WeedLine Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I haven't posted here in a while but your report is worth commenting on. First of all, it was very well written and kept my attention the whole time. The pics and fish were incredible. Perfect specimens. I love the pic of Andrew in the sunset and the one of your giant covering your face. Both magazine quality. You guys killed it! Jeez, now I HAVE TO fish LOTW. Fish like that don't come easy. You guys earned them. Again, fantastic report. Now I'm gonna look at your pics one more time.
Briant Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Awesome report!! You guys crushed them! I'm going up to Kenora the first week on Nov to fish with Darcy. I can't wait!! What kind of camera did you guys use? Beautiful, crisp photos!
SuperDave Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Congrats on a great trip. That is the kind of Muskie trip we all dream of having. And those fish are all beautifully marked!! And Chunky!!
Lunkerhunter Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Amazing report Pete. "Another" trip of a lifetime on the books for us. Already looking forward to next years trip with you brother. Darcy knows his stuff. his knowledge of lake of the woods and his passion for Muskie are what I think make him one of the best muskie guide on LOTW right now. I have already started looking into next years trip, we need help. Lmao
Handlebarz Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Dang now that is totally a trip of a life time congrats on another great trip to LOTW. Nice to see you were able to get one on the Barz. That 51" is a tank she sure does look gorgeous. Thanks for taking the time to put together the post
The Urban Fisherman Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 unreal report! boy you guys were roughin' it at that hotel! lol Great pics to!
mepps Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Awesome fish man! I need to get my hands on one of those fattys!
Fisherpete Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks everyone, it truly is incredible up there. For anyone going to LOTW for the first time, I highly recommend going with Darcy or another top guide. The lake has infinite hazards, and navigation is not for the faint of heart. The lake also has far different muskies than we have down here - they do not behave like Kawarthas fish. There are also so many good looking places to fish, it's really hard to narrow down which spots hold fish consistently - going with a guide will speed up your learning curve immensely. Worth every penny. We've gone to LOTW for three straight years now, and fished 20 days there, but will still be going out with Darcy again next year when we get there even though we will be bringing our own boat. Briant - Darcy was snapping away with a digital SLR, I took pics with a Nikon N1. We both got some great shots over the trip, the ones posted above are 50/50 from the two cameras. Cheers Pete
misfish Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 Well I finally got to sit here and read your post Pete. The more I read it,the more I felt like I was right there in the boat with you guys. Those are some beauty fish man.. Great report and congrats to you and Andrew. Thanks for taking the time. Oh BTW Hows the bass fishing up there
Fisherpete Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Posted August 3, 2014 It's actually amazing - the first year we went up one of the guys in our group was a bass nut and he did well every day. Seriously, every species that the lake offers has incredible fishing. It's nuts, just a giant fish factory. Pete
singingdog Posted August 3, 2014 Report Posted August 3, 2014 Those are beautiful fish. Congrats on the PB.
wall i Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Aug 16 I will be into the Ash Rapids area of LOTW for a week with my son. Your stories have me stoked.Thanks for posting.
Moosebunk Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Love it! Bits and pieces while at work the other night to get this whopper read Pete. You shy a partner for some future chapter, write me in dood! Although it appears you two make a successful team.
TDunn Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Count me in too ! Haha Wicked story with a monster musky! Congrats man, that fish is simply a beast. LOTW is still a lake I haven't fished but it's def on the bucket list! Thanks for taking the time to post Pete TDunn
Freshtrax Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Massive fish. Not sure how I missed this thread. I'm gonna have to they muskies one day. I'm scared I've heard one you go musky you never go back.
S.M.05 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Your buddies 49.5” and that 51” new PB of yours are nuthin but walleye eating tanks. I know what you mean about that rest of the day doesn't matter after catching a fish like that. Awesome trip for sure!
