Fish pictures I posted from my phone didn't work right. Trying again from computer...
~5lb+ Lake of the Ozarks largemouth from my anniversary mini-vacation:
Guys family fishing trip to Lac Seul in Canada. We stayed at Lac Seul Outposts
http://www.lacseuloutposts.com/ Nice cabins, friendly staff, decent boats, affordable, fishing was good (but not great, though some of the other groups had better luck than us).
Pelican Lake Bedding Smallmouth from behind hotel in Sioux Narrows. Full disclosure, I waded out and spotted it, but my cousin Mike (pictured) caught it (my fishing license didn't kick in until the following day).
My Brother caught the only Musky of the week for our group (38"). We saw another boat that caught a 48.5" monster. We saw one over 50" that we couldn't get to commit to a strike. It was scary big. I have no idea how we would have got it in the boat had we managed to hook it.
I only caught one SMB on Lac Seul. The big females were on beds somewhere, but we couldn't seem to locate them.
My best walleye of the week was 24.5". Another group pulled a 30+" supposedly.
The group's best walleye was caught by my dad and measured 27".
My best fish was a Pike pushing 39". A few inches shorter than the one in my avatar, but this one was all muscle and weighted about 5lb more.
We fished around the rapids at the base of these falls and caught tons of small walleyes.
In the same area, Mike caught the biggest fish of the trip, a 40" Pike every bit the stud mine was. The picture doesn't do it justice.
Happy fishing!

. Caught this one last night just as the sun was going down on a wacky rigged Berkley money maker with a 1/8 oz wacky jig head member Smalljaw poured for me. Don't usually use this worm, but I ran out of Jackall flick shakes and picked these up locally. Think I'll keep them in the rotation! Custom 683ml Phenix K2 (Thanks Vinnie!). Megabass FX68 Rosso and shallw SV 1000 spool, 8 lb Seaguar Tatsu. . This big girl had my heart thumping
And all that on 8# test, beautiful stuff!
