Opening Day....SNOW!!!
Today is the opening day for rifle season in Ontario and we were greeted with blizzard-like conditions. Snow, wind and cold temps. Oh well...this should get the deer moving around a bit!

I have not done a good job at keeping the reports updated over the past month or so but I have a good one from this past weekend. Two major Sunset Country records were smashed over the weekend.
On day one, Matt Rydberg and Brian McNanney brought in a five fish limit that weighed in at 25.00 pounds, way bigger than any other bag I have ever heard of.
On day two, the eventual tournament winners, Darren and Ray Marcine of Kenora brought in a 7 pound, 10 ounce donkey that anchored their bag. This fish was huge and may be the biggest bass ever weighed in at a Canadian bass tournament.
Enjoy the photos.
Savy and I took second place at the Kenora Bass International on Lake of the Woods August 6-8. We had a tough go on day one and sat in 47th place. Things changed though on day two and we set the all-time tournament record with the biggest one-day catch ever! 20.52 pounds!!!! I also caught my personal best Canada largemouth that day as well, which took big bass of the day. 5.72 pounds. Day three we had a good catch but were beaten by .02 (Yes, two one-hundredths of a pound) by our buddies Brian McNanney and Matt Rydberg of Sioux Narrows. www.kbifishing.com
Overall, it was a great tournament, the organizers and volunteers did an awesome job!
John Peterson from Northland Fishing Tackle and I took third place at the recent Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship at Rainy Lake. It was my best finish in this tournament so we were pumped! www.canadianbass.com
Chris Savage and I sky-rocketed from 32nd place after day one to 1st with a day two catch of 20.20 pounds. Our two-day total of 35.74 pounds earned us $12 000.
