Just curious who has ever gotten the Grand Slam on here, I'll admit I've only goten 3 of 4 before.
Also maybe a good area/ Lake to do it on.

I've gotten the "slam" before on a trip, but it took a couple lakes to do it. Also caught crappies to boot that trip.

I have gotten 5 in one day (SM, LM, Northern, Laker, Walleye) on two different lakes in the Q. I had everything but a smallie and realized it while eating fish at camp. After dinner and dishes were cleaned up, I went out and caught the smallie.

3 of 4 on all of my trips. walleye,smallie,pike. i never fish for the lakers. they are too deep
 
07/02/2008 09:34PM  
Always my problem, either I'm on a lake without lakers, or they are deep.

True Grand Slam is Walleye, Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Small Mouth Bass and Largemouth Bass. If you don't get all 5 it is not a grand slam!

AND

You have to do it in one day to count.

I have never done it in one day.

I suppose grand slam can mean whatever you want it to mean. But typically it involves four of something. In baseball its a homerun with the bases loaded - four runs are scored. In tennis it means winning all four major tournaments. In golf it means winning all four major championships. I've always considered a BW grand slam to be SMB/NP/W/LT. But adding LMB to the mix would certainly add a higher degree of difficulty. There is no rule book so it can be whatever you want. I agree with the one day concept.

I've done it but mine is walleye pike lake trout and rainbow trout. I'd rather carp fish than catch a bass.

I've done it quite a few times on multiple lakes on the same trip. I would try Knife lake if you want to get the slam on just one lake.
A real bw grand slam would be all native. Lake trout,walleye,white fish,pike. I guess you could sub eelpout in for whitefish when needed.

I did it back in 1988 on my second solo trip. Several lakes in Quetico though. McIntyre Laker, Sarah and Brent Smallies and Walleye. Northerns in many different lakes. I also caught a bunch of largemouth bass in an unamed lake I bushwacked into off of Sarah.

Good fishing trip that week. A lot happened on that trip including totalling my canoe. And I didn't bring a camera to cut back on weight. Stupid!
