 South Dakota BullThis Bluegill measured in at just under 10 3/4 inches and weighed in at 1 pound 9 ounces. This is my biggest bluegill in 3 years and hopefully not my last trophy of the 2009 season. Once again South Dakota proves it can grow Giant Bluegill. |
 The WinnerThis Canadian Lake trout sealed the deal on a bet we had while fishing Lake Trout in Canada. This 8 pounder brought home the bet for "most" trout on the trip. Not the my biggest lake trout but certainly memorable. |

 Candian PikeMatt Grow caught this nice candian pike in deep water while jigging for Lake Tout. This fish was photographed and released. |
 WhitefishThe only whitefish I have ever caught. These things are fighting machines. Definetly a species I will do some more fishing for. Taken on our trip to Crawfords Camp in Sioux Narrows Ontario. |
 Personal Best Lake TroutI caught this Giant Lake Trout on a recent trip to Crawford's Camp in Sioux Narrows Ontario. This is truely a fish of a lifetime for me. It was caught, photographed and released. It fell victim to 5/16 ounce Slender Spoon in Blue and White from Custom Jigs and Spins. |

 13 Inch PerchThis huge perch came out of 55 Feet of water in Canada. When you catch them that deep, you have to eat them because as you can see there was not chance to release it. |
