The water was REALLY shallow...
so Tony w/ the help of Kietan
navigated the boat up the river w/ the trolling motor.
Beaver Dam
Only fish to actually get in the boat.
On this beautiful Fall day I was fishing while reading my magazine.
(have to keep occupied while waiting for the fish to bite:))
The river we were on was south of Rainy Lake, it's about 10 feet wide.
All the sudden I thought I had caught the bottom,
I handed the pole to Tony to get it undone.
He handed it back to me (or I grabbed it back) I had a fish on.
It was a fish alright...I kept saying are you sure it's not the bottom?!
The fish pulled the line, the pole was bending
& jumping out of the water (which I missed).
Then as I am struggling to keep the pole
& line from going to far under the boat a big SNAP..
the fish jumped up out of the water on the other side of the boat....
it broke the line. :(
Tony thinks it was about a three to four foot northern.
Adi kept saying "that was a big fish".
I think I might have been hooked :)
on fishing if I got that one in the boat.
I guess I will have to try again next year.
Love that story! Gorgeous pictures ... such pretty colors. And, love the one of little Kie up in the front of the boat helping Tony! :-)
