Jerry Henrich and his great group of guys recently stayed with us at camp. They really hit the jackpot with the large numbers of fish caught in addition to some nice trohpy size fish. One lively member of the group,Skip,accidentally hooked a huge northern pike just playing around with a rattling bass lure. He got it near the boat and it broke his line. He hurriedly rigged another lure, cast in the same direction and caught the monster again. He was determined to land it this time. Tightening the drag a bit to get it to the boat faster, he was getting it closer when the pike suddenly pulled in the opposite direction, straightened out the hooks on the lure and broke free. It was disappointing to lose the fish, but what an exciting experience to have had. The pictures show the whole group together and some of their catches during their stay.
On one particular day at a smaller lake in the area, they came upon a cow and a calf swimming across the lake. They had hoped to see some moose while they were here, but never dreamed it would be on a lake. It amazes me how a moose can swim being as heavy as they are and only hooves to paddle with. Both mama and calf made it across safely.
