I wish we had anything close to what you have in Minnesota & the few hour long rides to get to some of these awesome spots. Here in MD. we have nothing this good. Thanks for all the great sharing. Nice snow launch & it sure paid off for you on this outing. Stay safe.. Some years ago i spent two weeks there in Itasca County & what a blast it was.

    Matt, One of your best video’s yet. When the fish are too big for the net is a major bonus. They were all nice and thick. In my region they are very scarce and considered a trophy. You had a whole day of them. I get to catch their little cousin Pickerel some call them slime darts. I enjoy their fight and mentality - alpha predator. I would love to catch a Pike or Muskie. It is a goal someday. I also like the fact you primarily use mono vs braid. Everyone is braid crazy. I am sure it has it’s benefits and positive features.
