| If you had just one week, and could only get a guide for one day, and you just wanted to catch that ONE fish of a lifetime, where would you go? |
|

|
Location: Des Moines IA | I'm definately biased, but I'd go to Andy Myers Lodge on Eagle Lake in Ontario. No question. |

|
Location: SE Wisconsin | If I told ya, I'd have to kill ya..  I'd go hunting right in my backyard here in Lake Country. I'd be my own guide for the week.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | Though I would like to fish with several people, my first choice boils down to a decision with three people.
Capt. Larry Jones
Tom Gelb Where ever they would want to go ( I would even row Tom's boat )
Or a friend of mine, Mike Dalakas, up at Georgian Bay |

| I don't know that I'd consider any fish under 60" the fish of a lifetime. (Although I'll never see a 60.) And if it's a fish less than that, then one wouldn't be enough for an entire week's fishing--no matter who the guide was. There's just too many places to fish where you can catch several nice fish over a week's time---including a few over 50.
That said, if I was hoping to include a very nice fish amoug the week's catch, and had my choice of a free guide for a dey---well, probably Spence Petros up on LOTW. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Interesting responses. I'd go with fishing with Herbie on my first day out of AML, then have the rest of the week to stomp on the spots he showed me.
But for those of you who said the Larry or Ottawa or Georgian Bay, but have never been to these ginormous bodies of water: you would say you'd take that one day with a guide, then hit it by yourself the rest of the week? |

Why is it only the GUESTS on this forum know all the good spots, and not the guides and fisherman that are regular posters? Several nice fish over a week's time---including a FEW over 50?? Yeah, there's just too many places like that...

Location: Contrarian Island | sure hard to beat MN with the size fish that are coming out of there...I'd skip the guide fee and fish with a couple friends like BWaldera, KFed, and Scottie T and probably hit Mille Lacs in search of a true 45+ lber...

Well, probably none in Kentucky, of course...but several up here. |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | I'd fish right in my own backyard on lake Minnetonka. That is where I caught the one by my login and have had much larger fish on. And I'd skip the guide altogether because I don't want to show them my spots and am not interested in theirs.
That is just what I would do.
