Hiya Bunk,
I see your summer was just what I would have imagined for you.
Your report does not disappoint, nor do the excellent photo's.
Are those girls growing at warp speed, or what?! They are both adorable, and doubly so with fish in hand!
The GIANT pike picture............
Congrat's on your best-yet muskie. I know just what you mean about them leaving you wanting more. Although I've only tangled with tiger muskies (hybrids) to date, my feeling is similar and I equate them to potato chips: ya can't have just one!
Awesome summer journal, Bunk. It must have taken you a good chunk of time to put up such a bunch of memorable pic's.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

I had been missing all the good Bunkah posts as of late. Thanks for sharing the stories and photography dude. I always go down stairs and grab a cup of joe and settle in to read one of your reports. I'm with Iceman, you should write a book of your escapades and all the characters you get out with

Wow, where to start!
- Happy to see you wetting a line in the area with Grant on occasion as I miss those opportunities a lot now; great second picture with Grant and the colorful musky!
- What kind of camera do you use for all of your fishing adventures by the way?
- Love to see the family shots too...what great memories you've captured!
- So have you adapted to living down South or is the interest to live in more remote parts with looonger Winters still within ya'!?
Tight Lines...Great pictorial report!

Cameras are the Lumix's. Panasonic DMC series. Now onto my third one. Graduated 4mp to 6mp now 10mp. Good price and they don't let me down. Software at home is an older Jasc program. What you do in the darkroom is as important as taking the pic.ratsotail wrote:- What kind of camera do you use for all of your fishing adventures by the way?

Up until sometime in the spring I was still thinking about home in the north daily. Missing it. Comparing everything to it. At times allowing it to fester. That stopped awhile and now it's just every so often. Logically I break things down into the 5 F's. Family, friends, finanaces, fishing and fun... and those have all changed in different ways and I can't truthfully say when it's all added up which is the better for me as they're both good... it's just I know now that my girls are given more opportunities which they should have, and so far they're really happy... So, that makes me happy.
The spirit is still alot more free in the north though... and the time here seemingly goes by more quickly. To say I didn't take one day solo camping this summer somewhere waaaay out there... changing of the times.

Awesome read and great pics as always, Bunk!! Looks like you've enjoyed a great season so far...
Love the shots of the family enjoying the fast-water bass fishing. I know that exact spot, and have hiked with my clients from the treatment centre there a few times. A beautiful place and the rock formations are something else..
Thanks for putting in the time to put this one together..
Good Fishing,
Justin

Dood! your summer journal is as good as it gets. There are alot of awesome photos and written entries that best describe what it's like to balance and embrace a new beginning with your family, friends and way of life.
You are a lucky man, husband and dad!
Kesagami tour was the bomb though!
Cheers!
