My Fiance (now wife) cleaning fish, which she loves to do (as well as catching them of course). What more could a guy ask for?

@mc2mens... That big rock looks familiar. Isn't that the one near the rocky point and the pine trees?

Those are some nice looking fish guys! What a monster QueticoMike, bet that guy gave you a good fight.

I posted the first pic in another thread about funny fish pics...It's one of the first fish I ever caught when fishing with my Dad and remember that I was SO proud of it. It's a lousy bullhead but I insisted on keeping it. Second is me and my "fish finder" Karma on Meadows Lake last year. Titled it "give the fishy a kiss":-) I swear the dog never fails...she loves fishing, and shortly after she starts very seriously staring at the water it's FISH ON! Third pic are my 2 favorite fishing pals keeping me company in the shade when I wasn't feeling very well.

That pic was taken on Fourtown last week. The guy in the pic said his name was "Fried Fish". He was slaying the smallies off shore.

This is one of my favorite fishing pictures. Of course my real fav's are of my kids, but I have always really liked this one. It's me with my first Canadian walleye.

I always have to remind my wife that it's a "snap" action to set the hook, not a "lift" of the rod tip.

Southern pike.

It's a practice portage, though the sight of someone schlepping a canoe over the bridge might stop traffic........

Caught this 20ish inch what I think is a female brown trout 2 days ago. Not very big but I can't complain about the first fall run fish of the year. She jumped 3 times which was cool because Browns usually stay down. This is the first picture I've taken of a Burnt Wood creek fish. Typically I like to keep them in the water, take the hook out and let them go.

That's exactly what happened. The camera auto focused, I got the green light to take the photo and woosh, up he went right over the side and he was gone. I checked the camera, phew, I got a pic, I had proof. For a second I thought I'd have a pic of my plier's and my son's Hotwheel car and a fish story no one would believe.

Hot wheel car! ha that's funny. I didn't even see that. Got to keep the little guys entertained somehow when the bite is off though. My son wanted to take his nintendo with one time. Put a halt to that one. I brought a MN fish book for him to study. I have thought about getting him a little remote controlled boat that he could play with when he gets bored.
