Old Man I looked at Savage baits when they were only overseas. They really look impressive and the size of their baits verses the all mighty $ they weren't out of this world. I have heard that the eel really produce. I will have some of their jointed lures. I think it's something they "fish" haven't seen to much of if that means anything? Congrats to your catch and day!

COOL!!!!!, I thought with the all big lettered words, you were coming guns A'BLAZEN!!! Peace man, and tight lines to ya. PAP.

Calm down man, the boys are figuring it out, this will take "patience" and time!

Thanks!!, they sure look impressive!!

WOW, those are awesome Vince, are the colors on the side tape also?, who's blanks did you use? I've been kicking around the idea of making my own. Just something different to try when the hunting season comes to a end. Thanks for any feedback. PAP

Absolutely sweet, little fleet see's his first snow. Did he ask "Where's Santa"? LOL.

Yea I hear ya there man!!, I hope this isn't a indication of what's to come.

I like them both, excellent transistion from one color to the next!! Let me know when you want to sell some!! PAP.

Wow those are some four letter word pics. Today it's 23* at 5:30am and it looks like it snowed!! With this heavy frost. Thanks for the pics.

What's going on up there as far as weather? In the north east of PA. we could see our first flakes, some had measurable snow!! It's now 29* with 15/20 mph winds. UUGGG not already. Thanks for any weather reports from YOUR area!!!

Holy hell. Horns to the sky Batman!! Congrats to you and your daughter!! That defiantly a wall hanger. You will need to stay low with the head so the horns don't hit the ceiling!!!! How rattled was she after the shot??

I always wondered if there was a scientific study done on this catch and release? One thread stated by a charter captain said the mortality rate is high, another says most survived. Do the lakers survive from 150 and released when their air bladder is hanging out of their mouths? I doubt it, these two species share the same depths at times. As far as the smallies you don't catch them in numbers like years ago, but again stated above you do catch damn nice ones. I just watched on the National Geographic channel. Draining the Great Lakes. We are in a lot more trouble than we think, and it all starts with zooplankton and the other needs to have a healthy lake. Since the zebra mussels and quaza mussels have cleared up the water the algae has taken a foothold in deeper waters due to the light penetration further in the water column. They showed divers standing in knee deep dead algae and mussel waist. They also showed dead fish all over on the bottom. So the whole wheel of life starting at the beginning good algae to the shrimps to the baitfish to the alpha predetors are being affected. They also stated the water quality is far from stellar, just because it's clear doesn't mean it's clean. One thing someone asked years ago when we went to the hatchery was why when they strip the eggs from the females why doesn't someone clean the fish and give the meat to the needy? The return answer was they are to contaminated. WHAT, the same terms were used, clear water doesn't mean clean water.

One thing people don't realize is the body mass these deer have compared to the southern whitetails, so if the horns look impressive on this buck, then they really are huge. I never really took notice before how big the deer are up in the north country until I went with a good freind over to the Oswegatchie area where they have a camp on the paper mill property. I hope he gives you a chance at him. Best of luck!

X2, King D, your words are carefully thought out with a lot of Intel. Getting off the source just to prove a point. We all know the building industry went to hell 5/6 years ago. Those established enough to hold on are now busier than a 3 armed wallpaper hanger, my family is the proof, from masons to shinglers. Life does go in circular motion wether its a 3 or 5 or longer to get back on track no one knows this answer! You are correct we need to start with the beginning of the circle of life and work from there. Just flooding the lake with kings isn't the answer. One another note would there be such an uproar if it were a different species?? I bought a 2016 fishing license, going to plug away at it again next year. Peace guys we are all in this together. PAP

Wow I felt like I was there, excellent story, with a hell of a nice buck. Congrats to you!!!

That's awesome that the lake gives up that many bows and of that size!! I always wanted to fish the finger lakes, this might give me the "Lets Do This" just to have that kind of action. Thanks for the come back on our posts Iron Duke, I appreciated that! Again best of luck to you on Seneca.

WOW that is a brute!!! Congrats on you placement and good luck on Seneca!

Good shooting there jr. Thanks uncle Bondouley for taking the nephew hunting, great to see the younger generation interested in the outdoors. Congrats to the both of ya.

I was wondering what the hell myself. Then you mentioned apples, Duh, what was I thinking, guess I wasn't.
