Finally bought my first boat!

I’ve got a lot to learn a-z.

But there will no be more excuses of

“If only I had a boat”

Excited to fish Hartwell, Clark’s hill, and Jocassee in the backyard

And then take some adventures to the low country, the seven mile bridge, lake Erie, lake Winnapeg and lake Nipigon.

60’-70’ foot deep.

Caught one 40” er jigging with live scope and one trolling.

Caught (2) 40” (1) 35”, (2) 38” , and (1) 39” lakers … The 3rd laker I caught was 40”. They put up a great fight.

Laker fight like pit bulls… one pulled 60 foot of line on a run.

The guide told me that they were big fish..

I was on the hunt for the big pike 40” or over

I was a little disappointed catching 35” pike until I landed my 45” northern.

Fishing is fishing no mater where you go or if your using livescope or sight fishing fish 8’ of water.

I caught the big one after I relaxed and made a toss with an experimental lure that wasn’t aided by livescope or sight fishing.

Good hook set and good play from missing a lot of other good fish throughout my life. Everything came together on that fish.

I came away with a good story and prepectice on life and fishing.

3 / 3

It took me 20 years of fishing trips to Canada catch a 40 plus inch northern.

I took a (3) day trip to the Northwest Territories expecting to catch a 40” every catch.

A cold front moved in before we arrived…the fish were tight lipped.

On the last day I used a fly from NC and a Hawaiian fly casting bomber on a whim the pike exploded out of the water like a tarpon.

My daughter had a blast.. ready to get a boat and learn how to catch bass on Hartwell.
