I don't know about these guys man... it almost seems like they're not pinching the barbs to me. Why the h*ll would you have to reef a hook out of a fishes mouth with pliers if it was barbless?! And i'm really not liking how they let the trout flop around on the banks!! All the same guys.. and all on the Bow. Click here if the movie does not play. Click here if the movie does not play. Click here if the movie does not play. Click here if the movie does not play. Although in this one.. buddy does say "barbless" towards the end. Maybe it's just because it's 2 treble hooks on the rapalas.. Click here if the movie does not play. Are videos enough for to report someone to RAP if there was an infraction?

How long a drive is it to these lakes? Hour and a half?

I grew up on the Atlantic... amen brotha!

LOL!! I'm all about the groaners man... did a google search for "fishing jokes", and posted the WORST one I could find! Fortunately for me.. my wife thinks i'm hilarious!

My dad wasn't much for fishing but the odd time one of his friends would drag him and I out for a trip. The funniest memory I have is a friend of ours taking out out to a lake out in the backwoods, had to take his 4x4 truck to get in to it. It was a beautiful, pristine, lake and we took his canoe out and were chucking hardware and bait for trout. The problem was that my dads friends canoe was really skinny and therefore really tipsy.. that, combined with the fact that my dad never learned how to swim, made for an interesting day! A few times the canoe got a little wobbly when one of us would move or make a cast, and of course you always have someone that over compensates and makes the thing wobble even more! Well sure enough, after awhile, the canoe got wobbly and first thing we were all in the water!! I knew how to swim just fine but you can imagine my poor dad... NOT knowing how to swim and then all of a sudden getting dumped into a lake!! He was freaking out!! Thrashing around when all of a sudden I stand up and realize we're only in chest deep water... so I'm like "DAD.. stand up!!" .. took him a bit to realize it, but then he finally heard me and got his footing and stood up.. haha.. We all got a good chuckle out of that one! Unfortunately though we lost most of our bait and alot of our hardware.. We're standing there helplessly watching all the trout go nuts picking off all the worms and stuff we had just dumped in the water!! We still have enough to continue fishing though so my dads friend decides it would be better if it was just the two of us in the canoe. So he decides to fish from shore as my dad and I paddle out a little ways and continue fishing. So after a little while we're fishing and wouldn't you know it? the same stupid thing happens again!! The canoe starts wobbling.. my dad over compensates, and SPLASH.. we're in the water again! Fortunately this was a shallow lake because again we were able to stand up without TOO much trouble. My dad was NOT pleased.. especially when seeing his friend laughing his @ss off while watching this whole thing happen AGAIN.. but this time from shore!! We never went fishing again with him and that canoe! LOL I had this thing when I was a kid where I was really protective of my dad and always got nervous whenever he tried something new for the first time (i.e. - trying to learn how to ski on one of the quad chairs in Killington, Vermont!) so this whole thing at the time was pretty stressful for me!! In hindsight though I think it's one of the funniest stories and every once in awhile I still see those friends of ours and him and I have a good chuckle about it. Unfortunately, my dad passed away 10 years back of a heart attack.... but this is one of those things you just never forget!!

Totally!! hahaha.. one car that drove through I swore was going to drop the front driver side tire into that drain hole!!

Oh yeeeeah!

Sweet!! Now remember SJW... just like we practiced..

Did you end up getting a pair? Just wondering how they're working out for you if you did..

And where is this lake?

Kind of cool to me that he caught it in the Mira River close to Marion Bridge. That's right where my uncle lives and about 15 minutes from where I used to live.

Not sure about that one... don't see any cats sh*ting in your yard!

I'm wondering how long before someone shoots someone else by accident.. if it hasn't already happened!

That's about the 43rd craziest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Nice! Gotta love the classics..

It was a hot summer's day, and Luke was in the marina fishing and having a few beers aboard his boat, patriotically named the "Fourth of July." He was waiting for his friend, Opie, to arrive so they could go for a cruise. Opie was late because he had to pick up his wife from her appointment with the obstetrician. Her examinations were cheap because the doctor - Juan - was Opie's cousin. Anyway, the appointment went over time and Opie was late getting to the marina. Luke had been drinking all this time, and was feeling no pain. When he saw Opie finally walking down the pier, he jumped up, staggered to the side of the boat to wave to his friend, and nearly fell in. Opie got there just in time to grab Luke. Moral of the story? It was O.B. Juan's kin Opie that saved Luke from falling to the dock side of the Fourth.

I know.. it's too good to be true. Pick up the latest issue of The Canadian Fly Fisher magazine.. you'll see a clearly picture of her. She's just as pretty as that rainbow she's holding!!

The only trout I ever caught growing up in Cape Breton. I think that's why I like them so much.. memories. AND I remember them tasting damn good too!

My little brownie is in that contest!!

Where is Cataract?? Another person mentioned it to me as well and when I did a search on Google Maps the only one I could find was in Montana.

Here's the one I'm going to catch before the year is out:

Battle Royal's are good too... I've got some frustration to release!!!
