I about forgot, give the wet batter a shot of baking powder. Thanks, man

Ron, that sound delicious! Tell me more on your lemon rice, sounds great. My favorate walleye breading is as follows: Take a couple cups of flour in a one gal ziplock bag. Add club soda to the flour and make a wet batter, couple of shots of tobasco and thats it. Run your fillets through the wet batter and season with lemon pepper or seasoning of your choice. Roll in Panko and fry. Give it a try, simple and not over-powering.

Yeah, I'm with ya there. He does have this inane leadership ability to raise everyone's game. Of course, Buffalo does seems to have Denver's number. Back to the Super Bowl, how did ya like the halftime show? I kinda liked Madanna, but the black rapper chicks, flippin the bird and stuff, coulda done without. And where were the wardrobe malfuntions.

Wow, thanks for reposting this. Did cost me much of the Super Bowl as I was reading your old reports during the first half. My wife really liked the baby moose pictures. Really nice reports!

Just might be the quickest way to lock this thread up. I'll tell ya what, out here its all Tebow all the time. With the 2' of snow we got recently, well here you go. http://ironicsurrealism.com/tag/tebowed/

Ok Ok My bad. This is for you Well then, congrats. Now I'll go Tebow in my corner

Gotta side with Cudz here on this. Billy Bob, you lost all cred anyway with Big Cliff slappin ya silly as it is. We here in Denver would covet Welker and this coming from a team that ran Brandan Marshall outta town. And don't let the door hit ya in the on the way out.

Bump

Nick, I lost my dad 3 years ago. He was a terrific fisherman. I still miss him terribly. I gave him a nice G Loomis rod for fathers day a few years before he died. When trying to decide who would get it, my wife and I decided to use it as a wall quilt rack holder for a fishing quilt my wife made and hung it in mother's house. Just saying that its not how much the value of the item is to others, its priceless to us. You have some mighty nice items there. Treasure them.

So, Solo is on the beach drawin a crowd again! Anybody suprized? Far as the fish is concerned...............Cuban Missile Crisis......Part Deux. What a tank! As an American, man, do we have a screwed up position on Cuba. Thanks for sharing.

Thought it was cool too. Sent the link to my outfitter in case he would be interested. If ya can't go to a real live show, its a great alternative.

Thanks Terrence, I'm almost over it now.

Another stellar masterpiece. :clapping: I tell ya what, any childrens hospital would be lucky to have a Bushart hanging in it. The terrycats are cute. The colors are what set it off. Bravo

Might be pushin the envelope a bit health wise, but my 81 year old aunt ate everything I put in front of her. Hope she is OK. Thanks man.

Well my Aunt Francis and cousins came to visit me today. Their intention was to take us out for brunch after church. Not gonna happen. Made a bannana nut french toast fattie and stuffed pork loin. Bacon weave on both. Candied up some pecan pieces and through in some bannana(3) 6 slices of french toast and bannana nut Canadian bacon Spectacular!!!! My second fattie, major success. Using this for benedict. I decided to stuff the pork loin with 3 strips bacon(mainly for the grease to cook) 1 onion, 1 apple, 1 red pepper, gobs of Maytag blue cheese. This worked Bannana Nut French Toast Fattie Eggs Benedict with Loin on side, Asparugus. Hollendaise on all! Not pictured is the fresh fruit salad and Lemon cake. Took several hours to pry my ass off the couch. ps Let my wife cook the eggs, big mistake!

Way to go man! Out fishing with your dad, very cool. Speaking of cool, you and your dad must be some sort of tough rascals to be out like that. Givin me shivers. Thanks for sharing your day!

Fish Logic, I thought I had posted my report on this lake on this fine forum, if not well, I'll do it again. Thanks for your interest. Arrived at Forrest lodge Tues afternoon. Set up and was on the water by 2:00. Conditions then were warm and still. Water temp @ 59. Water level down about 3'. I decided to go fish Smoothrock falls for the rest of the day, fished in 15-25 ft. of water and caught nothing. 2 brutal bite-offs. Wed, I was first on the lake and decided to drag crawler harness w bttm. bouncer at spot marked by Scott . Pretty much open water fishing @40-60' Wasn't long before other boats moved in on me but keeping a respectable distance. I moved on hoping to find my own spot, ended up at the far end of the lake past Keller Island near "Little America". Caught 1 walleye using 3/8 oz jig w pink thumper tail. Getting back to camp, I discovered the other group in camp(that moved in on me) did well not too long after I left. Oh well. They were a great bunch of guys even though they were Badgers. (Go Hawks). One guy named Buzz even showed me a picture of a 16.5" blue walleye he caught. Brilliant blue color. One thing sticking in my craw abit was that Scott was there hearing this report and all he said was "You must be doing something wrong". Thank you Mr. Obvious. Kind of embarrassed me. He does tell me at checkout that bottom bouncers don't seem to work very well in this lake. On Thursday the weather changed with the start of a nasty cold front moving in. Temps fell, winds brought white caps (wife did not like). Went to the narrows to find some sheltered water albiet dead. Went back to Smoothrock Falls and Roxann finally catches a small pike. I had a biggun on for a short time just long enough to know it was over 35". Tough day with the winds and rain. Friday we woke to 40 temps, very windy with temps dropping, by 8:30 was 35 and snowing. Since I was scheduled to leave on Sat anyway, we pulled the plug a day early. No redemption for me. I come back a humble Slayer. Caribou Lake is a deep, clear lake with little or no current. One small outlet trickles into Smoothrock with no major inlets. You wouldn't know it by me but I do believe it is a very nice fishery. Fishing pressure is much more than what I'm accoustomed to. In addition to Forrest Lodge and Caribou Lake Lodge their is Bear Paw Lodge and the "Little America" Indian camp. With a public launch, lots of boats. Proprietors, Scott and Mary Jo are very nice people and run a tight camp. You know guys, this is an awesome place to go on a spur. One of the great values out there. RV and even tent camping is availiable. I set my late trip with less than a months notice. Personally, I probably wouldn't go back as I have my June trips set and fall is where I want to experience other places in this slice of heaven we know as NW Ontario. My wife doesn't like the cold and fishes with captured critters my little walleye shout out to another lodge on the lake that is 100% handicapped accessible. Nicer boat upgrades too. Bear Paw Lodge

I went to Forrest lodge last fall for my second trip of year. The journey is half the fun. Recommend it highly. http://www.forrestlodge.com/

The ironic aspect of this thread is that Mercman probably has saved a few marriges in his time. Its just that he does it without having applience parts involved. If ya know what I mean. Big fan of the work that you do behind the scenes, Paul.

I too not a fan of "The Great Gazoo" either. When Elly came into the league and was drafted by San Diego but refused to go there and forced a trade to the Giants. Just left me with a bad aftertaste. "The Great Gazoo", man thats gonna stick. Not going to be a defensive matchup. NE 43-27.

Arrgh

So is this what Billy Bob refers to as Skipper speak?

Great pictures. :clapping: Moose pic is very cool. Very disconcerting to see the lake leval so low.

Beautiful fish there man. The gold and silver hues pop. Way to go on your pb. What is the critter in pic 2?
