“No one deserves it more!”
Our esteemed fishing buddy and this years 2009 Eelpout King showed off his talents, once again, with this 15-pound song-of-a-catfish. Eye witnesses to the event commented that landing this fish and beaching the boat on a mid-river sandbar, could have been handled better with a net! Do I see a pattern [...]

Two Northerns On One Line
I felt a bite – or so I thought? I was reeling, when the line pulled tight. I jerked on the line, “I’m snagged,” I called out. As we prepared to backup the canoe, I felt
a tug. “Wait! —No? It’s two fish and boy is he big! Get the camera!,” I [...]

Walleye treats. Good Eats!
As soon as I came home from Lake of the Woods, I had to fry up some nice golden walleye fingers! Fortunately for me, I was the only one home at the time.

Congratulations! To our esteemed fishing colleague Erik Stone.
As Matt Kohout passes the crown to Erik — something fishy has gone arye!
Although, his hands smelled and were slimy with pout juice…There was some debate as to who really caught this fish?
Erik was outside the fish house when this huge burbot took his bait. My brother-in-law Scott [...]

Well, It’s that time again! I just got back from scouting to see if the lake ice has gone out and it has! Most of the ice and snow is now in the middle of the lake. This is the best time to fish spring crappies!
My favorite fishing technique for early ice-out crappies is to [...]
