Default Lac st Anne - smoke n mirrors

A little joke, literally Look how cute he is!

Saturday at Lac St Anne, smoky but dead calm, lake was almost a mirror. Alberta Beach launch still deep enough for my little 14' tub...

Got a some quality hours in, about 3 to 7pm. Found a shelf from 10' to 20' about halfway up the west end, and started getting lucky. Had 2 northern pike, about 4 of these little baby Walleye, then a barely-class-B 17" walleye! But I got clumsy, and he jumped outta my hands...partner was halfway through getting the phone out for the pic. Had a good laugh - all catch n release... wish I'd gripped on better to that 17"!

Cheap boat, cheap rods, cheap bait, but quality times. Can't wait to go again soon!

p.s. quick q for y'all - how do you manage your fish-handling, once they're aboard in the net? I can barely get a grip even w those gloves. I see guys holding the gills etc... aren't they sharp? some fins are sharp for sure...
