Two out of Three Ain’t Bad


Tom, Justin and Jacob all came.  Tom and Justin had fished with me numerous times in the past, but it was Jacob’s first time fishing the Nipigon system.  Tom had the biggest fish when he came with Justin over the last few years.  They had a tough three days of fishing as they only caught 18 fish over three days.  On this trip Tom got the smallest fish, it was only five pounds.  Jacob managed to get a 25 incher that was over 5.5 lbs and it was the biggest brook trout he had ever caught in his life.  Ironically Justin who had been here multiple times, this being his third trip.  His fish was only 24 inches, but topped out at just over 6 lbs—also the biggest Brook Trout he had ever caught in his life.  They had a tough bite as the Brook Trout has lots to feed on and weren’t biting very good.  But at the end of the day, Justin and Jacob both caught a new personal best Brook Trout which is the goal when you fish the Nipigon system.  It is not about how many you catch, but how big.  These guys were easy to guide, good company, they followed the rules and were pretty mellow.  Hope to see you guys again.  May God bless you.  As the title says, two out of three guys got the biggest Brook Trout of their life.  Two out of three ain’t bad!
