report a day too soon?? LOL. Great specs!!!

The winter reports start a bit earlier this year! I remember back to those freezing cold days...and seeing a report from you in the past. Great job out there again...those browns look amazing!

My brother was driving on the highway and he witnessed it. Said he almost drove off the road at 100kph when it happened!!! Amazing stuff.

Never heard this before....how old are you guys??? LOL. The one I remember hearing growing up was similar.... "Good things grow-oh-oh in Ontario"

Are all the spots taken??? LOL Just when I thought a steelhead report couldn't get any better, you came up with part 1 and part 2!! Awesome job on the fish and the report Mike.

Now that's one heck of an intro!!! Some awesome fish there! Welcome...if you've been lurking, then you know a lot about us already. Good choice on joining and posting that intro. If you haven't seen it yet, check out our Anthem video....pretty much sums it all up...it features lots of OFC members.

Great work out there!!! That's hard core...but your persistence paid off...

WOW!! Fantastic! Some beautiful walleye and pike there. I can see why Juila's fish is one of your favourites too. She's quite the little angler there...with a great walleye to boot!!!! Great year in review...looked like a success on all accounts!

Details details....LOL. Guess you cant wait for both to be at school full time eh?

Sweet fish!!!! As far as the one that tried the escape...it happens to everyone...lol

Someone has another thread up asking about your part two...this is what I posted.... Do I know you or what?? LOL. Nice fish Mike...gorgeous fish!!! Was going to head out tonite, but I'm too tired to freeze my butt of out there.

He's off work on Thurs and Fridays....wanna bet he's out fishing and he'll be behind by two reports?? LOL.

I said you were king, not that I was the pi$$ boy.

Great pics as usual Paulus! Love seeing the ice along the edges too...adds character to the pics!

Oh sure....I read this when it's -9C outside (-17C with the wind chill). Nice fish...so sorry you had to put on a sweater....poor you...LOL. Keep posting thru the long winter Glen....keeps me looking towards spring!!!!

Great info Dan....thanks. PS. The cheque is in the mail...thanks for the plug....haha.

Wow...ya learn something new everyday. I'll have to give that a try...thanks Glen.
