Drifted down Ogi, skipped a couple portages, then found ourselves on the last lake... Not aware I was cutting some Z's on our drift across Seagull a laker almost took off with my rod. At first I thought Dogger was pulling the old grab the line and yank trick but to my surprise a small 19" Laker was swimming up to the canoe to say howdy. Shortly after I caught a 19" SM Bass trolling a 2.5oz spoon that made me sing a variety of profanity as I thought it was a nice laker. What a nice way to end the summer just before school started.

p.s. The dates are wrong so when I find out I'll make the changes.
