  He caught another bass just smaller, then Hooks into a muskie on his little zebco pole. He hooked a small perch and was bring it to the boat when out of no where came the muskie. I tried so hard to fight his muskie best i could. Other boats were coming to our aid, But the muskie won this time :(. Of course he told me he couldv'e landed it..........................

Very nice! WTG!


Your mention of the muskie reminded me of a summer day many , many years ago when a 24" northern pike got on my hook.

Man what a fight! Look at those teeth! Most wicked catch I ever had.

Thanks for the memories!

Adog your not kidding. I remember going to kingston  as a youth. but I had no clue how much fun ontario really is. Fish caught  Pike, Perch,Rock bass, large mouth bass, Small mouth bass, Blue gill, Sunfish, trout  and 1 muskie hooked but not landed. Game seen  Black bear, deer, fox, and moose. With a Eagle thrown in for good measure. All this plus wife and us found crystal's and many other minerals digging at bear lake diggings. all this was done in 4 days and 20 mile radius of Lodge.........




Oh and less I forget people were all right too......

Rod that picture took me right back.

I caught a 5 lb walley when I was his age, unassisted with a zebco 202. Who knows, maybe he COULD have caught the muskie.

Glad to hear you guys had a good trip.
