How was the weather? Well most days were better than this. Somewhere under all that gear is Kim or is it Hannibal Lector?

Contemplations of a great day's fishing on Seabrook Lake. Notice the contentment in her demeanor, this was late in the day of our last day on seabrook; one day after the nice fish and we had four pike over 24" on the stringer and had released many more that size earlier because of the size limit.

Nice stringer of four pike at the launch on Seabrook lake. Someone had set up two easy chairs around a campfire ring in a clearing near the launch on Tidy Bay. This was our last day on Seabrook. The day before a big storm blew in during the late afternoon and by noon on the next day the clouds moved on and we had a bright sunshine day. Interestingly, this did not affect the pike fishing whatsoever.

Shore lunch on Seabrook again. This has to be the perfect area for a great shore lunch. The water area just off shore in the picture is 80 feet deep so the approach to the shore lunch area is easy to navigate. The view is wonderful, with the northern expanse of the lake in sight. Moreover, have you ever seen a better rock on which to cook shore lunch? It was the perfect height, provided room for the cook stove, and a fish batter prep area to the left of the stove. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Ah, fish fried in lard. Nothing else needs to be said.

Roger fishing for brook trout at the water falls on Rapid River. Fishing was great, but the mist from the falls had us soaked in about 45 minutes.

Kim just after landing this Great Northern Pike. The fish measured 42" in length and 22" in girth. My old scales weighed the fish at 14lbs, but these scales are not accurate. Ken and Ruth at the lodge said that a fish that long is a 20lb class fish. Moreover, length and girth tables I found on the internet estimate the fish at 21.68 lbs. It is time to definitely buy a good digital scales.

Hey, I am not too proud to take a picture with someone else's fish. Besides, I put her reel on the rod, feed the line through the eyelets, tied on the steel leader, attached the lure to the leader, told her when to cast out for our trolling run, ran the boat in the perfect path through the cove, told her about the big fish I saw on the depth finder, maneuvered the boat in perfect position for fighting the fish, gave excellent advise as how to fight the fish, landed the fish in the net, and untangled the fish from the net after it got fouled up pretty bad, so I figure I might possibly have some credit for the catching of this fish :)
