Not at all suprised that the Bearcat and the owner/operater in question you were on the water with was’nt offering photo opps any more than the wolves in question! Ryan definetly knows more than he’d let most onto with ol’ Rainy! What many don’t realize is that even though Rainy is’nt hyped up quite like Red or LOTW’s for an ice fishing destination because the fish don’t come “easy” in random locals such as there!
You show me a guy that has a “in the blood kinda passion” to be on the water, any water, and even more so throughout all four seasons, and I’ll show you a hardcore with an in the know knowledge that any outsider’s single time on the water simply can’t match up against!
Rainy Lake, during winter at least,for some reason somehow easily seperates greenhorns from those in the know like any other water body I’ve ever known…………period!
Between yourself Chris, and Ryan, I’m certain you two could humbly, single handedly sell a lot of lake maps and mouthpiece transition/seasonal localities on maps that would put anglers catching fish for years and years;before the “honeyholes” eventually dried up or withered of their overall quality; that being 40 inch class pike, 26 plus inch walleye, a few jumbo perch, slabasourus crappie, pout and whitefish and world class smallies)………….and yet given any one season, fish move so as one spot is’nt always red hot; but given the knowledge of the entire season year in and out like the Alpha wolf…….when, where and why to capitalize on the prey…………..it’d be priceless info to the public!
Rainy is special for many reasons I suppose, cetainly her reluctance to give up easy meals to just anyone, anytime is also a blessing!
I would have loved to see that
