My son fishing on Good Lake, 2016. No hook, but he still had a blast.

Laker from Lake Saganagons - June 2013

Fishing for Lake Trout.

Northern on a bass on a zulu. Other Man Lake.

Between Shell and Heritage Lakes. This kid wants so badly to catch fish, works hard at it, will fish in any conditions and was a great canoe mate when it came to wetting a line. We were casting jigs and twister tails below the portage coming from Shell Lake. No monsters but many like this that gave us hours of fun. Now he's serving his country in the Air Force and applying that same tenacity in other areas. Great memories from the BW.

Lake Four. September 2011.

The wifes first canoe trip. She had a blast.

Dan and our dog Lil fishing for Northern's and Lil can't wait until that fish gets in the canoe, not! Fishing on Long Island Lake in August 2017.

Fishing seems to be hard to capture on film. Probably because you are doing it and not taking pictures. Anyhow, this is a bass from Walter Lake in June of this year. The bass and the fly are in sharp focus, the light is good, the fish looks comfortable in a couple inches of water and is at a nice angle in the frame, you can see the rasp like teeth and the rod gives it some scale. I love the facial stripes, the red eyes, the translucent fins, the camouflage vertical bars. Good stuff.

My son's first crappie on LLC.

Money fish! First and biggest!

She had never gotten a trophy, so I set out on a mission. Success on Jackfish Bay!

Most beautiful brookie I've ever caught September of 2011. In Neglige lake

Gillis Laker!

quote MN4thewin: "


Gillis Laker! "

That's big for a Gillis laker.

This was the first laker I had ever caught. Best fight of my life as well.
