For the past 3 years I have been at a boys' weekend on a lake in Muskoka for opening day bass. This year was a blast as always. We all went to high school together and despite being 36-38 years old and living in different areas of Ontario, we still manage to get together. There is a Gm of a major retailer, a general contractor, a honda factory worker, an insurance adjuster, a lawyer, a hydro one lineman, a golf pro and of course a school teacher (sounds like we should be singing a version of YMCA or something like that)

As you can see from the pics there is a sweet moustache theme.

 

During the weekend there is a fins and skins tournament. We try to catch 5 different species in the lake (walleye, lm bass, sm bass, pike, and crappie). We have 2 teams of 4. You get 1 point per species and a bonus point for each species if it is the biggest. My team managed to catch all 5 species and at the same time managed to catch the largest of each species as well. We therefore scored 10 points. The other team manged only 4 species and none were bigger than ours so they only scored 4 points so that means we had a 6 stroke lead going into the golf.

 

Now on to the golf. We play a shamble and score 2 of the best 4 per hole. Once the 18 holes are finished we add up the team scores. When all was said and done, we lost the golf by 7 strokes and therefore lost the competition by 1 Point!

 

Great weekend and fishing was good. I forgot to sleep and am still recovering.

We even managed to go on our midnight cruise without jumping the boat.

I caught lmb, smb, rock bass, brown bullhead, walleye, crappie, pumpkinseed, pike, perch and a big sucker (5.6 pounds)

Tiny pumpkinseed. Caught loads. I don't really mind catching them. They fight hard for little fish and really pretty.

Sounds like a fantastic weekend....I am stunned at how many species you pulled out of Muskoka....I don't think I've ever even heard of anyone pulling out Crappie. And that sucker is so beefy it looks like a carp! Also...the t-bars are crazy blonde...what gives?!?!? LOL

Awesome weekend by the looks of it! Too bad you guys couldn't pull out the win with a 6 point lead though :wallbash: . What's in it for the winners? Probably not enough to give up fishing time to brush up on the golf game I'm guessing. lol

Popped collar was def a part of the outfit. I just cotinued wearing it when I got back to the cottage and fished with it popped. If you are going to go, go all out.

 

I am not sure if we got every species. I think there may be some bowfin in there.

Nice report Cudz, I look forward to the next time I can get out with my buddies like that.

Cudz ... Never really saw you as the kind of guy that refers to a punkinseed as really pretty... but hey you could easily pumble me so pretty they are! Haha great report-love the stash and it's nice to see that you get out with your homies once a year!

 

Cheers,

Did Tony even try to grow a stash??? That was week. :thumbsup_anim:

Oh yes he did. Look closely. It is very weak though. Dirty little caterpillar on his lip. Robby G did not grow one. Said he couldn't because of his job (we think because of his wife)

Thats awesome, and sounds like a great weekend, I have been thinking about doing a fins and skins tournament myself, with a few buddies, targetting different species is an interesting way to do it!
