Luckily the leaves were out in full force, there was wildlife kicking around, and the rumours proved true, the little lake in the bush was crammed with largies. We fished a total of 9 hours and caught 148, no real tanks but all but 2 were bigger than 12 inches, with 14% greater than 17" (We keep track of these things).
Ended up with some good pictures, a whole pile of memories, some very sore thumbs.
Here's the montage...

What worked:
Doing some homework and finding fish that had never seen a bait and putting ANYTHING in front of them. Topwater, jigs, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, tubes, you name it. I ripped a branch off a tree with a spinner bait and a bass hit the branch halfway back to the boat.
Honda Ridgeline
What didn't work:
Forgetting the rainpants, I got soaked on the walk in.
Hope you enjoyed,
Matt
