Couple pics from my Minn (BWCA) trip...

JRL · 06-20-10, 07:58 AM

Hooked these 2 fish on a neon 1/4 jig/leech combo. I believe I hooked something else, maybe a walleye, and then they came up and ate it post setup.

The fish in the action shots snapped my line on it's final run. Was about 1 ft longer then the fish I'm holding. Had my hand in it's Gil and was about to lift it for a pic..... But if you've ever seen a pike open it's mouth up close it's hard not to let go.

Got both on 8# test with no leader. Wil be posting a vid on YouTube. Pics are a little rough. Transferred from my camera to phone to net.....

Caught them on the Canadian boarder in Minnesota. Place called the Boundry Waters.

Only have the net on my phone now so my surfing habits have been cut big time. Was in Wellington yesterday. We vertical jogged 12 Chanel cats!!! Crazy stuff. Bass were no where to be found.

I'll be the first to admit it was complete luck. Perfect side lip hook and was manually controlling the drag with my hand on the rim of the reel.

Thanks! You're a lucky guy to have such a cool park in your state! The smallies are a little pesky though.

haha! Darn, should gave them to me! I'm only one exit away!

BassFeverJohn · 06-21-10, 07:12 PM

Man, i really hope this wasn't too presumptuous of me, but i really wanted to see the fish better so I did a slight touch up on the pics in photoshop.

Anyway, if you don't like it tell me and I will delete them.

You have to click on them to see the full size.
