Are they for real?




Fish don't really get this big in real life do they? Especially if they're from a lake? For the last 3 years Dave has gone to a fishing lodge about 2 hours by plane north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with some of his brothers and friends in May. (Last year they attempted to get there 2 days in a row but couldn't because the weather didn't allow it - too low a ceiling.) That plane you see is on the "runway" so there are strict rules as to when they can and can't land. This year Brian was able to go along and participate in the fun. The fishing is a "catch and release" system - I think that's why the fish grow to be so big. They have a better chance of living in that lake, even with the fisherman there. They do keep some they catch and fry them up right there on the shore of the lake. Dave says there's nothing like a freshly-caught and fried fish. Yummm! It's something he really enjoys and looks forward to. There are no phones or other interruptions - they can just fish, relax, sleep, eat, etc.
