Summer is over and fall is in the air. We are looking at lows in the 20's tonight :o Winter will be here before we know it. I thought this would be a good time to start a thread for everyone to post photos of their adventures from this past year before we get into the heart of the tackle-crafting season and reminisce some of those “big fish” stories. Feel free to chime in and share some of your photos/stories from this past year and enjoy a few of the photos below from us at team Do-It.

What a great idea, Jordan.
-
The trouble for a lot of us is being able to post pictures! I love seeing everyone's fishing pictures though! :D
-
I love the colors in that laker. Those smallies are something else too.
-
Great idea. No fish in this pic but one of the group back in a remote wilderness lake in Canada we portaged into. Notice the Muck boots. I think I go there for the camaraderie as much as anything else. If you think we look like a group from Ocean 11 then maybe we are. The guy in the Ohio State hoodie is in the military and had to have special clearance to board the plane because his luggage showed positive for C4 explosives. Trust me it's never boring with this group.

Well, the guy in the hoodie is good lookin' and has that rugged look. You other guys...not so much.

For my Son's 30th birthday we finally took that long discussed trip to Canada and it was well worth it! We stayed at Hyatt's Manion Lake Camp http://hyattscamp.com/ which is about 1.5 hrs. northeast of International Falls, MN. It's a "drive to" camp and WELL worth the effort!! The cabins were clean and comfortable and the smallmouth bass fishing was outstanding! Most go for the walleyes...but my Son and I went to fish for the smallmouth.
We caught at least a couple hundred 16-19" smallmouth and at times it was one every cast. Big beefy fish too!
We are planning to go back again next year...but maybe not...Andrew just found out that his wife is pregnant with our 2nd Grandchild...and due 3 weeks before our reservation! Ummm....I wonder how much trouble we would be in if we went anyway?????

I just love that area of Canada. I think the wildlife and fishing in general is better. We drive up 502 to Sioux Lookout and then portage from there. Only a few smallmouth up there. Where your at the smallmouth are like little footballs and fight like crazy.

I hope you and your son are still making that trip on his 50th birthday, Andy.

I'm in the process of creating a website and TPO and I ( mostly her) put this video together. Some of the pictures are more than a year old. Hope you enjoy it.

Great video Denny. Pass that on to the better half if you will.
Seeing those kids with the fish just doesn't get much better.

I'm defending freedom for the next 2 hours but I'll see what I can pull together. Denny set the standard pretty high, if you like people posing with green carp ;D

Had a pretty good year fishing, it was to short but it was fun.
Found some nice smallmouth on a local lake.

Best fishing of the year was when it was with my daughter.

DF, you always do a nice job capturing the moment.
-
That pic of the sun in the tree is calendar worthy!
-
Thank you everyone for sharing your pictures and stories. Keep them coming! I love reading about memories made in the outdoors. This is what fishing is all about! :D
-
OK, I got a picture to load in the Gallery. From left to right, My son Brian, Me (muskygary), my son Shawn, My grandson Jared and Jack. We caught 11 fish on the charter, 3 skamina, 1 king, 7 Lake Trout. Everyone had so much fun that were going to do it next year! It was my birthday, but I picked up the tab! LOL (Loaded in "Why we do it")

You kidding me ? Look at the smile on that young ladies face. It trumps the sun picture.

Looks like a bunch of football players, but what's with ND and the Packers? :D
Great fish and good times.

Well, it's obvious where the boys got their good looks, Gary.

I figured you guys needed some salt in your diet. Here is my 2015. Probably too many but hope you enjoy.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing!!
-
I bet you had some super fish dinners! Wadeing and catching lots of reds and trout, you can't beat that!
-
Burn, great fishing photos.....looks like a riot.
I fished down your way for a for a few days and wade fishing for bull reds on light tackle is as good as it gets. My Texas buddy, who was hosting us, got tagged by a stingray and that gave me serious pause. After seeing that, I never lifted my foot off the bottom and shuffled around for the next few days. Still a fantastic fishing experience.
-
Stingrays are abundant and can pop you pretty good. You did it right with the shuffle. First thing I always tell guys new to wading is to never lift your feet until you get back on the boat. You just kind of glide around like you are skating. Hope he doing well cause those things have some nasty bacteria on those barbs.
