	That's my son! that picture makes me smile. You should be in the canoe when he casts those huge baits and starts working them. The boat rocks and moves towards the bait as he retrieves. Not my type of fishing, my tired old arms can't take it, but I've learned to tolerate my son's exuberance. They swear by the big baits and I've seen them work. But... my biggest fish was a 45" NP on a 1/4 oz. jig with a 2" plastic minnow using 6 lb. test mono. and oddly enough my tackle toting son was in that same canoe with me when I landed it.

	Jimmar, I'd hate to get one of those monster lures imbedded in me by an errant cast, but I guess sitting in the stern is the safest place to be. I met a guy in the Q, who used only yellow/white curly tails and a few different weight jig heads and said he'd caught every one of the Grand Slam and some big fish as well. Makes you wonder who's really doing the "catching". I just bought a few of these for my Sept trip. Sort of a cross between a soft bait/spinner. Plan on using 5" Zoom Flukes and troll them.

	Giant exposed hooks......my muskie arsenal has my attention, lots of lures in the ten inch and above range. I wore a rapala magnum like in the POD once right in the palm (fortunately the fish did me a favor and self released). The release plan includes shimano Brutus pliers which measure out at 11 inches. I'm also intending on slipping on a lindy glove for good measure. Worst case scenario include some Klein wire cutters , heavy duty, which can cut a hook out of a fish or some flesh if need be.

	Ironically the only time I had a hook embedded in me (my thumb) was from a F-18 Rapala back in the barbed hook days. I had my Leatherman handy and cut the the end of it off and released the 15+ LB Northern that was also attached. The Atikokan hospital, a common sense doctor, scalpel and credit card was all it took to remove it.
