Just got back from Quetico on Tuesday, here are pics of my biggest pike and smallmouth. The pike was 41 inches and the smallmouth was 21 inches. The pike was caught on a Zulu and the smallmouth on a magnum torpedo.
My back held up well, spent a lot of time in a canoe and car seat. I am not 100 percent but I feel a lot better than I did a few weeks ago.

That statement to me sounds like a fishing report. I didn't move it, but I understand why it was. It wasn't related to "SW" reports, or any other Fishing Reports forum except "Out of State".

OK thanks. I have seen a lot of things on the Ohio South West Fishing Reports that are not Ohio South West fishing reports. Just saying......
Beautiful fish Mike! Heading into the BW side using EP 4 on the 11th. Not a lot of big water where I'm going in, but I'll be gunnin for a 35+ Northern. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like it was a fantastic trip, can you give us some trip details? Did you have a guide, where did you stay, boat rentals where did you put in, that sort of thing.
TIA!

I am the guide. I stayed in a tent for 10 days. The only way to get to most of these lakes is to portage. Portage means picking up your backpack and canoe and carrying it across a path full of rocks, roots, ups, downs, streams, puddles, fallen trees, skeeters or any other kind of bug lurking in the woods. No boat rentals, I own my own canoe. It is made out of kevlar and is 18 years old. I put in at Prarie Portage where the ranger station is located, it is in the middle of the wilderness where you cross the border. You pick up and pay for your permits and fishing licenses there. You also need a RABC to cross the border in the middle of the woods. RABC stands for remote area border crossing (permit).
Kawnipi is a beautiful lake. Make sure you fish McKenzie bay for the blue walleyes. There are some saddles between a couple of islands up in there that typically produce. Good luck!
Great pictures Mike - thanks for sharing. I gotta get into some of that action. We just got back from BW (mostly Crooked Lake) and were pretty happy with the fishing although it pales in comparison... Am considering a Quetico trip next year. I know about the permits and licenses. Do I also need a passport? Also - any recommendations for great smallmouth fishing lakes?

No, but the passport can be used when you try to obtain a RABC. You need a remote area border crossing permit. Google RABC and see what all is required. I will help you out the best I can. Plus I used to work for an outfitter up there on the border and have other friends who are outfitters, so between us all we can get you there no problem.
