But back to the start of it all!!
Left the door at 8am and after taking some skinny backroads and logging roads we arrived at lake number one fished it for a couple hours with nadda!
So were checking the maps out and notice that there is another smaller lake a short portage through the woods we talk about it a little and say ah the hell with it! lets go!
Little did we know that this "short" portage was through a creek bed up a crazy hill! oh well we made it this far lets go!
two trips back and forth one with the trolling motor, battery rods and net... little did we know we know how important it would be!
then the boat! No problemo

after an hour or so after trying trolling casting and a couple other little tricks I finally had our first bite of the day on a chunk of worm under a float into a tree seen this huge buck shoot out and hammer it! could barley believe what i was watching and instantly turned to madi to get the net as it was a giant!
after a great fight of trying to keep her outa the trees she slid into the net!
my new pb! stretching the tape to 21" and man was it beautiful!


To say the least I was on top of the world! I have been going into the backwoods for 4 or 5 years now and i have never seen a fish like that!
a few pics and he was on his way
Still in shock about a hour later i flip a cast into the same tree and plunk down goes my float set the hook and those familiar headshakes were back!
this one was even bigger at 22.5" and a guestimated weight at around 4-5 pounds!



im still in shock!
hope you guys enjoyed the pics!
