Keep em coming Captain Shane.

Congrats on the new PB. That's a quality fish for PA.

It's the shorts.

Not a stereotype but she was a 22 year old blond.

I agree. Not to big. I bought some big EZ's to use for smallies just haven't tried them yet.

Sounds like a really sweet trip. Great pictures as well.

More like wet your pants.

Sweet. That's big enough for a dinner invite. I never had a crappy meal in michigan.

Nive fish Dale. Robert does take good pictures.

I guess you better convert that new drop shot rod build to a tube rod. Congrats on your new pb. BTW that spot looks familiar.

The width of the jaw spread is equal to the girth. A true Texas toad.

A buddy & i were fishing in Quebec for walleye. We were both fishing ball head jigs tipped with night crawlers when we each got bit. Sure enough a walleye picked up both our jigs & was hooked twice in the upper mouth. As punishment for his actions he was eaten for dinner.

A jointed wiley in brown perch.

Grub trailers added to any spoon will cause the spoon to ride up or stay higher in the water column. This can be a useful trick when you want to fish a spoon slower or keep it above emerging weeds or grass.

Great video. Loved the under shots. Thanks for posting it up.

Guide.

Hey Chris. I think your doing pretty good. A 6lb-13oz is only 4 ounces away from a 7lb-1oz trophy. Once you get over 6lb-12 oz you could call it a trophy. I have a buddy that fishes with me prespawn every year for 10 days that has three 6lb-12oz but never bigger.

Kelley, Did you try VRBO pet friendly listings? Also post up in the SE local fishing forumn.

Raul, Better than the conquest JDM? I have both the core & calais and agree they are two different animals. The calais is the flagship in low profile shimano reels. But if you consider all shimano offerings where does the conquest fit in?

That thought has crossed my mind.

Technically it is the Niagara river but it is Lake Erie water.

Try I love hard bait or hookeduptackle.

Hey Snook, they are the fresh water barracuda.

Round baitcasters in the 100 series are very palm able like a low profile based on your hand size. You need to try them on a rod to help you decide.

Here is Big John's PB. 6lb-9oz. A real beauty.
