Muskoka Lakes, Ontario

Smallmount

My obsession right now. Sad I couldn't get friend on one. Good downscan with clear A-scope is key for these guys

16 fish landed! Trout slam mid-August! YouTube video up @eggplantparrot

Small catch

#catch26 #catch2026 ***NEW PB/FAVOURITE SPECIES ALERT!*** #catch26 #catch2026 ***NEW PB/FAVOURITE SPECIES ALERT!*** HOLY ****! Was just fishing for bass this morning. Was a great morning with one smallie and a couple of rock bass but just then at the weedy area, thought I was caught on some lilies until a big surprise happen by pulling alone. Turns out, this beast of a gator pulled and I was totally caught off guard scared of losing this pike on a dropshot rig. Thank the Lord for landing this apex predator of the lake despite the rough process. Even scarier, given it never wanted to give up easily, it tired to nearly bite me and almost successfully. Yet, I finally beat my previous PB (which is 2.25 lbs) from last year by measuring it to 3.18 lbs (if you remove the net weight). Overall, one of the best mornings I ever had by surprise when it was just a chill and fun morning turned into a big event with this beautiful yet bada*s creature. Safely release and swam strong. Very speechless by the time of posting this. Also some bonus catches prior to this incident during dawn sunrise.

#catch26 #catch2026 Note: this post was from yesterday evening during my first day here on my overnight trip on a Muskoka 5 star hotel. Another bass bites the dust. Kicked bass once again with another smallie. Was slow this late afternoon but before leaving at end of 6pm, manage to figure out how to catch em. Will be going for canoe/kayak fishing tomorrow once more and see if I can catch my first ever pickerel/walleye or a bonus lake trout and pike as an alternative. First time here in this new lake in Muskoka at my hotel dock.
