Whopper

Mike is a good egg, I've had the itch to visit him

Your right Lew, that was the first time and first muskie too ☺️ Jim I know you know where that is lol, the last picture I saw of the boys I couldn't believe my eyes, Cory needed a haircut and Ben was a giant. BTW, I still fish out of the same shirt ?

Well done Matt

Blast from past lol. It's been at least 10 years since since I fished out of that Crestliner ? WOW That boat has served both of you guys well

Well Lew as you know I fell victim to a big old boulder in my boat a few years ago up there. You sat and watched me try to straighten a stainless steel prop the best I could. Thing of it was I knew it was dangerous and I was actually following another boat (Corey) through to mark a trail on my GPS. Just glad I wasn't going very fast when it happened. The skeg on my motor still has that battle scar

You have a pm

Good to hear your still kicking Roy.

Good to see you out and about Paul ! well there's a blast from the past brickNblock

Lew I did the same thing with our fireplace about seven years ago, only difference is I am using natural gas.

Matt good to see you making the most of your fishing opportunities and your kids are following suit. Thanks for sharing

Spoiled? No way, at 83 and what you have done for some/many (including me) has earned you the right of passage on a few things. Might want to remember that next spring, that's my tough love for the day lol

Such terrible news. Such a neat person. Paul my sincere condolences to you and her son, may she rest in peace

A couple hundred closer for me, but I agree lolI've been all over Ontario except to the Timmins area and north of there. To me hands down NWO is hard to beat and I live less than three hours from one of the best walleye lakes around, Lake Erie. Raf has some valid points as far as catching fish but each of those places has a bit more traffic

Congrats Lew and your lovely bride. Doesn't surprise me you two have reached this milestone, good people for sure.

Cliff I couldn't have said it better myself. Lew put me on my first musky and that is something I will never forget. I've spent a fair amount of time around Lew and they don't come any better. Good luck to you and the Mrs.

Matt great report and your fishing partners are growing up. Awesome stuff and thanks for sharing

Excellent report and picture taking J! Thanks for sharing

Sad news indeed.

Jeff, sorry to hear about your wife. I wish you and her the best. Bummer on the Lakair deal, it is/was a special place and I always enjoyed going there. Even my son that doesn't really like to camp enjoyed going there and just the other day asked me about the place. I met and made a lot of friends going there, it will be missed

Absolutely beautiful work Chris

Is that something that is mandatory??

Wayne the three other guys on the couch are the lucky ones. Good to see you get out enjoy your place and do some fishing.

Sounds like you've made your mind up Flex, good for you. I live minutes off I75 at went to FLA many times and also have traveled up your more that that. There are zero tolls down 75 all the way to Sarasota from Detroit. The only toll is the bridge to cross the border, just came through there a few months back and since the have the construction work done it's a lot nicer/easier to get on I75 south than it was in the past. As far as the drive, coming through MI and Ohio for the most part is the same as driving from Toronto to Windsor. Once you cross the Ohio River is does get more scenic in Kentucky, Tennessee and north Georgia. Ohiofisherman is right about the rest of Georgia though. jjcanoe's first post about leaving 75 heading east over to NC is spot on, very scenic, and that avoids the trouble spot on 75 As far as speeding, keeping it at under 10mph over the speed limit will generally keep you out of any trouble down here as long as your not weaving through traffic. Wear your seat belt! They will ticket you in a heart beat for noncompliance on that. Have a safe trip an enjoy yourself.
