Personal bests for summer of 2013

Marmion giveth....and Marmion taketh! No better case for tether and PFD to say the least. Fortunately you and your dog were only shaken up, not seriously hurt.

My buddy is from Atikokan and fishes the floods all the time. Even at that, he did about the same thing during the same tournament a couple years ago. Only with a 90 though, not a 225. He too was fortunate enough to be okay, but I think it opened his eyes a bit. Just goes to show that no matter how well you think you know a water body, always be prepared. In the words of Dave Letterman - safety first, kids.

31.5 inch 10.8 lbs walleye. Biggest I've caught so far.

Best fishing this summer happened after I spent the day helping a friend pour concrete for his new camp foundation. I kept my 6 year old son moderately busy for the day until finally he had enough and wanted to go back to our side of the lake to have a sauna and watch a movie. We tossed two lines with bobbers off the dock and caught our limit of nice eater sized pickerel and two over 18", the biggest being 21" in 45 minutes. We'd watch the bobbers from inside the sauna and run out to catch the next wally. He called it the best time he ever had at camp! First fish ever caught off the dock in five years of owning the camp!

Nice fish,I still have a photo I need to send you of that 30.5 steelhead I took from across the river after you landed it and excitedly reported its length to me lol. Let me know if you just want it posted or emailed to you.

[Monks 164]

Those are some great fish Wampa.

Monk it's nice to see the insurance company is coming clean...............who will do the work on the transom.?

Mike

All Brand Boats Repair, in Steinbach is doing the transom, and repainting the boat as well. Lund came good for Warranty work as the paint started flaking off the boat first trip in the water.

[Monks 164]

I still cringe looking at that damage on the boat.

Glad you made it through that Monks!

How is your dog?

you nail it when you say wear your PFD on tethered kill switch!

Roger

Yes im glad as well. Dog is fine, I don't think he even noticed flying in the air a few hundred feet! That's a Lab for ya.

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

This past fall I fished my first tournament (Shebandewan Fall Bass Classic) and won big fish day one and 4th place for the day 1 tourney, ended up placing tenth over all for the weekend. Combined with all the other amazing fish, an amazing fly fishing season, meeting some great fishermen from this site, personal best season overall. I thank this site for making most of this happen. Cheers all!

Caught a 29 inch and 30 inch walleye on May long 2013, my two biggest walleyes. They were caught within a few minutes of one another. Pictures turned out a little dark.

My personal best came from Marmion Flood Waters as well this year on September 29th. A 21.25" that weight 5.70lbs and a 20.5 that weighed 5.31lbs. We sacked a 24.06lb limit to win the fall event. The would have been a perfect day except for when I I smacked a rock. I dont know how we made it back, but we did.

[Travis Schallock 28]

Caught a 22.75" pre-spawn smallmouth on Cordingley a few days after ice off. Got a pic around somewhere I'll try to find.
