my thoughts as well. i could get a better pic as i was alone. dorsal fin was sharp and boney and ran maybe 3/5ths the length. if you look closely you can see minute humps on the back. i tried to adjust the exposure for a better view but for some reason it wont save. ill keep trying. never seen these in the RR before

any help is appreciated... you cant see in the pic too well but the fins are very sharp and also running a good distance down the back

i have zero experience with fishing the sea though. I could see issues with any line fishing barracuda and the like

to each their own bill. im just saying its darn tough and lasts. i rarely respool throughout a season and i rarely break off or get bit off, even bigger pike

half my fishing is shallow rapids through jagged rock bill

lol braid is not abrasion resistant. try and cut it with your teeth or a knife haha. im not saying its perfect but IT IS INDEED abrasion resistant. to each their own i suppose

sometimes we need to vent dood. no worries about your comments( which didnt offend me anyways, your entitled to your viewpoint) take care man, thats harsh. i wish you and yours the best. i feel sick to my stomach reading your apology. vent when you have to man, its the best thing to do. your family loves you, others love you, just vent to us if you have to. feel for ya and im very sorry you and yours are going through this hurdle get them healthy man

i learned alot in this thread. i had no opinion on the subject but im glad i read through this. ccmt and others thanks!

megissi! my kids plus community kids. always willing to teach

typical winter walleye pretty big gator for rr all of us repping rrfn my youngest reeling in her first RR walley! here it is!!! glutony pigs

on to new adventures! we'll miss you manitou! see ya OFC in 2015 on lake of the woods!miigwich

my youngest caught some fish this year which was awesome!!! occasionally the fish need viagara the scenery here is always gorgeous interesting view a boy and his grandpa. always awesome to get out with the young man perfect eaters time to retire the boat. beauty last shot hook line and sinker someday my kids will look back on my photos like i do on this one

more fish on the ice fat fat fish small sturgeon. they get pretty big here they bend the rod a little lol whitefish!!!! my first ever addicted to buckshot jigs my kids love the boat lol need a break from fishing? go golf!

so many of these were caught throughout the years it became normal highwater brought crappies and much excitement a few years later, handling fish was no problem! the kids had grown. now catching fish on their own. choosing their own baits, tying on and getting out snags the crappies grew and increased our excitement the kids helped local tourneys. they were now experts at handling fish big bass just became so normal we could joke about it in the past two years flood waters became the norm. changing patterns and fishability aside from fishing we all enjoy golf. my drive landed next to this momma bear we always enjoyed visiting the sturgeon farm

They just get thick! The average size in fall is probably 25"! ice fishing started out very basic. the river can be a killer come ice the kiddos would fish, go sliding when bored!why not catch some air? come spring id take full advantage... we now had patterns! snagged my first ever lamprey, ewww lol. i actually called the MNR over this haha the fish that landed my first derby win... not too bad for a 4 year old lol with good times also comes bad. sturgeons netted and left to rot. we successfully realeased a few. sad day hooled dèep and had to keep. hows that for a 6 year olds smallie? the view of many summertime evenings! many beauty days on the ice! we fished no matter the weather

Well,today is a bittersweet day. Because of new to me work, today was the last few casts I took here as a resident. I layed down tobacco, said a prayer and thanked the creator for many things. Our protection, our beautiful land and water, our experiences, alone and as a family. 5 years I took notes, developed patterns, won derbies, had campfires at camp etc. We havent left yet. But RRFN we will miss you... First big RR walleye First smallie at what became my favorite bass spot. Right in the rapids. I caught thousands of fish in there Big walleye pull hard here. No wet socks. Many friendships were made over fishing here Campfires by the hundreds! Unreal times with friends and our children. Lots of fish frys as well. Always nature all over. The kids found everything and anything. Baby snapper My daughter caught this during a derby. Almost lost it at the hole but managed to save the catch. The derby was cancelled due to freezing rain They just learned to hold bass lol. Didnt take long to master it, as they all have pb's over 4lbs on the first year Big walleyes around in the fall and spring Contnd

that was a great game! Pure action everywhere

Uh oh!!!!

baby in a car seat??? People actually bring babies out on the ice and place them in a car seat? Wow. Or am i reading that out of context?

This new kid on the leafs has a great game. Puck to the face OUCH!!!!

Great hockey game tonight!
