We came across this interesting link courtesy of North American Fisherman. A group of men from Ohio decided to record their poaching activities and then posted the video to YouTube! They have subsequently been charged with poaching by the Ohio authorities.
Tune in to the Outdoor Journal Radio show this Saturday at 8 am on the FAN590 and join in on the discussion.

Steven Grail of Arnprior, Ontario claims to have caught the world record Smallmouth Bass out of the Madawaska River on July 14. There is some controversy about this catch though... before it could be properly weighed, Mr. Grail filleted the fish!

The Fish’n Canada crew hooked up with team Race Sportz on Saturday July 21 at the Peterborough Speedway for a little fun in the pits and some fast action racing. Dave Connelly of Racesportz gave the invite and we bit… families and all!

“we’re not sure which was more of a highlight, the kids in the pit area or Dave getting knocked out of the 2nd race."

That’s right, at the annual Chouinard Bros. walleye tournament on Sturgeon Lake the gang was on fire! catching more walleye than any year prior.
This event happens every year and the group has a tonne of laughs and some awesome fishing with the help of a group of Pro guides that include, Dan Risorto, Mike Byers, Jim Manakis, Danny Alexopoulis, Myself and the BOSS Lucien Chouinard.

The guy’s have prizes for 1,2,3 and big fish plus they keep their catch for a big old fish fry and to prove to their wives they did actually go fishing. Hat’s off to Lucien for treating his guy’s to a fun time and giving them a much deserved day off... Who knows maybe one day this event might become world class and attract celebrities and pro’s alike in search of the Chouinard Bros Walleye Crown!

See ya next year guys and remember to wear your Coppertone up on those roofs!
