Pike Hunter

Congratulations on the 2nd! I wish we could sign up for this exciting event. Perhaps, we could do it next year with the IBAY Team.

WTG Hans. Its good to see you take out your brother for a serious Lake Ontario fishing. Not to rain on your parade, I believe your big fat laker would have placed on the LOC board. Regardless, I am confident that you and your brother had a very nice quality time fishing together. Tight lines!

That was a real fun morning of fishing on your boat! I am very glad your boat ran fine despite the occasional alarm chirps. The best hit yesterday was hard to swallow one because when that fish took off the with 42nd spoon from the 85 rigger, I knew it was a serious big bad King as it took off like diving submarine ready to engage into a battle mode. The fish torpedoed immediately instead of the traditional fight when the fish would start swimming away from the boat and breaking out the surface. This did not happen, it just went down and down before it disappeared. It is one of those things that makes fisherman like you and I want to come back for more. By the way, my family was very happy when they saw a nice grilled steelhead and salmon fillets on their dinner plates. Thanks for the excellent adventure!

Way to go Rod and the boys! You must be a very proud Dad!

Captain Chris has done it again! We did not only just find fish but we landed them on your deadly spread. I like it when we view fishing like a baseball game wherein each inning presents you with a different challenge. We were able to recover quickly as we focus on the upcoming pitch. Each hits has turned into runs. Best part was the nice king at the end. It was like the 9th inning when the homer has saved the day. My arms are like rubber. I need to sign up for gym membership to help my arms fight the kings. Thanks Chris for the terrific fishing experience. Best of luck to participants in the pro am and open. Safe Fishing everyone.

Way to go!

It is a always a good sign whenever your cooler is overflowing with fish It is even better whenever your fish gets placement on the LOC board. Congratulations!

Great job on landing the kings! We had more drops while fishing east of ibay. on the good report. Tight lines!

The captain Doc has done it again. His humbleness will never tell you when he broke the 100 mark for the number of fish he has caught this year on his boat. Talk about the speedy train, I made a bonehead move when I failed to put the net in front of the x50+ MPH salmon before it made a kamikaze move into the prop. That 11# steelhead surely has fooled me into thinking it was a 20# contender! I think it took men good 15 minutes reeling in that rascal. Quick addition. Slow troll seems to be the theme. We had numerous hits inside the rigger and the divers while the oat turned. As always I'm very thankful to LOU for meeting up a great buddy like Chris. Agent orange. Same here nice meeting ya. Safe fishing everyone!

Reading your post has brought me a good laugh This is just what I need to start the day. Tight lines!

Nice job, Ted!

I dont have the exact count. This is a general information: Willie Bait File--4 panel with spoons and J plugs. Holds a total of 168 lures (132 spoons and 34 J Plugs) Each compartment holds about 33 or 34 spoons.

Bump. Accepting best offers.

I enjoyed reading the fishing adventure of yours! Congratulations on hitting em hard!

About the quick storm that passed us twice within short time, I was worried about the lightning because I was fighting the fish on the 400/500 copper. Back in my small brain, I was very thankful that I am current with my life insurance policy should anything happens. As the storm started to brew up again, that was when I gave up the fighting the fish on the copper and worked with you to clear up all of the lines and the planner boards. I must admit that I enjoyed the wild wet ride back to the dock along with the torrid rain and thunders above our head. Even my deaf ears can "hear" the booms from the thunderstorm. Moral of the story, be safe and you will be able to go back fishing anytime under clear sky. Chris- as always thanks for the great time on your boat!

Way to go Chris & Kevin! This king is a huge monster! Congratulations on landing thus brute! [ Post made via iPhone ]

Whenever you and your bro catch this monster pair of kings, then this calls for a double shots of your favorite drinks for you and your brother! Congratulations!

Holy Sweet Brown! Congratulations on the derby fish!

Excellent job, Mike! Thanks for sharing this report. The baits seem to be close as you mentioned they were found in 110 FOW. I take it you were fishing the screen because there was no mention of the down temp. Happy 4th!

Ahoy Captain Chris! I wanted to chime earlier however I just got back home last night after my trip to NYC and Long Island. After we fished last Saturday, my arms were so tired and I barely could keep my arms up on the steering wheel for a 6 hours drive. In a few words, I am very fortunate to share this exciting fishing experience with you and your bro Kevin. 20 plus catches is nothing to sneeze at. After covering the grounds way way east of I-Bay, we can verify that the fish were there indeed! Looking forward to catching more fish with you and your bro! Thank you for the great time on your boat. Anthony
