Honouring The Fishing Story. 2025's Year End Report.

[Moosebunk]

Odd year 2025. Fishing took "a bit" of a back seat to health, getting older and work at times so, the number of days dwindled down a little from the norm. That said, when the fall season finally ended in early November, there was this rather incredible body of fishing and adventures that had taken place. A rundown for travel was Kimmirut NU, Cancun Mexico, Nipigon, Grise Fiord NU, Home, Nipigon, Great Bear Lake NWT, Taloyoak NU, Nipigon and finally into a cottage for nearly two months before back to work in Arctic Bay NU before Xmas. Everything from Arctic char, longnose gar, some of the biggest lakers I've ever caught, brookies, pike, walleye, a PB whitefish, largies, smallies and some enormous muskies, few casts were left untaken. Friends and family alongside for much of the time.

Anyhow, long gone are the days fishing reports are cool anymore to most but, I don't give much of a faaawk 'bout that. It's the way it's been and may always be. This link shares all that 2025 fishing and travel, packed with pictures from atop glacial mountains in the highest arctic community of North America to a sunny beach in Mexico or Great Bear of a trophy fish lake in the NWT. There's a video of the largest shoreline fish I've ever caught, links to all the full detailed reports and some thoughts on what it means to honour your story. Link here below if you're into that.

Hey Bunk. Either the file is super duper mega, larger than my laptop has ever seen or there is a problem with it. Still waiting after 2 minutes.

 

Seems we're good now.

bunk not to take away from your obvious incredible knack for photography, but the arctic really seems like a place where its impossible to not take an incredible photo. 

 

Thanks for taking the time to post this, in the days of instagram and social media its difficult to make an effort to sit down and really write a report, and post. I should take the time an post an annual report, its been a few years and the process of thinking back and writing about it is great in its own whether anyone reads it or not.

I knew the Bunkster when he was a yungen. His photography has greatly evolved to the point that I am enjoying the photography more then the stories! Sorry Bunk! The arctic, like any other cool place on earth only gives you more opportunity. He has the eye.

Great fishing trips.  I guess you like doing the more remote fishing.  
The pics seem to have perfect lighting.   
Nipigon is a 12hr drive from my house.
