I do want to say despite my name I was in a hurry to get her back in the water. Slayer8

When fishing on the last day of my trip to Wabakimi the King lake of Wabakimi Provential Park I caught this 27" pick with just minites to spare. Interesting story, so we have lunch that day at the cabin and I made my famous "Bleu Cheese Linguine with Buffalo Walleye" and ate 6 fish as a camp. So we needed just 6 to close out our trip. i decided we should go to the outlet up river bay. We don't usually go there much even though it is the main outlet and consider going there a pleasure cruise or sight seeing trip. We get to the outlet and begin fishing now we've been catching em like crazy all week but couldn't get a nibble here. What we did see was smoke! Off the point leading to the outlet appeared to be smoke. I thought somebody must be camping there so I sent my sons to go investigate and see whats up. They discovered lightning had struck a tree days before and beaver house next to it was now fully engulfed in flames. They gladly spent the next hour putting it out with my soft side cooler. With the wind change that day the fire would have spread throw that part of my beloved lake. Still needed 6 fish so our boats split up. I took my boat with my brother and my sons boat to another spot on the lake we don't go to much we call Rusty's back Door. At the precise moment of arrival I catch my personal best wally. I believe it was God's will that he sent us to put out the fire and rewarded my accordingly. Slayer8

hi Jacob, Im probably in the minority, but with the newer lines out, I havn't used a leader in years. Easier to cast and more proficient in the water. Good luck Slayer8

How big was the goby?

That 24" was the 2nd fish I caught on my June trip to Wabakimi the king of Wabakimi Provential Park, my last fish in the last 1/2 hour of my trip was 27"

Yea but mainly a walleye fisherman with a pike fetish. Thanks for the warm welcome Slayer8 Hope this picture works

Sorry, As this was my first post I thought it strange but when I posted my account went into Mod Queue. Sorry I had some fine pictures from Wabakimi from June. I'll retry when I figure it out. Thanks, Slayer8

Ya some reservoirs in col. got some. I just can't fish here as I've always been too spoiled Canadian fishing. I'm probably not a great fisherman by any stretch. 44 1/2" my best. But ya, became the Pikeslayer8 when i set my email account for the first time. 8 because there usually is 8 in our party. Slayer8

Thanks Dana, My family does have a league called the WFL (Wabakimi Foolball League) and we use our fishing monikers. Me, I'm the Pikeslayer. My sons are Armada and Walligator. As spread out as my family is the league is a fun way for us to communicate in a different way
