Fish

These are a selection of fish pictures. I was getting quite proficient at releasing Northerns with a jaw spreader and long nose pliers without having to bring them into the canoe. I caught one Walleye, lots of small Northerns, 8-10 good sized Small Mouth Bass (18-20 inches and 4-5 pounds and a dozen smaller Small Mouth Bass in the 1.5 to 2.5 pound range. With storms going through every couple days, the fishing was spotty at best. A couple days were "fishless". This time I brought more than enough tackle so no problems there. We had one meal of fresh fish and released the rest. Click on any of the thumbnail pictures to see an expanded view.
