Good idea KF!  Are there prizes, by species, weight, and lie, er story? 

prouboy

The idea was to have a QJ Member fish photo album.  Just a picture, date, location, etc...  whatever you wanted to share I guess.  Keep it on topic, make comments, have fun and good luck this summer!  Please imbed the photo - no external links to click through.  Kind of an in-line fish only POD No prizes - just bragging rights.

Thank you PJ

OH...so sorry.

Locale: Rivs Goldmine just north of the infamous X marking the spot.
Time. March 2010 just before ice out
How: I drilled a hole and I wet my line and let the minnow swim and teased em to bite my minnow.

Ok here is a little story about my son's tropy 44" Nothern caught last week.

Were were base camping on Sturgeon Lake and fishing near Scripture Island. It was very cool, windy and raining off and on, at times raining hard and at times no rain at all. I had just caught a 20" walleye on a troll crossing a rocky point. It had an old battle scar near it's tail that was well healed. It was mid-afternoon so I put it on the stringer to save for dinner. My stringer is just a long piece of para-cord with a caribiner tied to the end. I slit the lower jaw of the fish and stick the caribiner through. It will hold about 3 medium sized walleyes. The fish was securely trailing behind the canoe, and we decided to make another trolling pass on the rocky point. I heard a loud splash. I thought it was the Walleye getting a bit fiesty. Looking into the water I saw, about 4 feet down, there was a huge northern with my dinner in its mouth. It was clamped on pretty good, I could see the head of the walleye sticking out one side of the jaw and the tail sticking out the other. I grabbed the para-cord and pulled the pike to the surface. I was tempted the try to reach down and grab it, when I heard my son say "NO Dad, DONT!" I battled with the pike for about 30 seconds, holdin on to the cord, before he let go. It pulled the back end of the canoe around, quite a bit as we both were tugging back and forth on the cord.

Dan started to throw some big baits, trying to catch it, as he suspected it was still hanging around looking for a meal. He tried the F18 FT Rapala, that he'd caught his 42" on the day before, then the PIG, then the Suick. That did it! He hooked the fish and battled it for about 25 min., while I paddled to the shoreline. He jumped out of the canoe and unhooked it for this photo. We made sure to revive it thoroughly and it swam away freely.

Next months fishing tip..........."Start out with a long piece of parachute cord"..........

Is that a real birch bark basket? Is there a story with that?

Old Salt had to really struggle to fit the whole fish in the photo. That's the largest northern I've ever witnessed caught. Truly the fish of a lifetime. Nice job, Snowdog! BTW, it only took 1/2 hour or so to land her.

Any guesses as to the magic bait? It wasn't one of the 'standard' pike lures.

Nice one! So what WAS the magic bait. A 1/4 oz.jig and twister tail?

My school group fished on Ensign - northwest bay - caught ~ 50 pike, 10 bass, 2 walleye, 1 perch in 3 days with rapalas and spoons.

Thanks to my wife for the camera work.

Nice video. I had to wait for it on dial-up but it was worth it.

You are a brave man. You scooped up that whopper pretty quickly. I'm a big chicken and ususally let 'em float next to the boat a while before I make the grab. I had a bad experience a few years ago trying to hand land a hot pike.

I see you used the same trick I do to attact the big pike.

  Wow!  Great fishing!  How do I join your group?

yes it is and i got hooked the same day i got a 43 in pike so that made up for it!

One more.

Thanks old salt. Hopefully all of the great tips from everyone on QJ are starting to sink in.  

Ahh

Well I've been giving other people a hard time about not posting fish pics and I still haven't figured out how to reduce the KB size of my pics.  

I'll try this..........here goes

It worked, but sort of big. Man, I look kinda rough . This fish was released BTW. Basswood, July/2010

If I had to pick only 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants and was going to be out for 3 months there is no doubt I would choose railriders. The best outdoor adventure clothes on the planet. Period.

Walleye out of Conmee Honey Hole!

Personally, I'd have enjoyed the humor much more w/o the new name. This too shall pass sissy boy poster child. Perfect pitch notwithstanding.
