I guess his odds were lower than predicted.

Sweet. I like how your not afraid to get into the water.

Prime! Envy for me.

Great year indeed. I'm especially envious of your summer-time whities. That's something I'd also like figure out locally, although find it difficult to even attempt.

Great read. The ever increasing walleye reminds me of Gob on Arrested Development with his $1000 then $2000 then $4000 suit haha CMON!

You win! Hahaha good one

My wife worked at a jewelery store and knew that with my budget, I wouldn't be getting a diamond of any great substance...most of them are junk and way overpriced unless you have big money to spend. I have nicer pieces of quartz in my rock collection... Yes rock collection! Instead, I got her a sweet BIG, flawless pink saphire and she loves it and gets lots of ooohhs and ahhs type of attention ... Diamonds, at the low to mid range are a complete rip off and represent one of the most corrupt and marked-up markets on earth. For example : buy a diamond for 3000 and its appraised at 5000??? Think about that! Plus, 200 people between the mine and the seller have taken a 1 percent cut. YES my math is correct

I'll often bring canned sardines/herring as a snack in the canoe and I'll think to myself " to think like a fish, you gotta stink like a fish"

Look at the belly on that one fish !!! Unreal. You sir, are a fish magnet.

Love the part about him collecting lures!

Best said in song "fishy fishy bite my hook; you be the captain, I'll be the cook"

Can't go wrong with a Line 6 either.... it's not top of line but has lots of effects and plug-in options. Sounds great with my Epiphone Les Paul.

Heard this on CBC yesterday. Pretty cool story. That'll be one fisherman who doesn't hate cormorants anymore.

Here's hoping 2013 is just as good for you.

Saweet! I suck at fall fishing... You seem to thrive on it.

The ice man liveth north of here. Still in the pluses around here. Happy idiot of a dog I gather? Haha

I know nothing of cameras but those look like real good quality photos! The smile says it all man

"Bring on the ice" Here here!!!

Fish! Woo-hoo! To someone who doesn't get spoiled with steelhead rivers, those fish look mighty tasty. Do you often keep one or two for the table?

Did the guy in the pink boxers eating by the fire lose a bet? Nice report, looks like a fantastic trip

When I first read the part where you jumped in the water, I was picturing you in 3 feet of icy cold water; the toughest man on earth. Haha then I realized it was probably super shallow. Great catch!

at around 1:30 that looks like one heck of a workout Cool recap you made. That'll be a nice memory piece for the future. As a kid I'd be pouring over stuff like this over and over.

Get your son to take his G as soon as possible... there is a rather large drop in insurance rates after 1, 2, 3 years of holding a G license.

Holy crap its folding over at the anal fin.

Good luck to them! Sourced from http://www.nugget.ca/2012/11/07/a-hunters-dream A pair of local hunters have their sights set on hosting their own show on the Wild TV network. Nipissing Township residents Michael Taylor and Shaun Leduc will be competing against teams of hunters from across the country for free air time and the chance to launch their own show on The Search, a reality television show set to air in the spring. “It's an opportunity of a lifetime,” said Taylor, 49, an avid outdoorsman who wants to showcase Northern Ontario hunting to the rest of Canada. With footage shot and presented by the contestants, The Search will feature various hunts by multiple people in different parts of Canada. Taylor and Leduc, who call themselves the Northern Assailants, will compete against teams such as Prairie Assassins, Team Prairie Storm, Team Killbilies, Outlaw Outdoors, and The Replacements. And the two have been busy this fall filming bear, moose and deer hunts in preparation for the show. Taylor said it's been a labour of love for the two who consider hunting a lifestyle. And he said they hope to showcase that in their footage, showing the highs and lows of the sport and how it's an activity involving friends and family. “It has been a dream of mine for many years to be one of the pro hunters you see on TV -- living a hunter's dream,” said Leduc, 34, noting The Search is an opportunity for the two to break into a hard-to-crack industry. “I've been following hunters like Michael Waddell and would love to be a full time hunter/guide in the future. Even a pro camera man would be great.” The winner of the show will receive a quarter of airtime at no charge from Wild TV to get their own show going. Viewers will help decide who wins by going online to vote for their favourite team. According to the show's website, 50% the votes will come from viewers and 50% of the vote will be done by special guest judges that are involved in the outdoor industry. The Search is produced by Nature Productions Canada, which shows include Hitmen Canada and The Bear Whisperer. Both Taylor and Leduc hope their brand of hunting will resonate with television audiences and they're asking for local support through online votes when the show airs in the spring, plus any sponsorships to help offset related to filming and travel.
