Ron Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) I will start off with some photos of our fishing trip up North. Perhaps if I get time I will do a write up about our trip afterward. These are just some of the photos from one camera. There will be more to come including video, you have got to see the videos! A 10 day trip tallied: Probably 40 Brook Trout with 9 Brook Trout over 22 inches, largest being 25.5 inches. (about 7.5 lbs) Zero fish harvested. Dano caught 5 over 22 with a new PB @ 23 3/4". In one day, personally I put over 100 Walleye in the boat (ya, a few were given the ceremonial drift wood sacrifice, along with a few cans of Beans and potatoes.) Dano was not far behind in the Walleye count and he also scored a new PB inland Lake Walleye. Couldn't keep count of the amount of Pike caught but definitely some BIG GATORS were put in the Boat. Once again Dano got a new PB Pike @ 43", you have got to see the shoulders on this girl. (pics coming soon). I want to thank "The Weekend Whiskey Fishermen" (Dano, Keith and Jarrod) for a trip not soon to be forgotten. Special thanks goes out to Dano, had lots of giggles on the trip and can honestly say this has been one of my BESTEST fishing trips to date! Hey Dano, you ought to be in movies! ha ha ha (I can see a new fishing show appearing on WFN) Cheers, enjoy the pics. Ron... The highly sought after trophy Whitefish, took almost the whole trip to finally catch our targeted species! Edited July 5, 2010 by Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ron, how's the water level out on the big lake? From the looks of it, I'd say down 2ft or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 INCREDIBLE!!! How much did a trip like that cost you???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Nice Ron. Too bad that I wasn't able to hook up with you guys for a few days. It would have been a blast for sure. This photo essay explains just why Northwestern Ontario residents don't do fly ins. Maybe we'll catch up with you this fall?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 "The start of my Northern trip" Wait a minute Ron, I thought the trip started with a phone call here to say hi to the Plummas while doing a drive by razzing at one of your buddies homes.

Rich Clemens Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Just the start of a trip ? Catching fish like that would make an entire trip (or two or three) for me. Thanks for taking the time to share the report and pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Dang how come you did not tell Jade about them fish last night??? That sure is one great start to a amazing trip Ron cant wait for the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Very nice Ron! What camera were you using for the underwater shots? Looking to get one myself. Been playing around with a waterproof plastic bag housing and finding it a bit cumbersome. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ron, how's the water level out on the big lake? From the looks of it, I'd say down 2ft or so? Water was down on most of the lakes we fished. Nipigon was down about 3 feet. INCREDIBLE!!! How much did a trip like that cost you???? I have never really figured out the cost of a trip like this. If I did tally it up, my wife would probably divorce me! Nice Ron. Too bad that I wasn't able to hook up with you guys for a few days. It would have been a blast for sure. This photo essay explains just why Northwestern Ontario residents don't do fly ins. Maybe we'll catch up with you this fall?? Your ears must have been ringing a more than a few times Dan. Not sure on a Fall trip though, we don't need to go as far now to find the fish we were catching. Awesome pics Ron, I really like the underwater shot, I might have to get one of those cameras. Can't wait for the full write up. Joey I was thinking the same thing Joey. Seriously considering on accidentally driving over mine with the truck! "The start of my Northern trip" Wait a minute Ron, I thought the trip started with a phone call here to say hi to the Plummas while doing a drive by razzing at one of your buddies homes. Would I do that? ha ha ha You would have fit right in Jester! Dang how come you did not tell Jade about them fish last night??? That sure is one great start to a amazing trip Ron cant wait for the rest Now how could a person compete against anyone that catches a 49 1/4" Muskie and taking home more than a few trophies for her efforts. Besides she would out fish me if Jade went up with us. Very nice Ron! What camera were you using for the underwater shots? Looking to get one myself. Been playing around with a waterproof plastic bag housing and finding it a bit cumbersome. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. It was my buddy's camera and I think it was the Cannon Power Shot D10, awesome photos taken with it. Im pretty sure i can speak for 99% of the people on here when I say, man you make me jealous Thanks! Cheers, Ron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
