Barry took the boys fishing the other day and hasnt posted any pics yet. So I'm just giving him a little helping hand and putting them up for him.
This first one is my favorite. Barry and the boys loading the boat.
Donny with a pretty good fight going on here, right before his line snapped.
Mandy trying to talk Bob into baiting her hook for her. Bob aint playing that game.
Old three fingers trying to put the seat on a Rapala knot.
The days final catch. Not too bad for a short day.
Donny cooking the fish over an open fire in the driveway.
Umm, I don't see anything Jim
Heheheh :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
This outta be good
Looks like one ["L"] Of a time I think we need a bit more of a story :alscalls: :alscalls:
Seeing as how we already have the thread started I'll add to it :eyebrow:.
I did get the boys to the lake and we did fish. First Bob catches a decent whitefish.

Then he finds a hole to lose it in :iroll:.

After which he poses with his prize.

This is what it looked like later after he had cleaned and fried it.

A couple minutes later while Bob is attaching a new bobber at the truck a bear came out at Donny and my end of the bridge. I wasn't quick enough on the camera so no 15 yd shot and Don never even saw it and wouldn't believe there had been one :sad:. Then we hear splish, splash as something is stepping in the water. Out comes the bear that Bob had saw from the truck too :bowingsmilie:. The next batch of pics shows it crossing the river and I can now say bears grunt while swimming :wink:.

It started to drizzle on us so we headed up the road to check out another lake and camping spot for future reference :readthis: and danged if we didn't find these guys.

A few calls on a call made from more animal parts than I can remember had them all kinda spooky. The sow put the little guys up a tree and then stood for a photo shoot.

Then she crossed the road again and with some distress sounds I managed a false charge out of her that was totally cool.

Then back to fishing and Donny caught a few Lake trout[all of us did].

His hero shot before turning it into supper.

Then as most folks head for their bunks my guys go to doing this.

Also saw a 160+ white tail that had as white of horns as I see on pictures from down in your country.
That sure looks and sounds like one heck of a trip
Thanks for sharing :laf: :yoyo: :yoyo:
That looks like a heck of a way to spend a weekend.
Nice whitefish Bob! Did you guys eat that, turn it loose, or having it mounted?
Thanks guys, We got to see all that and a lot more.... we ate the fish.
Amazing pictures, no really, the color, the clarity, just amazing pictures. Like I was right there with you.

Nothing better than a trip with your kids.
I think I'd start hunting at your fishing spots. All you'd need is a net and a baseball bat.

Semp, I'll personally guaranty that them bears were in range for a shot from an air soft gun :laf: :laf:. I didn't need to use the zoom feature[which never works for me, much like the rest of the camera] on them three goofs :whew:.
nice pics Barry. thanks for sharing :yoyo:
It was really nice of Jim to help you post your pictures and there are some great shots there, but for some reason, I like the ones that you posted even more. Congratulations to the fishermen.

Barry, I've heard that Lake Trout travels real well packed in dry ice. If you had a mind to ship some my way, I might even be talked into giving an invite to Hawk and Becky to come on down for a good fish fry. It's not really that far for them to come.
Dick
PS Loved the pics and story. We don't have that kind of wildlife around here.
