My 2 most favorite fishing trips were both for walleyes.

The first trip was a trip arranged by my buddy who is also my tourney partner for me and my wifes anniversary. He towed his boat out to Newel and we towed the trailer. We stayed only for 2 or 3 days but we hammered so many big eyes that on the 3rd day we were all so sore in the arms that we decided to cut the trip a day short. I don't think I will ever see another walleye day like that. I hope I do but it was pretty much a trip that dreams are made of.

The second trip was last august long. My company decided to head to gull lake for the long weekend for a company camp out. So I decided to just camp it out under my topper with the wife for the weekend up there and tow the boat for some fishing. I knew there were some eyes in the lake so I printed off a few maps and checked things out and came up with a plan. After 5 solid hours of fishing with not even a bite I was getting a little worried and the wife was getting pretty bored. I decided to try one last spot on our way back in and sure enough we trolled some worm harnesses over the spot I picked out on the map and were hammered on the one rod. My wife battled that one while I tried to keep us on track and keep us over the fish. Sure enough we net her fish and I am taking the hook out and the other rod goes off. This went on like this for 3-4 hours and we decided to head in and have some supper. I then took a coworker out with me after eating and it was the same thing until dark and we decided to head in. He was bragging it up back at camp and everyone thought we were lying until we busted out all the pictures. The next morning I wanted to get out early and check the spot out again. Everyone was interested in going the night before but no one wanted to be up at first light so I headed out alone. After about 6 hours of solid eye action with people cutting me off and trying to follow me after seeing me hauling in the fish I decided to head in and see if anyone wanted to join me. My buddy from the night before jumped all over the offer and we headed back out. The bite turned out to be amazing the whole weekend and we measured every eye that was landed. There wasn't a single fish under 20" and our biggest was pushing 30". Needless to say I will be heading back up there sometime this fall to see if the action is anywhere near what it was then.

A who, what, when, where, and why on your best destination fishing trip ever.  Somewhere that you really wanted to go, and finally had the chance to make a reality.  Why was this trip something that everyone needs to put on their bucket list?

I have been lucky enough to experience a few.  I chased Chinooks on the north end of the Queen Charlotte Islands, Halibut off Vancouver Island, Marlin and Tuna off the south coast of the Baja Peninsula, Grouper in Florida and walleye on the Mackenzie River in the NWT (HAve a Florida Tarpon trip planned for October this year as well).  My favourite is actually running the baits for new fisherman when chasing Coho's and Chinooks off the west coast of Vancouver Island.  Its a blast to help someone land their first salmon and have that first great experience.  On my deep sea fishing trips, I have been lucky enough to experience a gray whale at 10 feet, a sea lion stealing my salmon from the net, orcas chasing salmon under the boat as well as the numerous seals, crabs, prawns and plethora of fauna not usually encountered here on the prairies.  I make a couple trips a year to the coast and recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I don't really have one place in paticular but i have been fortunate enough to be on several fly-in trips both Northern Alberta & Saskatchewan. If you haven't fished a remote lake in the Canadian Shield then you shouldn't be allowed to die. I have been deep sea fishing but have yet to experience West Coast, that is a trip i would like to do in the not so distant future.
