For the last few years up until I got hurt 2 years ago , my weekends were spent riding my quad . Now that my YFZ is sold I have kind of drifted away from all the riding and have gotten back into the sport I used to do before the quads I owned came along .
Last weekend , my girlfriend and I headed 2 hours north of where we live and went to my parents home/cottage . To them it's their home ... to me it's still the cottage since it's my getaway from the city . Anyways , when we got there friday night , we unloaded , put the boat in the water and headed out fishing around 6 pm . By 9pm , we were back on the dock with our limit of fish and had thrown back a bunch of them . We mostly keep only the walleye and throw back anything else . That night we hit the hole for walleye and had a bunch of bass that we threw back .
Saturday mornign we were up at 7am and headed out speckle trout fishing in a small river . The weather was overcast and cold but we still put on the chest wadders and went out . We kept a few eaters , but threw back a bunch of little ones ... fishing wasn't the greatest since the water was really low . No fishing that night cuz it rained .
Sunday morning the girfriend and I headed out for more fishing . Once again the fish were biting pretty good and we kept a couple walleye and threw back a ton of bass . My girlfriend missed a NICE walleye that I bet was around 6 or 7 lbs . She thought she was snagged on bottom but then the fish came to the surface and revealed itself . The hook let go about 10 seconds after it had surfaced .
All in all the fishing was good this weekend . Last week my dad caught a 9lbs 4oz walleye and he's getting mounted . Oh I also went on a short ride with the Grizzly , and am happy to report my brake problem has been fixed . :devil:
Anyways , here's a few pictures that I thought I'd share . If anyone has any fishing pictures , post them up !!!

My dog Hunter deciding he's going to swim out into the middle of the lake to join us . It's a good thing Labs are good swimmers , cuz I wasn't going to jump into the water to save him from drowning ... especially not with work boots, a heavy hoody and jeans on . He was tired when he got back to shore !!!
