Andy June 29, 2012 at 2:24 pm Reply It’s good to see Gord getting in on the perch action. I suspect that is not what he was looking for. I am puzzled by the shot of the pike with the fish carcass attached to the lure. I am assuming you interrupted his lunch hour?
Perchmaster June 29, 2012 at 7:02 pm Reply Yes Andy that is what came up from the throat when we got it in the boat. Interesting meal I thought.
Andy July 2, 2012 at 5:09 pm Reply Perchmaster, I have observed fish burping first hand. I have even been known to have a good conversation with at talkative sheephead/drum. This week however, I heard about a guy that developed a smart phone application that replicates the sound of farting herring. While humans typically use their flatulence to ward off other humans, it turns out herring fart to communicate. Seriously….do a google search. This might fully explain the sometimes quite Mike at VBL. It could be that he has just been trying to carry on a conversation in fish language? If I can find the time, I will do a post on this. I believe the inventor is the same guy that came up with Dr. Juice. Andy
charles Weiss July 3, 2012 at 3:37 pm Reply Great! Looking photographs! The muskie is real nice! It’s good to know all “hell” can suddenly break loose while fishing on “the Big eagle” when a muskie shows – up and starts chewing on what you’re trying to catch. I m glad to see Gord observing safety rules and wearing a personal floatation vest. I wish one day, to return to Vermilion Bay on Eagle Lake in North Western Ontario…
charles Weiss July 5, 2012 at 1:20 pm Reply It’s interesting to note the tail fin of a burbot coming from the mouth of the pike . I guess a LURE with similar colour and action would catch pike at this time of the year.
