a notable exception to the trend of unrealistic big musky baits would be the rapala peto: https://rapala.ca/products/x-rap-peto granted, i dont know if they are being marketed specifically for muskie but I know at my local tackle store muskie guys are buying them up.

awesome pics. some nice big pike too. well done.

Total Bull on the Judge's part. Sorry, but getting farted on in your FACE and On PURPOSE over and over again is absolutely bullying. Whether or not its worth millions is another story. his boss should have been disciplined for sure.

yeah, Henry and Italo really black painted all fishing shows with that scandal. everyone assumed they all were doing that and if im not mistaken they claimed everyone was. Now Henry has been down in Florida for years making "fishing the flats" and Italo is still on TV with Canadian Sport Fishing. They got busted fishing out of season and taking someone elses fish and putting it on the end of their line.

sorry but people like this should not be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. could have killed someone.

(the rod im swapping the new one for is for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested E6X 843). nice to talk fishing and play with all kinds of gear (most of which i can't afford lol).

Hi everyone, I am selling a used high end spinning rod combo. For sale is a G. Loomis SJR842 GL3 Spinning Rod and Shimano Sustain 3000FE reel with spare spool. this is a fantastic combo. The rod is a 7 foot ONE piece rod, rated for 1/8 to 3/8 oz lures and 6-12 pound line. The reel is a shimano Sustain 3000 FE reel. This was the last 'good' sustain that shimano ever made, as it has the aluminum frame (new ones are graphite) and it comes with a spare spool (new ones don't). This reel also has the titanium spool lip (new ones don't have this either). Combo is $350. Located in Burlington. Thanks for Looking!

I used to go to florida in the summer a lot when my family had a vacation spot there. you will catch bass all day but its easier morning and evening. middle of the day is hot and hard to catch them. people go to places like cuba and florida in the summer not because of the weather here but because 1. its cheaper and 2. you cannot snorkel on a coral reef in Ontario nor can you catch a tarpon if you stay here in July so yes I don't have an issue with summer sunny destinations simply because of the activities you can still do that you cant do here. however, you do have to watch out for hurricanes that time of year. although its usually bad from Sept. onwards. have fun!

im an old schooler so I use mono still. my mono of choice is suffix siege for both spinning and baitcasting gear. I use 4 and 6 pound test on my 1000 size shimano spinning reels and 8 and 10 on my 3000 sizes. 10 and 12 pound mono on my baitcasting outfit. all suffix siege. its strong, abrasion resistant. and still e easy to handle. its my favorite that ive tried. used to be an XL user lol

Sorry for your loss

the newer rapalas may be garbage and overpriced, but I still stand by the Jointed Shad Rap and the X Rap Shad as two of the greatest crankbaits of all time. They have been around for a while now. but are really good. never had any issues with breakage etc.

if you are determined to stay brand new, another option for $200 is the Shimano Ultegra. its a stradic minus one bearing. it also has the direct drive (screw in) handle that the stradic has but that the cheaper shimano's don't. I have played with this reel in store and it is awesome. about $70 less than a Stradic.

if you can swing a little more cash, the Shimano Stradic FK is amazing. I have the 3000 size and love it. its worth the cash.

I was using a bass pro bag that came with those clear tackle compartments, it was I think $80. after a year, the shoulder strap ripped off. disappointing. I invested a little more money and bought a G. Loomis tackle bag. its amazing and much better quality. Feels like I'll have it for 20 years. I love it.

I'm a little confused as to how someone's private travel itinerary is a matter of public record and allowed to fall under the Freedom of Information Act. shouldn't this request be flat out denied immediately?

that half and half musky is awesome

the other pic. the white spotting is so tiny the fish appears almost totally grey. normal pike colouration is large white spots on a brown or green background. this guy has tiny white spots on a grey background:

I'll try to post the other pic I have tonight of the fish laying beside my rod and reel. the colour is nothing like a normal pike but the spotting on the tail and non-red fins means its definitely not a muskie as I had first thought. the flash washed out the grey colour a bit in this pic. fought like a beast though!
