John said he had a free spot in his boat today, so I jumped at the chance!

Having only recently moved to Ottawa, my personal best bass was a 9inch largemouth caught off the banks of the rideau, as you can see we smashed that!

After speeding into a hailstorm, then a rainstorm, we spent some time near the shore casting worms, John caught two nice smallmouth. We then moved onto a bay, where we started using frogs



Was my first! What a pretty fish



John then got this absolute giant, a shade under 5lbs.



My second fish

John caught another one of around 2-3lbs, then we moved on to spinning for pike. No pike but john caught this beauty of a smallmouth



And with that, we headed back. Big thanks to john who is a great guy, lovely evening, and it was brilliant to see a bass that was bigger than 9 inches!

Nice work guys......Congrats to you both !

Good to see you had a good day on the water.

Congrats on some nice LMB

Some nice bass, glad you were able to get out, and a big thumbs up to John for offering you the ride.

Nice bass you got there guys .

John is a straight up guy who is always willing to help a fellow fisherman.Stop in at Petrie say hi to him and he will give all the info you need.Glad to see you guys got into some nice bass

Matt, Its always nice to meet new people and have them along for a fish.
I now know that 40 mph during hail sucks ! I am happy the fish where actice and you have a new pb to beat!


John

You need to change up your pose, you were lipping that fish with it way too close to your body, gotta get it way out there towards the camera and make it look even bigger.

congrats on the new PB

my wife got her new PB 4.5 lb smallie on the weekend, but won't let me post the pic because she didn't have time to fix her hair just right for the photo.....
