I see Big Foot now and then at Whistler -- there is a guy who wears a BigFoot Ski Outfit... Scared me the first time I saw him. Thought it was a Grizzl bear.

skategoat Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Glad you landed it before the seals got to it. Sure wish we could eat the salmonoids in Lake Ontario. I tried a big brown trout once (19 lbs.). It looked great. Nice and pink. Tasted like muddy sponge foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMU Alpine Boarder Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nice catch I'm just getting geared up for the pier/shore season here on west side of Lake Michigan... Those all nighters can be some of the best fishing times I have ever had :ices_ange:ices_ange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 can I add a little fishing stoke of my own? My son caught the bigger one :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am not a fisherman. I like to catch but the fishing part is hard to get into! anyway I had some out of town friends show up and want to go fishing. I got out the duck boat and went looking for fishing poles etc. the only pole I could find was a $6.99 zebco spiderman pole of my son's. I purchased two pike worthy lures and a steel leader along with my license as we headed to the river. My two friends are fly fishing for northern pike with some seriously huge fly poles(he spent the last year working in anchorage) they are slinging these big wet rat looking things back and forth and basically accomplishing nothing that I can tell. Several hours go by in which I am primarily concerned with boat operation and navigation. I flipped a lure under a log occasionally when the air traffic pattern wasn't completely locked up with wet fly chaos. I had on my spiderman special pole with a steel leader and something called a pike mini. basically a jointed lure painted to look like a pike minnow about 4 inches long with a treble hook on the front section and another on the back. I cast it under a log in the slough we were fishing and it was instantly just anhilated. here's where things got wierd. It was not really a fight but more like pulling in the anchor. what we pulled out of the water was a small one pound plus large mouth bass on the front hook and a five and three quarter pound large mouth on the back hook. I guess the big one couldn't put up a fight with the little one slapping him in the face. crazy stuff. I will see about getting the pic off of my camera.

Dr D Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Depends on how good a shot you are:eplus2: Told ya I am not a fisherman. It was a good excuse to get the duck boat out and cleaned up for the coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
