One additional note, I think everyone enjoys seeing all the pictures which are entered in the contest. I just want to note that there is a rule that in order to win the photo needs to be uploaded to the site to win. The reason for this is there is technology dependent on site loaded photos in order to move winners to other pages automatically and enters winning photos in the year end contest. I apologize for the any inconvenience.

I have a better picture of the same fish I don't know maybe I'll edit that as my entry. But anyway northern from my '04 trip. I hooked that one in the eye.

BWCA Trophy

I love this picture because it has my son and I both in the picture. I had the pole and he got the Northern into the canoe with no net.
Lake William, Quetico.

An Kawishiwi River Walleye, from Lake Insula... June of 2004.

Bruce

Nice canpaddle. Akma I chaught my pike on Insula littrally 1 month after yours. I want to find some of my other shots of it.

To my surprise Lora was catching a lot of Suckers on Gun lake last year.

Here Are A Couple of Lakers From Fat Lake In the BWCA.

This trout had seen fresher days as he was dragged through a few different lakes before we ate it, this photo was dubbed rigor trout (rigormortis)

AKA troutcicle

Fellow paddler on Malberg Lake June 2006.

That's an awesome fish photo, Singingloon!

This WAS going to be lunch.

Hey Canoepaddle, that's the same fish I caught in the BW! :-)

It was the first fish that he ever caught.

Here is a picture of my son Mike with a 29 inch walleye taken on Red Rock Lake during the first week of June 2006. Izzy

And my other som Jim with a 29 inch walleye taken on Alpine Lake the last week of May 2005. Izzy

lake ojibway last july. smallies are some of the best fighters

Northwoods Gold!
Ahh...those Agnes 'eyes.

BWCA Agnes, August 2002. Caught by my 12 year old son. His first trip and the fish of a lifetime!

I love your picture Snakecharmer! I think your entire picture tells a story! I like that you can see the lake where the prize was caught, you have captured the expression of pride on the gentleman's face, and the fish almost seems happy to be someone's dinner!

Really, really good!

Heidi

Gentleman????pride???? That's a smirk and it ain't no gentleman!

Thanks Lost Paddle! That photo is a favorite of mine for some of the same reasons you mentioned. And I like to think that the fish still roams the rock piles and wind-swept shores of Lake Agnes - it was released seconds after the picture was taken.

Lake Trout on Little Trout Lake May 2005

42" Northern Pike caught on Beaver Lake trolling a daredevil. Had to paddle to shore to land her. CPR'd, estimeted weight 21lbs.

One of my favorites- mostly because I'm a bit younger! Laker on Oyster Lake.

Lake 3 Lunker, caught Memorial Day Weekend 2005. It was only slightly smaller than the single walleye caught on this trip.

Mouth of the Horse River on Horse Lake. That's my brother trying to show off 'ol slimy.

These LLC Smallies warmed up a cold Mid-May morning.

Size is in the eye of the beholder! My son displays the only Walleye caught on our June '06 trip. It was our last day and he knew he out-fished his Old Dad! You can see it in his eyes!

Always on time.

Dinner!

Late May last year on Gabi...This is my buddy's 9 year old on his first BW trip.

Caught on Meeds Lake at the beginning of a 10 day solo in 2005.

Uncle Moose is the undisputed winner. Wow, what a fish. How did you get the hook out? Where did you buy a hook that small?

two for one!!!

He wasn't very big, but he had an attitude. Small Walleye. Slim Lake.

Nick - Here's a link to that lure we used to catch this whopper. He put up quite a fight, but we finally managed to tired him out.

The Lure

Uncle Moose....I love giant lures like that. And that thing she's holding isn't bad either.

LOL!!! ;-)

Uncle Moose.... is there a lure in that picture? I looked for over an hour and I still don't see a lure!!!

Holy Schnikey! Do you think they're real? The lures I mean.

Just like a good fisherman...Always have TWO of your favorite lures.

Thomas lake Lake trout

Nice trout!!!

Thanks Fishguts...it was my first laker..8 lbs.

Shore lunch harvested from Pipestone Bay of Basswood Lake.

Oyster Lake laker

Well you can see why I have never given any fishing advice. The only picture I can relate to is canoepaddle's.
Boppa

Kawishiwi River May 2004
It weighed a little more than 15lbs.
Caught on a jighead and white twister tail.

Gabbro Lake - We threw this "Grandpa" back to live another day!

In a tough but fun contest to judge, the winner is Snakecharmer! Congratulations!

Singingloon wins the additional hat.

The trip report contest winner is Kawashaway2!

Thank you everyone for sharing your work and your fish!
