I just posted about this two weeks ago

Im in northwestern ontario and many lakes near me are on the list.

Ive noticed zero difference fishing these lakes.

Its my favorite lure prespawn for walleye

Like brian says!

If you put in the time, ive never not caught fish on the spinnerbait

Black, chartruese and white are all must haves!!!

 

 

damn manitou how many episodes you listened to already lol!

 

also...the site is down? or my internet is whack one of the two

Not enough.

I got cutoff or the website is down or something???

Lol

My guess is those are old.

I used to have some from like 20 years ago. Top notch mugs

Archer is great!

Also this newer camp cartoon, the name escapes me???

If ya like adult cartoons check out Drawn Together, its amazingly stupid

These days the wife and I really like game of thrones. Gotta be the best series ever.

and Blackstone, thats a good one too

Send the cash and done deal as I'm Po... (so poor right now I cannot even finish the word)

I can wire it to ya!

Geoff, if ya go to cliffs bring him a 24 and a pat on the back!!!

Classy move Cliff!

Very cool! I was at the French River with a couple of guys when my buddy catches a small walleye. He brings it up and as he's lifting it out of the water this musky grabs the walleye (while about 6" in the air) and takes the fish and snaps the 6lb line. We were all in shock!

Hahaha ive had similar happen lots but its always pike.

Just a few weeks back I was about to fish off this dock with my kids and I hadnt even casted my crawfish out and a 20" pike launched and grabbed it about 2ft in the air!

We were just laughing as I reeled the fished in. No hookset needed he just engullfed the lure hahaha

Way to go man!!!

....... Oh man, I hope the new employers are supportive and help make your recovery as swift and "painless" as possible.

 

Good luck Rick!

Yeah man they are awesome! No worries other than how to adapt for me.

Brian, I hope work is going good man! I miss havin yeah up my way!

When the stars align, give me a call or txt and ill call you

Thanks for all the input OFC! Appreciated as always!

???

Your the man!!!

I threw booyas early on. Quickly ditched them once i used pot bellies

Walmart shoppers???

After a relook thats a terminator.

Strike kings potbelly dont have those blades and wont bend like that

 

Oh but, I think it is. Theres no barb to hold the trailer. Big belly. I,ll have to bring it in and take a pic for ya.

Lol. Its not a potbelly I can tell from the pics.

But,,,,, you were catching big bass and thats the goal!

 

 

LMAO

 

Too bad the stamped name doesnt show well. It is a Strike King. Im the TERMINATOR. LMAO

 

The blade came off the ring. It happens.

Hahahah busted! Kinda. Its not a pot belly

OH!!!! WE"RE EATING THEM RICK.....

Awesome!

It bugs me when people say they dislike pike.

Filleted right and cooked side by side with walleye, personally ill eat the pike. But i love doing this to people "that hate pike" and let em know afterwards thats what they just ate???

Not sure why you guys arent eating pike anyway???

A 25-30" pike is amazing taste and alot of meat.

I love walleye/perch and crappie, Ill never stop fishing them. But every year im releasing more of those and keeping much more pike

And its undeniably the easiest fish to catch

The white spinner bait strikes again lol

If ya like thise terminator spinners, try the strikeking pot bellies. They arent nearly as flimsy

I read this earlier but didn't have time to respond. Tell me it ain't so. You know I tore my knee up a few times many moons or decades ago. First my right MCL, when you have enough trauma to tear any knee ligament it is a given you have chewed up the cartilages too. I had a crap repair on my MCL and meniscus cartilage. 2 years later I tore the ACL in a game in Montreal. I hate Montreal and have never been back. Your life isn't going to be the same, sorry just a reality, unless, and a big unless you are willing to put in the hard, long, excruciating pain full work. We call it homework. If you don't rehab it properly you will have a have a replacement in your late 40's. I don't want to scare you, maybe I do. Lose the weight now, work the upper body and when the surgeon says start your rehab you are in the zone at the gym.

 

I pray you had a bad diagnosis. Get to Toronto if you can, Dr. Jackson if he's still there. Leaf and Argo guy.

Oh its work time buddy! Ive already been back in the gym these past few weeks so im already in the zone(yeah that first week or so sucks)

Its my right knee. Its always been weak from a few knee on knee hits early in my hockey days. The at 20 or so I tore my hamstring. So this knee haa never been 100% since. Alot of built up scar tissue thats for sure.

Im heading to the sports science center in thunderbay tomorrow. Its a fantastic hospital and the drs are great. My dr did my dads acl 3 years back and he was back playing squash in 3 months. These guys dont mess around, pretty much get the "professional athlete" treatment.

Im not happy about it. But the good that comes with the bad is Ill be back in incredible shape much quicker.

Bad news is work and family life. Ill be laid up alot of times and when im not its recovery mode.

Fishing is almost completely off the list till next softwater season(taking the boat out to mainville one last time)

Thanks for the tips OI. If there is one guy on this board I trust with injury talk, its you my friend!

Had that happen in Alaska once.

Ended up surfing some class II white water before I dropped into a pool.

Scratched my fishing rod.

Thats gnarly!!!!

I didnt lose my rod. I think i tossed it on shore as I fell

The berkley lightening lives another day!???

DUDE NO!

Another mri is needed then probably surgery.

I got my fingers crossed that surgery is not needed and if it is, its a short recovery time.

My dad happened to do this last year playing squash and it was 4 months after surgery then 3 months rehab.

I sincerely hope thats not how my case is

I know the science has improved and ive seen full recovery is as little as 6 weeks

I pre rig most of my plastic go toos and the rest stay in a bag at home.

I dont use gulp so no issues there.

I do carry a few bags of salted tubes(just started this a few weeks back)

Nice!!!!

Nice!!!!

Well I wont be shore fishing for the rest of the season.

Torn acl???
