wormdunker Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Awesome! Great report, excellent pix! I absolutely loved every minute of it!!
4x4bassin Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks for the report Mike , looks like you guys had some real quality time together . Your son has the walleye belly hold down pat by the looks of it as well
wallyboss Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Great report Mike. He'll keep that trip close to his heart for a long long time!!!!!!!!
fishnsled Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 That lake looks awfully familiar.... Fantastic report Mike. It really is amazing how our trips were about a week and a half apart, yet both groups experienced very similar and fantastic fishing!! Great to see your trip was as good, if not better than ours. Brendan's enthusiasm is priceless!! Reminds me of myself and my love for fishing when I was a kid. As he said "Daddy, I'm a better fisherman than you I think!" He certainly is a good one! Thanks for the report Mike, felt like I was right back there.
corvette1 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 awesome report mike chip off the the old block brendan is holding them eye's like you do congrads
asdve23rveavwa Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Brilliant, as usual, Mike!! Savour these moments (I'm sure you do) as they grow up so quickly!! Looks like you are well on your way to having a son who will be your fishing buddy for life...and THAT is about as good as it gets!!
solopaddler Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks so much guys, your comments are all very much appreciated! This is probably one of the best "fishing" related posts I have ever read! Any kid would be proud to have you for his dad. Any dad would be proud to have a kid like Brendan for a son. Good for both of you and If I was booking a fly in trip my first call would be to Hearst Air. I'm almost at a loss for words with this reply. Thanks Cliff. I'll wager you had fun too You better believe it! Your son has the walleye belly hold down pat by the looks of it as well Yep, took a few tries but he got it eventually.

Thanks for the report Mike, felt like I was right back there. Thanks Will. I believe it's a true testament to the lake and the outfitter that we both reported similar experiences. Thanks for the kind words! Edited July 26, 2013 by Mike Borger
hoops12 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 What a great report!! I can't wait to follow in your footsteps and take my son on a similar trip. He's still a few years away. What an amazing bonding experience.
Musky or Specks Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) This is another great report Mike. You did a good job of capturing in words both the importance and significance of father/son bonding. It brought a sense of nostalgia for me of the trips I took when my son was young.Like its been said, cherish it brother they grow up really quick. I notice the hat on Brendan's head is featured a lot. Is this one going to be published? It deserves to be ,not so much for the fishing info but for the warm fuzzy feeling that a father/son trip can bring about. Edited July 26, 2013 by Musky or Specks

RickOnt Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Hey Mike Another amazing trip and report!! Brings back 'LOTS' of memories for me.
