Whopper

I have two, the eldest is now 36 years old this month and still works well and I never go fishing without it. The first 15 years of service it was used everyday while I worked outside doing construction work, it has been beat to death and I can't tell you how many replacement stoppers and cups I've went through. Like someone else said the trick, is pre heating the thermos with very hot or boiling water. I have newer one that is about ten years old that I haven't used but about six times and looks brand new, got it for Christmas because the giver didn't like the way old trusty looks. I am a heavy coffee drinker and my first has worked well for me.

Some nice fish caught. First pic, is that the tip of Sugar?

Lew you need to spend a day in my boat. I'm a magnet and target for them (out of province boat numbers). A few years back while on Rice Lake I was checked three days in a row, twice in the same spot by same two OPP's & CO. Another year on the West Arm they came straight to my boat while passing right by two of my Canadian friends. Also had them check a couple of boats from our group and our cabin (while we weren't there) on a flyin north of Armstrong one year, I wasn't one of them that got check but I did hear and see the plane. I've also been stopped twice on the road, one of them was a road block set up coming from the Red Lake Area, CO didn't believe me when I stated I had no fish and proceed to check everything in my truck, he was nice enough but I could tell he may have been disappointed. This "TOURIST" follows the rules

Exactly what I was thinking

Excellent report and congrats on your big Muskie. Thanks for sharing

The deal with pain meds is to stay out in front and not wait until your hurting to take them. Been there and done that, when you posted before that would be on skates in 7-10 days I highly doubt it. Good Luck!

That is some sound advice Raf, just wished the guy I was following would have waited on me lol

Awesome catch, congrats!

Thanks so much for putting your heart and soul into these tales of your adventures. Your description to the details is what closes the deal for me and your photo skills are second to none Bren's beast is totally off the hook and something both of you should be proud of, Congrats! Thanks so much for sharing Peace

Raf if your just wanting to back up those two items a 5KW will do the trick with some power to spare.

I can do that lol

Count me in also
