    I'm going to jail for sure. Here is Doug's fish. Note the 4/13 date. Thank god the lake was frozen then, or we would certainly be accused of fishing before the season opened.

    Great week! Great hosts! Thanks Laura for taking care of us and thanks to Frank (and Dick) for the sage advice and sharp insults. We had a great time! I do believe Doug has decided to keep coming back with us.

    The Bermingham family tradition continues with Colin's first (but not last) entry into the 50 inch world.

    No you don't. However, it looks the same. As a side note, I did catch one on your birdshit rock on Tuesday.

    Ron's 50 1/4", and his son Ryan, Mr. Honest. With a 49 1/4" most people would have rounded to 50.

    Dick's 53" from Sunday. All he had was his classic home video. Beautiful fish. What you could see of it.

    Today will be self timer 101 classes for his camera.

    Nice.Cheap shots don't detract from quality video of Oscar winning footage of multiple fish.As to the 'timer',you've been saying there's a timer on my camera for 2 years.I see you don bifocals and 'search' modes,settings,and god knows what else besides taking the camera apart yet all I get is timed out.Its time you find the timer.

    OK,OK so the old boy found a 'timer'on my camera yesterday.Its a one shot wonder though and you have just seconds to do things that should take longer.Nevertheless I gave it a 'shot' this morning and it did work.Not a 53 but over 50.
    Managed to still cut part of the tail off but Sow Susie was captured via the 'timer'.
    Not sold on it and likely the first and last 'self timer' pic unless someone can give me a technique that is more fish friendly.
    Thank god I turned on the video cam right away so I have Oscar winning footage-of the type often maligned by some on here.

    Here she be. Even a chimp can learn to use a timer.

    Darren,
    Thats the one,the one with trees and rocks.Straight west of Wiley Point.
    Andrew,
    Would have loved to get a couple more pics that really show the girth.Sweet one weight wise for this early.(although maybe they're already pigging out fearful of ice over soon).

    Well I was feeling sorry for a certain landlubber so mentioned to him I had a new spot that was crawling with 50s.Of course he was interested in that so we went there this evening and by golly he got one.(I took a 45 and left the 50 for him being a gracious host and all).
    I'm sure he'll post the pic I,DPEAR took and also sure he'll want to appologize for previous comments he's made about my photographic skills.
    Finally,if he mentions something about 'reels' and fish that get away,ignore it,simply not true.
    Thank you.

    nice to hear some guys are fishing!

    Looks like mine's bigger, but who's counting?????

    Don't know if he makes a better guide, or photographer.

    We report......You decide!

    Yes, it's a reel sad story...indeed. I'm sure if you ask reel nice, there's a reel good chance to hear the reel scoop on the reel nice fish that somehow managed to get away. This story is so bizarre, that Norm Wild would not believe it.

    Well I'm not admitting anything reely happened but if his story is reel,he reely can't deny that he was messing with my reel while it was possibly happening.And that reely is the reel truth.

    Default Real treat!

    What a treat to see these pictures of our camera-shy host (aka Frank) and Dick with the fish I dream about catching! Great job, guys!
