Trophy Walleye on Red Lake

Thanks Mike for sharing your photo of the 32 in. walleye that you caught on you July trip to Sunset Lodge. Based on the length weight chart from the local Ministry of Natural Resources this baby would weigh in at over 12 lb. Nice catch and release!

Biting off more than you can chew!

Talk about your northern followup.......Dan was enjoying a day of fishing Red Lake and busy reeling in this nice 22 in walleye. Now everyone has had a follow up but this was more of a lunge and swallow - couldn't get that northern to release and for a 26 in northern to take on a 22 in walleye that is biting off more than he can chew. Great photo of his '09 trip to Sunset. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Been a little wet in Red Lake

Many of you know that Red Lake has been a little wet this year so I thought you may enjoy the following:

A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven.

Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning fire. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile.

After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the best of him. So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing. Excuse me, Prince of Darkness,' he said. 'I'm waiting in line for Judgment, but I couldn't help wondering. Why are you tossing those people aside instead of flinging them into the Fires of Hell with the others?'

'Oh those . .' Satan groaned. 'They're all from Ontario. They're still too cold and wet to burn.'

Great Big Northern

"Just a quick line to say thanks for another great week of fishing and Sunset Lodge hospitality.

I'm attaching a photo of Mike K. with his 45 1/2" northern caught on a leech harness, .....( Mike also brought in two 39" pike).

Thanks again for a great time and our countdown for next year has already begun.

Lake Trout on Red Lake

Wayne is all smiles with his catch of the day and couldn't wait to share his photo when he returned to Sunset Lodge in the evening. When this laker hit he knew it was no walleye.... Trolling in 20 ft of water and with 8 lb test and a "little walleye minnow" he was really pleased to land this 28.5" Lake Trout down in the west end of Red Lake. For the rest of the day he was catching walleye too big to keep with his wife Angie landing the biggest of the day at 26". All in all a good day on Red Lake.
