Get rid of the GM. Get the new one to fix the goalie situation.

I was out yesterday with my brother and we caught about 10 fish. This one came in at 29 and 3/4 in. What a freaking tank! He has caught bigger but I have never seen one this big caught by angling...not in person.

Comrie is 3-0-0 with a sv% of .915 so far!

Kyle Connor having a whale of a game tonight in Detroit.

You have to throw them back to make sure the big ones stay in the system. We have a world-class fishery when it comes to the Red River where you can catch a Master angler in five or six different species. Since I started fishing the river two or three weekends ago I have caught a Master angler Bullhead a Master angler channel catfish a Master angler gold eye and I caught a walleye that was 3/4 of an inch away from a Master angler. We have people from all over up here right now fishing the Red River for walleye. It isn't all that hard to go out in June and catch 30 or 40 big catfish with most of them being over 30 in and hardly any under 24. I don't believe you are allowed to keep a walleye over 28 in either. Some people that live around here don't realize the great fishery we have. I forgot to say, there's nothing wrong with a 16-year-old cutting up a pike and trying it out.

Comrie gets a W in his first game played this season.

We only kept 4 walleye and 1 sauger that day. That 25 incher went back to grow bigger and lay more eggs and hopefully become a master angler (28 inches) for someone else to catch. Nobody wanted the Pike and you're supposed to throw anything over a 24 inch catfish back. My bro and I were out today and probably caught 65-75 saugers. We kept 6 and my fiance and the two of us ate them when we got home and cleaned them up. I don't mind keeping walleye in the freezer if I could ever get around to catching more than a few of them. I might have 7 or 8 lbs. in the freezer right now but most will go at a family dinner in a couple weeks. No food goes to waste. If we hook a fish in the gill, we try our hardest to get the hook out with minimal damage. Barbs are not allowed in Manitoba so it makes that job easier. If we don't think he is going to make it, he comes home with us. Back at it tomorrow morning.

It was a fun time with an old friend I recently re-connected with and a friend of his. The 31 inch cat was the first cat I have seen taken while trolling. Not common to catch pike in the river but certainly not uncommon. The 35 that I caught was hooked on is tail. It is right up there as the best freshwater fight I have had. I hooked a 36 inch carp by the dorsal fin years ago and it was quite the fight as well. I was reeling this cat in for 3 or 4 turns of the reel thinking it was another small sauger and then it almost pulled my rod (2nd time I had the rod and reel out since I bought them) out of my hand. I caught a 27 inch walleye the first day out with it. Staying away from the river today and tomorrow as there are a couple of wallye derbies going on but will hit it again on Monday. The next 8 days will consist of 6 days of going after fish, ducks and grouse. I might slip in a day for alcohol. Come on down. 25 minutes out of Winnipeg. I'll take you out. Regarding saugers, they breed with walleye and you get a hybrid they call saugeye. I am sure some of them were saugeye.

About 50 saugers and five keeper walleye as well as a 25-in that went back in the water. A 33 inch northern pike, a 31-in channel catfish and a 35 inch Channel catfish. All fish were caught trolling in 12 ft of water banging crank baits off the bottom.

You can't tell the difference.

Caught a 27 1/4 inch walleye on Saturday with my stepdaughter and her husband. 3/4 of an inch shy of a master angler. We caught 24 fish in all but we only took home seven.

I went out with my brother yesterday and we got into the saugers big time. We kept eight of them and also took home five goldeyes/mooneyes that were a good size

The new Stoeger worked well. Not near as many this year as there have been the last 3 years.

2 x 3.25m. Good deal for both parties involved but I would have preferred a long-term deal.

Most fans are happy with the deal. I'm of the opinion that if you don't want to be here, see ya.
