Went up to Great Bear lake with my Dad. Absolutely incredible trip, also went to the breathtaking Tree River earlier in the week. We caught a ton of incredible fish, but this one by far the coolest fish I caught on the trip (My dad got a Big Red out of the Tree river which was the highlight of the trip). Trolled a big ole Pink hognose flatfish and it got whacked on the last day of the trip. I've never experienced fishing like I did at Great Bear. The scenery is incredible, the people are incredible, and the fishing is like nothing I've ever experienced.

Definitely one to remember! Was the most trouble I've ever had reeling a fish in. Spent most of the week trolling big T60 flatfish and Hawgnoses and my arms felt like they were going to fall off even before I hooked up. My left forearm was giving out trying to drag it in, had to dig deep to get it. Couldn't be happier!

Its also been pretty good inspiration for me to hit the gym hahaha.
