Great job!!! That’s a beauty. I used to fish Grand Rapids when I was his age; do you ever go up there? The last time I made that trek was 40 years ago.

I don't know how to add a link that you can click on, but if you highlight it and then right click it will say "go to youtube..."

Ride Red, we have fished Grand Rapids a few times. I think I am going to do a video up there this summer when the walleye are running, and see if I can catch 100. I am glad the title caught everyone's attention :)!

nice bow thru the ice! silly me , I thought all you guys has to fish for there was walleys and pike, although I have heard rumors of something called the Manitoba tiger trout??

[rattling_junkie]

The famous tiger trout. I grew up in BC, but didn't do a lot of fishing or hunting. Since, moving to MB I have done a lot, and can tell you MB has many different species of fish to chase, though our big game are lacking compared to BC.

We used to fish just below the dam for pickerel (walleye) and also caught silver bass. Sometimes when releasing the bass the pelicans would come in and snatch’em up. Crazy to see fish that big in their pouch. Walleye still good there?

[Ride Red]

A friend of my dad used to have a company called “Lil Joe” spoons. He was a machinist making his own dies and made/painted all his lures in his basement. I still have a bunch and they worked extremely well. He also made balsa flat fish which I have too and will put them in a shadow box one day. My first trip fishing was to Grand Rapids and the fishing was phenomenal. Casting under the lights at the dam was cool also as the walleye eyes reflected in the water. Those were great days.

[rattling_junkie]

Ride Red, the walleye fishing is amazing there. No big ones, but many good eaters. I think I'll do a challenge with my son this summer and see who can land 100 fish first.

Very cool:-) :-)

cool looking fish, cant believe the size of mouth on it! I ran into a guy at roche lake last spring who makes a special trip out to Manitoba each year to flyfish for the tiger trout.

Those are some nice lookin rainbows. Been awhile since I had a rainbow on the line. Nothing better to see a kid enjoying the outdoors and smiling. Thanks for sharing the video.
