Saturday, June 16, 2007 Got up and ate a good breakfast of French toast and hot coco. Jr continued to fish from shore while I cleaned up camp. Later on I finally talked Jr into trolling from the canoe. We went out and within 15 minutes he had a strike. We were trolling for northern's and he was using a red/white daredevil (same kind I use as a kid) when he got a strike. He did not set the hook in time so he reeled it in.  I told him to cast it back in the area where he had gotten the strike and WHAM he hooked something. He started to reel it in and when the fish got closer we saw it was a good size northern. I don't think I will ever forgot that northern looking up at me from the right side of the canoe. Wish I had not lost the camera, since this was one of those once in a lifetime events (his first real fish). Jr found out early that VNO packed us a nice collapsible fishing net and he had brought it with us. He was able to land the fish in the canoe, but could not get the hook off. He also saw how sharp their teeth are. That fish had swallowed the lure all the way down to the gills. So with the fish flapping around the bottom of the canoe we headed back to camp to remove the lure and put the fish on a stringer. Jr was really excited although he didn't want to show it.  I cleanup camp/tent while Jr did some more fishing from shore with no luck. Later we went back out to do some more trolling and Jr got another strike, but this time he didn't have the lure tied to the line line very good, so when the fish hit the lure it got away along with the lure. We fished a bit more and then back to camp to clean and cook the fish. Had a good fish dinner the all the trimmings and later a campfire. Good ending to a great day. This was definitely the best day of the trip.
