Fell short at the lake trout shootout today! The winner today was a 17 lb 6.2 oz monster. Always a fun day when on the water with friends and family 

This is one from the archives, but this fishing trip changed me forever. A daylight fishing trip to a favorite hot spot. The first 45 minutes of daylight was a bust. With the sun getting warmer and the skies clear the lake trout started aggressively feeding like the flip of a switch! I listened very carefully to everything my stepfather John had for advice. After a couple of hours we had both boated more Touge than I had  caught for fish in 5 years of fishing.  “I WAS HOOKED”  This opened my eyes and gave me a new found love for trolling. There is not a time when the fish are biting good that I don’t think about this day. I find a ton of enjoyment in trying to give my kids similar experiences.

One of the fattest salmon that I had ever seen very well fed on smelts

A great fight in the rain with this tank of a Rainbow

Not getting out on the salt water quite as much as last season, but when we do, we are finding a few

Early morning on swan produced a handful of small lakers

My first deer harvest at 10 years old. Looks very small next to my uncles deer but still a great memory!

This was a great hunt in the snow with my handgun to harvest this hog

This was a unforgettable morning, my first double on a very short trap line on 20 acres

Sometimes we like to switch it up and go find some Brook Trout that live in the lake

One large mouth, one pickerel, one yellow perch, one brown trout, in nine brook trout.
Not a bad rainy day in the boat!

The bass we’re running rather small at Alford lake

This was yet again another wild day on the water where we ended up with a double catch one having to be released because it was 71 inches

This is not a deer that I harvested, but yesterday this world lost a one of a kind guy! My grandfather Leroy Underhill. 
It’s impossible to put in to words what this man meant to his family. He passed on so many traditions and wisdom to help mold some of the very best sportsman I know. He will be missed by so many, but there will not be a hunt for anyone in this family who does not feel him right there with them!  
I know personally and fish or game I harvest in the future I will be thankful for all I was lucky enough to learn from this generous and knowledgeable man.
I will miss you like crazy until we meet again, thank you for helping me find my way to the man I am today. Rest in pease my very best of friends!

A recon trip to Swan Lake chasing holdover salmon
I was lucky enough to find a few fish after the recent years of not being stocked. There are still some active salmon out there.

Spent Father’s Day weekend with family at Mooselook 
What a fishery well over 100 salmon in two days of fishing

Been lucky enough to spend a lot of my summer teaching my youngest how to fish for lake trout
He has boated more than 50 decent lakers this summer
Built him a custom rod holder so he can do it with out dads help

My stepson Parker on his first trip in the woods, we were lucky enough to call 3 mature birds in to range! Was so proud to be part of this with him!

Dug out the fly rod this afternoon and  hit some rainbows on a hand tied crystal white beaded Wooly bugger

That’s a Cockah!   As my dad would say.  :) 

Good time on the water doing what we love to do

I remember this one.  Had the whole family out.  Very nice 

Christopher Taylor 

Just got my deer mount back! Always great work from Josh at Wilderness Creations 
This is by no means a monster but a very special one being the first buck to harvest on my 7 acre piece of land in Lincolnville Center

Nice words Matt.  I am very sorry for your families loss.   From what I have read it seems you were all very lucky to have him in your lives. 

Thank you John! He was definitely a one of a kind and this deer was one of many trophy animals he had under his belt!

I can imaging he had some stories to tell 

Great tribute Matt! I so wish Papa had had a forum like this back in the day! What I would give to be able to sit and read some of his stories!

Terrie I’m so sorry for your families loss. Your point is right on.  I wish my dad had written down his stories.  

Maybe a legacy profile on Gametiks that family could share the memories they have to preserve them from being lost over generations 

Ha ha I figured everyone else is in the woods so I would have the lake to myself

I don’t target bass, But this one I caught while trolling is definitely my PB
8.5 lbs 25.5 inches

Testing

Had to hand line this fish to the boat as it hit while trying to set the downrigger. Check out the video on youtube @polar-star trollers

Good morning of fishing! Video footage in the next couple days on my YouTube page
You can find me at Polar-Star Trollers

Thanks John! I’m still working at figuring out the new cameras 

The first night with the new film gear in the boat was a success. Caught 4 rainbows and a handful of perch. More footage to come soon from the underwater camera

Date night with my wife spent on the water! Just love these evenings 

Awesome morning in the rain 14 salmon boated in 3 hours! Fast and furious 

A firecracker of a day salmon fishing today, a total of 17 in the boat

Isaiah bradeen

Always love a weekend at camp with the family! 

Long pond give up some splake and brookies

Took a friend fishing and got him on the rainbow action 

Catch up with me bud.   You have earned a free Gametiks t-shirt.  I will be at front street pub all day for the mackerel tournament. 

Thanks John! I love my Gametiks window decals in my truck!

A total of seven rainbows in the boat this morning 

A great morning on the water. With some new homemade dodgers and hand ties streamers, boated 1 rainbow, 1 brown, 15 white perch and 1 smallmouth bass

A crappie kind of day, but boated 2 dozen fish

Catching lots of large crappie the last few trips

Corey Ford 

Fishing has been slow the last couple nights with hardware and smelts, tonight I figured out why. Saw a couple green drakes hatch. Had all the gear to switch up to my fly rod with a drake nymph! Best night of fishing I’ve seen all season boating three species of trout amongst other fish! This brown put up one heck of a fight

Thanks John! It fought as hard as any trout I ever had on my line! 

What a great date night fishing with my wife 5 different species of fish and me personal best rainbow! 

Rachael

That's kinda crazy. I know nothing about creating lures. I always figured either they're biting or they're not. It possible to protect your design?

Yes as soon as I am done with testing and making any small modifications I plan on patenting it! 

I want to apologize first for the need to remove the pixels around my fishing lure but it will make sense if you continue to read this story. For the last couple of years in my spare time I have been trying to develop a trolling/casting spoon the met my needs. There have been a lot of failed attempts but not wasted time. Last night just as I sat down to relax for the evening an idea hit me. Off to the shop I went to turn the idea to substance. This mornings forecast was a little to wet for work but perfect for low light trolling. It was the perfect chance to try out my new lure. I started off the morning with my new lure on lead core line and my favorite Db Smelt on the down rigger. For the first hour and a half I was reeling in cold water fish on the led core with not even a strike on multiple setups on the down rigger. I got thinking it might be a great lure or possibly I had found the perfect depth. Going against my better judgement I reeled in lines, and swapped my prototype to the downrigger rod. I chose my 5 favorite lures and began to rotate them on the lead core. For the next 2 hours  my lead core with one lonely strike coming on a brown and silver DB Smelt. Meanwhile on the other side of the boat my prototype was getting hit about every 20 minutes.
This definitely needs more testing in all different conditions but I’m extremely excited to share more as it unfolds  

This morning back to back I caught the smallest and largest yellow perch of my career. The larger one was almost 14” and weighed in at 1lb 13 oz

Took the whole family fishing tonight with live bait! What a blast! 
We only stayed a short while because we ended up running out of bait (mental note made) Love enjoying this sport with the whole family!

This is by far the smallest lake trout I have caught, but it still had enough spunk to snap the down rigger release 

Thanks John! Definitely a hungry little guy!

There is a first time for everything... tonight on the downrigger picked up a smelt trolling a DB smelt. 

A Jo-Mary salmon that needs a few more years to grow

Matt Porter

Fun night on the lake tonight! It’s always fun to pick up a double while fishing alone. Was lucky enough to get both of these beautiful fish in the boat. Sad to report upon cleaning both fish their stomachs were full of soft plastic baits.  Please do your part to safely dispose of such baits, or use alternative baits to help protect our state’s natural resources!

Thanks John! I am going to have this one mounted, something special about the first one out of the food plot on our land

Definitely,  and you should get that smelt mounted too!  haha

Jason Stuart

Saturday morning started off with a shift at Viking Lumber, and home to work on a project. Finished up around 4pm and went to have date night with my wife. She suggested I had a few more minutes and should probably walk to our food plot. (Jokingly and a went out the door she said you may just catch one right in the plot) 
I closed the door and took a short walk, as I rounded the corner low and behold a 10 pointer just on the edge digging in the mock scrape I made. I startled him and across the river he went heading for the swamp. I ran about 30 yards to a clearing where I had better visibility. Just as I got there he came in to view. Put a good shot in to him and he changed directions running across the field dead away from me. Just as I was about to loose sight of him he turned again. He offered me a broadside shot at 200 yards walking. I make a quick decision to move the peep site up on his neck. This one stopped him dead in his tracks!
