Cudz Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) 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) Leaving my house with some sweet cookie dusters on our lips Early evening smallie Night cruise without any drama Little snot rocket My buddy's LMB note deerfly biting his head. haha Big sucker that dropped a huge deuce on my boat. Tiny pumpkinseed. Caught loads. I don't really mind catching them. They fight hard for little fish and really pretty. Hungry friend with pike Another friend with a nice little LMB Nice little pike Group shot of some bad staches Nice nightitme smallie Frog caught during golf Some nice golf swag Nice Little LMB Bullhead lol Nice evening walleye My buddy trying to make a 4" rockbass look bigger Nice crappie Edited June 29, 2010 by Cudz
alphaalpha Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Awesome 'staches! sounds like you need to brush up on your golf for next year though It's great to have annual trips like that, keep it up!
MCTFisher9120 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Nice job man, caught lot's of different fish with some competition thrown in Thanks for sharing, MTBF

LucG Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Great report! I'm sure you all look forward to that each year! Are you going to tell the story behind the staches? Edited June 29, 2010 by LucG
kickingfrog Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Did Tony even try to grow a stash??? That was week.
johnnyb Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 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
blaque Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Somebody get that guy some sunblock for his shins next year Popped Collar almost makes the stashe look subtle LOL That was a great multispecies/multisport report cudz
Harrison Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) That's the perfect guys weekend. Ours guys weekend is coming up last weekend in July. 20-30 guys all old/semi retired hockey players, Staches and your Misses(and or Moms for the single guys) ugliest summer dress is the entry fee. What happens at the Patty House, stays at the..... Hopefully we may get a full 18 in this year! Thaks for the post Cudz, great memories. Edited June 29, 2010 by Harrison
bulltron Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Nice fish, especially that walleye! so nice! ... those flavour savers are fantastic aswell[... cookie dusters as you call em ] ..
jaydub Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Awesome weekend by the looks of it! Too bad you guys couldn't pull out the win with a 6 point lead though . 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 Edited June 30, 2010 by jaydub
LegitFish Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Thats a cool variety. Nice crappie! Did you catch all these with just a couple baits?
Joey Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Mmmmmmmmmm frogs legs Great report and pics, looks like you guys had a really good time. You can tell you're all good buds. Nice golfing outfits too Joey
a.cortellessa Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Looks like you've caught about every species the lake has to offer! haha. good job
Cudz Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 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.
GBW Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 What happens at the Patty House, stays at the..... Shhh, better then Las Vegas... Nice report Cudz, I look forward to the next time I can get out with my buddies like that.
The Urban Fisherman Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 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, Ryan
Cudz Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 Did Tony even try to grow a stash??? That was week. 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)
daryl0815 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 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!
lunkerbasshunter Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 lol great report! "love the staches" Cheers!
Moosebunk Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Some nice fish.... so I'll take it easy on ya for the staches and bad golf attire.
Leecher Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Good going Chris!!! Sounds like you guys had a great time
