First Trip of 2018, Tough day and out of shape

Great job and nice catch. Hoping to take the lad for some perch next weekend.

I went out this past weekend for ist time and used a hut and was still beat, so don't feel too bad


nice fish btw

Beauty fish

Very nice Kong! Now I'm gonna say it,QUIT SMOKING! LOL

Funny you said that. Been thinking about it for the last 5 hours.

I here you brother, time to work a few pounds off after the holidays. Next thing you know its time for readers to tie on your baits.

Nice fish man .
Few More trips and you will be in top shape. You will have good cardio from the walk out .and good upper body strength from fighting giant fish like that one.

Very nice laker F4D.

Glad you got out there and hooked up..

Yes first couple of trips hurt the most, work off that Christmas turkey..

Great fish. Looks like u still got it.

U also reminded me that along with my new drivers license, health card, plate sticker, and emissions coming up in 2 weeks I also need a fishing license.

Geese happy birthday to me

May sound crazy... but even the healthy gym guys are out of breath when they come back in.....they just hide it better. Lol...nor would admit it. it's all worth the trip.

Or two readers!! Lol

Great catch!! On the topic of heart attacks, we all may laugh it off but having survived two heart attacks myself, it's no joke. I was 35 and 38 and the second one I was moose hunting 3 hours west of Thunder Bay so needless to say the effort it took to get me to the hospital was a miracle as the Doctor told me I was extremely lucky to be alive. So my advice to everyone is go get a check up. Costs you nothing but it does give you peace of mind. I'm 50 now and just had two friends pass due to heart issues at 50. Men are stubborn as my wife tells me so we ignore the signs. Just my 2 cents for today.
