Trip of a life time

Mike Orgas 3/12/2012 - YouTube

I just got back from what I'd consider the crappie trip of a life time. Long drive from Omaha, but I caught 4 fish on the trip that were over 15 inches. One of which was 16 inches. The guy I fished with was Woody Wood's Guide Service out of Ranier, Minnesota

The lake we fished was Rainy Lake. I grew up fishing Minnesota and Ontario. Rainy straddles the canadian border so it's the best of both worlds. I found Rainy a few years ago walleye fishing. Not just big numbers, but HUGE walleyes. You can catch 30" fish there on a regular basis. The gift from the fishing gods is the crappie fishing. It's short of fantastic. BIG crappies. Lots of fun catching them.

I'm the guy in the video catching the fish.

Check out his web site if you have time. Pretty amazing fishing.

Looks like you was having a time of your life.Thumbs Up Congrats on those hugh fish!:)

Thanks. Was a great time. If you like crappie fishing it's a great place. You never know what's going to come out of the hole too. Northerns, walleyes, white fish, perch...... the lake is pretty cool.

Nice video, looks like a lot of fun. It’s good to see someone is still ice fishing and catching fish for that matter.
Enjoyed the report.

:welcomeFirst welcome to CDC from Ne. I am just South of you in Papillion. Have you tried the Spring time fishing up there. Rent a house boat and fish the spawn on Rainy. That is what they are known for. Great video and glad to have you onboard. I can't Ice Fish anymore but I loved to see those big ole Crappie coming thru the hole. EB

Just watched the video, good job!!! I can't wait to ice some slabs this Winter!!!:biggrin
