  It looks like several of the mornings were quite foggy. Or was that due to a fire? How do you keep your canoe next to you when you are on rocks? I do not see any lines. Looking forward to seeing your next video. And I really enjoy listening to your tips, tricks and safety information.

Because YES, if that canoe had ever gotten away from me, with where I was, that could be the end. I would have to swim to shore fighting hypothermia and follow the bank till I find my canoe through thick cover. Then paddle back to camp.

  Those are so big. Can you usually only catch those on the less traveled lakes? I was going to go to Knife Lake and stay there during my trip, but would a place a little farther east have fish like this while Knife doesn’t?

• 
  @MichealGraboschАй бұрын

  I believe every large lake has fish this big. The only thing is most the fish like these are caught in boats on big lakes because it takes a lot of Trolling time/distance to get one. I go to the extreme, Trolling in a canoe until my arms give out daily. I work out year round to have the endurance just for this. Also, you have to target the xl ones by using lures only they would bite on. Which means 7 hrs a day paddling/Trolling, you may only get 1 or none. While using a normal lure, you would catch 15 nice ones and a lot of 3-4 lbs ones

• 
  @MichealGrabosch2 ай бұрын

  I use a gopro 10, I believe. I use a lens on it that costs another $100 called the max lens. It captures a lot more, but the lens can easily get scratched. So make sure it's covered when not in use. I rigged the camera up on a pole. I will show how on my next trip in 1 month at the end of the video which I'll make of it. It involves putting a large bolt reverse through the plug in the back of the canoe, sinking a pole with a fitting on top of it, and then bracing it in all directions with duct tape to the canoe. So I wouldn't advise it unless you're using your own canoe.

  I agree animals like to follow each other's paths. But with the wolf track near there and those paths branching out to only come back together multiple times in grass. I would like to think it was a pack hunting around that lake. The path was made that year, so I would exclude Moose just because the trees that had fallen overhead years before, a moose would not fit. Also, stumps on the ground were not smashed up.

I don't know the trees your talking about or what they looked like but the area I live is nothing but old fallen burned and dead trees everywhere and the moose get through all of that.

  Looks like you got a couple spruce grouse as well. I’ve always heard people call them stone hens, cause they hold so close you could theoretically nail them with a stone.

  They hold very still. I was told by some grouse hunters that the further in bwca you go, the less they are scared of humans. Their main predator is wolves. So they are used to just flying up to a low branch and being 100 ok. Same tactics do not work well vs my bow;)

  Thank you very much. Big northerns take a lot of practice, landing them safe solo in a canoe for sure. Top priority is my safety and then theirs. I always wear them down for a good 20 min before trying to handle them. Then you have to be very decisive when you go to grab them. Any hesitation can lead to a hook in your hand. And holding onto them has to get a death grip. You don't want them flopping on you, throwing the hook into ya, or smacking you out of your canoe.

So that wouldn't be ideal as I don't like the extra chances of something happening in pma. I only allow people to tag along when on a regular route. Stay in contact and my grouse hunt trip in late Sept, I would be happy to possibly have you tag along for a few days. I'd have to get to know you a little bit first.
