Thanks folks! She's surprised them all so far, they expected a couple nites in ICU almost totally sedated, but was put into a normal floor room at 3 am. She's been talking since she came out of surgery and is fully coherant and chipper!

Good news!!!

Is this happening on the 23rd of July?????

Yes sir!

What can I say...excellent "character" development, spectacular photography, wicked fishing, adventure, happy and sad (sorry about the 12 year old niece, tragic) moments.

Today is the last day I start my somewhat later shift, and, what better way to enjoy my later start than to read this amazing report!!

Ryan, you know Juli, the boys, and I are willing to help with whatever you need. Be it setting up, etc...just e-mail or call.

Cheers,

Frank

Beautiful walleye!! Have to love surprise fish, especially when they are of that quality

So when are you going to catch some "big" fish, Steve???

Here's mine.

That's beautiful Roy!!!

Think that's what that beauty largemouth I lost on Friday was trying to signal towards me!

LOL, smart-ass!!

Spectacular report TJ!! Man, did my stomach just growl listening to that shore lunch video!!

Thanks for the quick reply on the "hotel NOT to book"!!!

Some really nice "gold" guys! Have to love those small lakes!

Have a great one guys and gals!! Since I work for an American company, should I not have the day off.....TO GO FISHING

Dan's the man!!!

Great multi-species report. I'm with Dan, those brookies bring back lots of childhood memories!

Great report Dan, looks like we should have given Long Point a shot Friday evening!

Good stuff, Rich! Congrats on the fifth place finish!

Great stuff Bob!! Good to see you had a great time, again, up here in Canada!!

For grilling, nothing beats a good medium rare steak. I agree with Dan, keep it simple, don't cover up the taste.

Since this is a fishing forum, my second favorite would be fresh caught salmon or trout. Skin on, right on the grill. Salt/pepper and lemon.

have fun and be safe all

Good stuff Geoff. We're heading out soon. Hopefully one of us can get an upgrade for the team!

HAPPY CANADA DAY to all!!!!!!

Will also be my unofficial bass opener, this afternoon/evening!!

Solo is one of the most giving people on this site

 

 

So I don't think you are winning any friends today throwing crap like that out here...

I have to agree with Terry. Mike has never hesitated to send info/tips/suggestions.

In fact I put a post on here earlier this year asking for info on a certain area from anyone that had been. Not only did he answer, he sent me a long detailed PM on the area.

Great stuff, Ryan! Always great getting out with your "old man"! Man, Long Point is quite the zoo on opener.

Toying with the idea of heading out there tomorrow afternoon/evening. Winds are looking promising.

We'll see you in three weeks, if not before!

Take care

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys know for an absolute fact that red can't be seen in deep water?

 

When that claim is made are you talking about the human eye or from a fishes perspective?

 

How does anyone really know what a fish sees?

 

I've always found those types of statements funny.

My main reason for using the red hooks was that the Eagle Claw lazer sharp trebles I purchased the first time happened to be red. I found that my catch ratio went way up, compared to factory hooks on Cleos especially. So I've just stuck with it. Whether or not I'm hooking more fish...don't know.

Yeah the "fish sees" statements are always good ones, but, I get the biggest kick out of the "pretty" topwater baits. Like the fish are jumping in the air to check out your lures

What about the red hook phenomenon...

I have to admit I still buy the majority of my replacement hooks in red.

Missed the first game, but, hoping to see the rest. Cheering for Canada first, and foremost, Germany second.

Good stuff Dan!! Lots of fish, toothy and non!
