No news - pretty much guaranteed you'll have a marginal victory now but I maintain making it this far was a (im) moral victory of my own lol

 

[techumseh]

The Sioux village of Lower Santee captured. Will the Sioux rebellion end?

No news - pretty much guaranteed you'll have a marginal victory now but I maintain making it this far was a (im) moral victory of my own lol

I have to say I'm disappointed by my progress.

I wasn’t able to get a round in before I had to leave this morning and I won’t be back until Tuesday

If you’ll allow me a proud father moment, my son pulled this whopper out a short while ago. 16.44lb at 42”. Probably won’t amaze our European or Canadian friends but man if this isn’t the biggest anyone with his last name has ever caught on Lake Champlain!

Muskie? Pike? Obviously from the Canadian side. We keep warning those damn fish about the Americans!

 

[JPetroski]

It’s a northern and the biggest one I’ve ever seen out of Champlain. Caught it near Crown Point. They’re rumored to get a tad bigger here but not much honestly. I’ve been fishing the lake for some 35 years or so and never got anything even close. Oddly, we found them all stacked somewhere they never are, and we got sick of catching 10lb after he landed this one lol. Not bad for a nine year old!!!

Enjoy your break. Crush ya later!
