29 meter hail!! Man... OUCH!

lol. 25 meter hail!

what's beyond me is how can anyone eat fish from this river, YUK! Tell them boys to go fish below the calfrobe bridge on the west bank if they wanna eat fish

Oh dont get me wrong... I never said there's anything wrong with sage's, just meant that maybe they might not be for him..

Bingo. I'd also add, if your budget is 400 bucks, ask the shop to cover up all the names on the rods, and find the one that suits YOU best. I find more people think a rod's better becuase of the name on the side of it. No rod is all that much better than another.. you just have to change YOUR casting to match each stick. I've seen guys cast a 50 dollar canadian tire rod with perfect loops all day, and guys with 1000 dollar high end sage's and 30 years fishing not throw a nice loop, ever.. so go find something that suits you and that you like to cast and that your accurate with, and forget about the name on it You might prefer a 100 dollar rod, you might find that you prefer an 800 dollar rod (and if so, hopefully your not married yet LOL). You never know.

Fantastic footage.

Ha. I remember that night Greg. Me Rusty and H20 were up the bank hiding in a sheltered spot watching that bad boy crack and roll. That was the night you guys were going to meet up with us wasn't it? PS. You sissy. Ya packed up. Fishing after that was nuts

anyone else addicted to sirius channel 23 hair nation? I am LOLOL

My Korker's blew apart on me yesterday... the metal lace (with the knob that tighten them and pops to loosen them) ... the metal lace was broken.... how the heck does that happen? sure the boots are 2 years old and have seen about 50 days fishing, but come ON the metal LACE came apart. I hope they stand behind their product

The Detroit Red Wings..

Birthday fishing is always the best. Got my biggest flyrod trout to date (not including steelhead or salmon) on a "birthday trip". Happy birthday guys.! Hope there's a big one waiting for ya!

Or ducks fans Happy b day

Most of them were novice, your right. Probably bad at line control to begin with, and then you combine the excitement of a hot fish on the other end of the rod and their "off hand" loses ALL co-ordination LOL

Vancouver's looking good. *cough* errrr Luongo's looking good I mean.

Nice pics guys. I'd love to see a shot of a 32 incher... where from the bow or "elsewhere"??

I kinda watched this when I guided... becuase it was of interest to me. People that reeled with the dominant hand (be it left or right, whatever hand your dominant with) landed about twice as many hooked trout as those that reeled with the opposite hand. I don't think it's the actual reeling that made the difference, but line control when a fish ran right at ya (stipping, etc)... that failed them.

haha, sorry mate. Looks like our lines got crossed then were both fighting the same fish here in the area your fishing, is it actually unlawfull to release the fish? I know some of my european clients fish in places where you cannot (by law) release what you catch and you MUST keep it... and your done the days fishing when you limit out.

Cast right and reel right. I have a seamless transition that keeps tension on the line and also reels in the loop of line (if there is one). My left hand *can* reel if need be, but it's better left doing nothing as it's usually just in the way. It's a darn good rod holder during the fight

I was defending you, but thanks for jumping all over me and accusing me. Much appreciated.

not if your 250lbs I sunk to my knees and barely got out the first time I was fishing it, and didnt dare go close again. Had to find an old board to lay flat on the mud to get close enough to fish it at most places. If your gonna fish this lake from shore take along a 2ft x 2ft peice of plywood to stand on

I dont think images need to be removed from a post that clearly states "all fish were to be taken" in it, meaning they were kept. Nice pics of whats left.

That place is TOUGH to shore fish, the whole edge is very swampy and you'll sink up to your neck in a hurry! I tried it, ended up back at the dock (and landed a couple from there on boatmen this fall). Good on ya for getting nice one from shore! I liked the place, would be awesome with a pontoon!

Studies with laboratory rats have proved that jumping in a fish tank with a big bass, may be harmfull to your health.

Uh oh Canucks!! 4-2... 3rd period...

It's a good thing that for the canucks they scored to keep it out of overtime.... Becuase then Chicago would have run your goalie, and scored on the play with goaltender interference, to decidedly do a TSN turning point in the series.
