the only thing missing on a ford flex is the wood panelling hahaha. nice on the inside but ugly as hell. i still say check out a traverse. waaay more functional

too small a pic to appreciate lol break out the full pic!

whoa!!! some wicked pics!!! awesome guys!!! that splake is hyyyuge! that pike as a sumo wrestler! im at a loss for that whitey

hahaha wow

On the bodies of water I fish there can be 1-2 fow variances but that's normal with water fluctuations.

here is that youth angler with a thin and long sturgeon. Around the 50-55" mark. Sorry for the horrible pic, but this kid was stoked! He had never seen anything like it before

Wha??? Howah thats alot of grease!!! Great fish

You can see it in the smile! Whats the length on that beast bill?

No idea how old you are Brian, but if your gonna do it only do it ONCE!!! I'm 35 and grew up on a snowboard and skateboard. My kids get me to bust out the snowboard once or twice a year when we go sliding, and that old confidence comes right back. A few tricks makes the kids happy... Then I can't walk for a week???

Looking at the "ice gators" thread and it brings alot of excitement to me about my next pike outing on LOTW. Pike are wicked fun through the ice, especially 35" plus. I didn't want to derail that thread so I thought I'd ask OFC what the biggest fish they caught through the ice were? Bonus points for pics? Here is a decent sturgeon incidentally caught at my Family Day walleye derby last year. These were gnarly fights on walleye gear!!! No measurement but definitely over 60" I got a photo of a young fellow with a 55" sturgeon somewhere as well. Boy was he happy? I'll have to see if I can locate it. So, where are your pics/stories?

Canadian tire carries them. I seen them last week right next to the Rapala "angry bird" lures ???

"strand ulcer"? Scary, is that the new H1N1?

????

only use it to plan trips on softwater or hardwater. Then on hardwater to pinpoint a spot then its turned off. Good app, it does what I want it to do. I can also take points and transfer them to other units if needed. I wouldn't worry about your battery. Nobody on earth is gonna leave the app running while they fish.

snap crackle pop? plus what did they hold? 30 yards of 10lb mono? ?

lol the banjo minnow is a horrid looking swimbait???. Thats awesome you caught fish on it though! At a buddies cabin I found an old pocket fisherman and laughed at the thought of trying it. Hopped in a canoe and off I went. No bites no nothing. Last time I reeled in I had a nice 13-14" walleye on and I had no clue until it was on the surface ???. Super sensitive they are not.

If you look at the traverse in person it looks smaller then a van. It most definitely isnt lol. also its a 6 speed transmission,3.6l v6, 281hp

ahhh yep somewhere in the mix we had an uplander as well. the kids loved that vehicle. great vehicle for family needs

I have 6 kids Mike. We had a 2008 caravan and added a bench seat. Good vehicle, fit us all. No complaints really but we bought it used and the under rusted badly fast. We replaced that with a 2008 Montana. Again nice vehicle. only fit 7 though so that sucked. Used it for abit with no issues. Then we bought a 2011 chevy traverse and it is awesome! not a mini van but worth checking out. gets good mileage, all wheel drive, tow package, and it fits all of us. Believe it or not it has more room then a mini van. fully loaded with 8 of us in we can still load in my sons hockey gear and get a few groceries

it doesnt have to be a dip in the water either. just intentionally getting your hands cold quickly works. i did it all the time in the oilfield too. its funny cause your hands stay waaaay warmer waaaay longer this way. works with your feet too

get severe frost bite on your finger tips. not enough to have them cut off, just enough to cause nerve damage j/k. I find some gear better then others but nothing is perfect for my hands. its give and take. one thing for sure is avoid alcohol or stimulants of any kind I find the best thing is to keep moving. Ive fished without a shack in -40's and stayed plenty warm just by moving. drill a few extra holes even.

Ovie would wreck Phaneuf. Sad indeed. But Phaneuf knows that too or he woulda made a point to find him later in the game. A few big hits in that game. That hit on Panik where Panik stood him up was a HARD hit!

wicked nice gators! I prefer to jig em up though. One thing is for certain they show up like a missile on the graph!!!
