0:37
trucks
0:38
nothing works harder than a ram Castrol
0:41
more than just oil is liquid engineering
0:44
and us real when performance lose
0:47
everything over the years we've
0:52
experienced some legendary efficient
0:53
trips through all parts of Canada flying
0:55
out modes chartered great little
0:57
adventures and remote wilderness lodges
0:59
north of the 49th parallel through all
1:01
this
1:01
there was one gem show walking over love
1:03
and never took advantage of and it's
1:05
only four hours from the major
1:07
metropolis of Toronto I'm talking about
1:09
the legendary French River the upper
1:11
French River and West End of Lake
1:12
Nipissing is quickly growing in
1:14
popularity and for good reason it's
1:16
accessible from a major highways and it
1:18
is virtually untapped wilderness with
1:20
great fishing neither Mike or I
1:22
efficient this section of magnificent so
1:24
we didn't know what to expect to God all
1:26
of our tackles to be prepared for
1:28
anything
1:28
although this area is famous for giant
1:30
musky animals the Canadian library's
1:32
record we were hoping to focus more on
1:34
walleye and mass our plan was simple
1:37
cruise some back bays and look for areas
1:39
where we could find back the best part
1:41
of looking at new water is the
1:43
anticipation of what it might be holding
1:45
Giants Molly's on a point or big green
1:47
buckets in the swamps one thing was for
1:49
sure this place has it all you know
1:53
there's a big one here right now oh yeah
1:55
little bit
1:57

1:57

3:07
beaut
3:08
this thing we was swimming back and
3:10
forth of this tree we moved in we saw
3:13
what looked like an old bed and a small
3:16
fish came up Pete whacked it and then
3:18
this fish came back this which actually
3:20
took left to bed and I had my bait fit
3:23

3:37
to both sorry we'll get them all it
3:41

3:43
was going on up here
3:44
we started banging up both Molly's and
3:45
largest in the same areas casting to the
3:48
shoreline and Reed edges was a
3:49
no-brainer
3:50
I'm gonna make them appear here you
3:52

3:55
tree until he shows up all in this tree
4:02

electronics by scanning the lake we

7:36
be full of untouched largemouth bass Oh

Oh healing for anybody comes through the
7:45

frog bass holy it's amazing that the
8:05
crap that they're in and they could take
