Great outing.

Nice. You guys have been on a tear. That first smallie looks a little under nourished.

Take a look at a shimano stella or a diawa certate.

That's a sweet pair.

Congrats on your NY PB.

Meat fish for walleye & perch.

X2. Roger has a wealth of knowledge to share.

Wecome back Robby. Sounds like some well deserved fun.

Great team effort. That bass almost looks happpy that your dad caught it.

Looks like you need to start up a guide service Jeff. WTG

I have been waiting to see something big caught from up there. I guess this is the year of PB's for the A-Jay family. Tell Lynn I said congratulations & WTG!

That's a beauty Paul. Outstanding fish for such hot conditions.

Very nice fish Mike. Lox has some biggies for sure.

Congrats on the first win.

I keep mine in an attached garage. Our subdivision regs will not allow boat storage in driveways.

Steve that has to rank very close to the top as best picture you have ever displayed. Very expressive look in that big girls eye.

Clayton have you tried any diving plugs like manns strech series? Grouper will bite those for sure.

A good fishing buddy always Offers to chips in for expenses Shares your enthusiasm Offers suggestions when your program isn't working Almost never misses a fish at the net Is always on time Loves to have fun Takes good pictures or will learn how to Is willing to learn/knows how to teach/share the knowledge Is always welcome on my boat Takes what mother nature has to offer

IF you want it bad enough it will come. Congrarts to the heat.

Will tonight be the night? The heat needs to step it up if they want it bad enough.

Clayton it's all about the location. Big pike up there. When I said skinny fish I meant skinny compared to normal. These fish didn't have anything in there bellies. Here is a fish from a couple of years ago that had been eating good just after spawn.

Just got back from our annual trip to lake athabasca in northern saskatchewan. Pike fishing was great but the fish had not put the feedbag on yet since spawning. Ice had been out for several weeks and the spawn had been over for several weeks as well. I have never seen so many skinny pike up there since we started going up back in 1999. I'm sure they will fatten up soon. My best bait was a rapala maxrap 13 in 1/2 oz size. Very wide swinging slash bait. We also did good on storm swim baits, jensen bunny jigs & blue fox inline spinner baits.

I would get wet for that in a heartbeat! Living the dream.

It's a great feeling when your plan comes together. Keep it up.

Hey Mike you know what he is going to do when he hits ten! Congrats to you both.
