Bass Fever
Caught these boys at the English Coulee Diversions.
Bass
Just got back from the taxidermist. This is the one I caught out of McVille Dam last spring. It looks way smaller than it did when I caught it.
First Sturgeon
Was hoping it was a big walleye or sauger. Oh well, still cool to look at.
Ling on the Missouri
Smallest ling I've ever caught. Of course, it swallowed the hook.
Tailrace Ling
I hate it when you think you have a nice walleye on....then this thing comes out of the water. And, of course swallows my hook.
Tailrace Sauger & Walleye
No anchor, no problem. Caught these two guys drifting with rigs and jigs. Missed a few more.
Yours or Mine?
So, if a guy catches a fish on your rod, with your line, your hook, and your bait, isn't it technically YOUR fish? Whatever, nice fish.
Wingwalls
Saw some people doing pretty good from shore too. I like the nets they use...a milk crate lowered down with a rope!
15 lb Cat
Here's another photo. Better recognize!
First Cat of 2006
Caught this guy at about 8:00 4/25/06. First cat of the 06 season.
16 Pound Cat
This one put up more of a fight than the 19 pounder I caught.
19 pound 8 oz. Cat
Just getting over strepthroat, Esoxpirate, Richthorpe, and I decided to brave the rain/wind and get some river action. This one was almost 20 pounds.
Another Look
...of the fourteen pounder.
14 Pound Pike
Gotta love ice fishing!
English Coulee Diversion
Pike was 14 pounds and perch are all around 11 - 12 inches. Powerade bottle to show size.
McVille Dam Pike
Guessing it was around eight pounds.
Big Ole Cat
Esoxpirate's 23 pounder he caught while fishing with me one day. The Wednesday Night Cat League got cancelled that night, otherwise we would have won like 50 bucks.
Not a Bad Kitty
Kit Kat weighed 19 lbs.
Mini FBO Gathering Photo Two
Ramp was too muddy to use...so you gotta do what you gotta do!
Mini FBO Gathering
My buddy Jake, with his 15 incher while tossing a #5 Firetiger Rap. This was the unofficial Mini FBO Gathering on Fordville Dam.
Cruisin to Channel A
I had some photos I've been meaning to get on the site and I finally got around to it. Sorry some are out of season but maybe they'll bring back good memories! This photo shows us headin to Channel
Joel's Biggest Cat
Joel landed this pig South of Oslo, MN a few miles. We caught many that were just a couple pounds less than this one that day.
Joel's Piggy
Another look at Joel's catfish caught on a Gamagatsu Octopus circle hook, and a very large piece of goldeye. And an awesome netjob by Jig-em-up-Josh I might add.
Euro Mount
A friend shot this a few days ago in 2F1. I'll post a pic when I'm finished.

The Good Ole Days Take 7

The Good Ole Days Take 5
Big bucket and nice walleye.
The Good Ole Days Take 4
Nice kitty.
The Good Ole Days Take 3
Yes, there's a fish hiding behind all the Red River mud. Not a bad one either.

The Anticipation Is Driving Me Nuts
Two pieces of paper = .20 cents....
One paperclip =.02 cents...
Ice fishing at work = PRICELESS!
Cat'n
Fishing the Red near my house, this spring. I was still "boating it" at this point, I think. This was one of many 18 pounders. I couldn't break 18 pounds for some reason.

And'ys PB Channel Cat. This was was around 18 lbs.
Vacationing,...........at my house........
I know everybody is sick of the word Flood, but I've been wanting to get these pictures on the site for awhile, just haven't got around to it. This picture was taken the morning the "poop hit
7 Day Vacation, and nothing to do except stare at each other.
The sign on the right in this picture was where we tied the boat to. The big tree on the left is where we got on the river to go north, a few miles, to where our loaner truck was parked. The road
Our driveway
This one shows the river not quite at the highest it got, fast forward a few days and it was right on the side of the road.
Last day.
Heading for work on the last day we could drive the pickup! Those headlights you see are where the pickups are parked in the previous picture, where the water was really coming over the road.
Cat
Here's a picture of a cat I caught a while back, with unusual yellow coloring. This one was roughly 16 lbs.
Nice cat
Just a normal average sized fish caught about a mile north of my house.
#2
Same fish.
#3
Same fish.
Damon's first Cat over 18 pounds.
This is another picture I've wanted to get on here for a while, this fish looked sunburnt, and was the only fish I've caught all year out of the dozens and dozens that looked like this.
Damon's Cat
Another view.
Poor Kitty
unusual coloration.
Poor Kitty
Take a blow torch to an 18 pound catfish and I'm guessing it would look exactly like this. Not 100% sure what it's from.

Pretty picture my wife took on our mini-honeymoon.
Buddies
My GSP and cougar "turbo", she is one helluva mouser! This is what they do all day.
I hate my mother-in-law's bird
Seriously, this thing is so annoying, and every time she comes to stay at our place, she brings this bird. I let the cats out of the entry-way while the girls were out shopping because the thing would
I LOVE THE RED RIVER
I'll have a story for this fish I caught last night in an hour or so, it'll take awhile to write it! This gal was just a few ounces away from 13 pounds, it was like 12 lbs 10 oz.
Nice Walleye
32 inches.
Nice Walleye
32 inches.
Sauger/Walleye
The eaters are biting fast and, well not quite furious, but if you have a stinger hook and some fatheads/suckers you'll do just fine. These were what we were keeping, we caught many many more just
Stinger hook
Somebody PM'ed my asking what a stinger looks like, this is ONE example. On the northland fireball jig, which is comparable to these jigs, that's where the "store bought" or home made stinger
Red River Fish
My hands are still cold, actually they feel hot, and the guides on my rod are still frozen. Tomorrow morning I'm not going out as early! I'm glad I'm able to clean fish at work!
Lunch Break Saugeye
Caught this little 14 inch saugeye by the North Ramp in GF today at 12:00! Only bite I had, and I lost my jig to some rocks shortly after that. I took the wife's car to work today and didn't bring
Lunch Break Saugeye
14 inch saugeye.
Last Night
I fished last night from 2-5pm, this one was the biggest, 21 inches. Nice FAT fish. A couple other yahoo's fished next to me, they did alright.
Wierd dog paw growth
I just took this picture. From last night when I cut off the "toe-nail" part, it has already started to grow back. Bad picture, I know, but I'm no hunttomuch!
Eagle Food
Part of a deer, rabbit, something, I dont know. On my way back to work after taking the picture of my dog's paw I saw an eagle sitting in the coulee snacking on something. He didn't like me being

I see, on average, about a dozen eagles a day on my way to work. I accidently interrupted this guy's dinner.

Hahahaha! She'll be so mad at me for putting this on here. Sara with a nice cat, taken while she was 2-3 months pregnant.
My little girl
Man, word's just can't describe it. It's so awesome. Nola Catherine Burgett. 7 lbs 4 oz. 20.5 inches. She's not a whopper but definetly a keeper.
Max Fights

Getting ready.
Max Fights
Yes ref,.....my nut cup is in........I can't say that my nuts are in, but I have a huge plastic shell overtop of them, doesn't feel good,......not gonna lie.

I HATE going into the cage first. Patiently waiting. This guy took his sweet a$$ time for his entrance too.

I think this might have been where I messed my knee up. At this point, the gullotine was gone and he was trying to go to half guard if I remember correctly. When I locked my feet/ankles and bridged
Max Fights
Couldn't stand on it,......hurt so bad. I've never had a knee problem in 1,000 football games, basketball, track, etc,.......it sucks though.
Waiting.......
We got into our room at 7am,......didn't deliver till 7:44pm.........I had lots of ice fishing magazines to pass the time.
Scrubbed Out
I think I might go as a Dr for Halloween next year..........
Nola getting cleaned up
I just wanted to pick her up and take her home right there. I fed her a whole bottle of formula like 5 minutes after she was born, she downed the whole 2 ounce bottle.
Bringing her to mommy
Just holding her is the best feeling in the world. I would/will take that over a 16 pound Red River walleye any day of the year.
Proud Papa
She's got me wrapped around her little finger already.
Auntie
My youngest sister didn't want to hold her because she was scared/nervous about dropping her but I insisted.
Godmother
My older sister aka "head babysitter".
Just a wittwle guy
The only thing good about being in Fargo for Christmas was being able to go out Christmas Eve for a couple hours and catch a couple dozen of these guys at Casselton Reservoir. I caught a couple that

My "manland"
It isn't much, but it's a start. Should look better once I get my walleye mount done. My goal is to make it look similar to the picture in Captain Ahab's photo gallery.
One of my bigger bucks
It's not a pig by any means but it was a very memorable hunt. I did the mount myself.
Num Num Num
If I didn't get lost trying to find my super secret fishing spot close to my house, I wouldn've had more, and bigger fish. 15 FOW. Caught a few pike also. Saw a couple walleyes on the camera, maybe

Me and the Goonies
My dad and our good family friend "uncle Kenny".
Popping a couple holes
Wife took a candid pic of me drilling a hole, I thought it was pretty cool. I never knew I looked like such a tool. I guess now I know.
Bait Station
This is one of my bait tanks. I'm pretty excited to use it, not gonna lie. A friend of mine picked it up for me at a pet store for $20.00 Should be able to hold a few dozen 1 pound sucker minnows
Bang Bang Bang the Drum
Sheephead, Drum, whatever. I call them Drum and they are FUN to catch.
20 Pounds or Bust
I'm honestly, sincerely, thinking of giving up on goldeye right now, at least till the water goes down a tad bit more. Here's a 20 pound cat, first one of the year, caught on a small jig/crawler &
Rainy Day
Went fishing with Dakota Storm Waterfowlers today with limited success. Caught a couple small cats, he ended up losing a pretty nice fish, over 18 lbs anyway. Got some bonus baitfish and a few drum.

Greenie
Green Machine.
The Bullheadmaster pose
Average size.
Spinnerbait Central
Another decent fish.
Big fish of the day
5 pounds. This fish was so pretty, just amazing. The only thing was, she wasn't very thick, kindof skinny. She still almost pulled the rod out of my hand. It hit after 2 or 3 reel cranks.
Big girl
Another view.
Monster Mouth
Her mouth was pretty big, probably could've fit a 32 ounce Powerade bottle in it.
Big fish of the day
Just gorgeous. Gave a GREAT fight. Happy Memorial Day.........................
froze my bass off
Seriously, we pick the worst days to go fishing. Rainy, windy, cold. But we managed to get around 25 fish between the 2 of us.
Double Prop Pearson
Damon Pearson with a nice topwater bass.
Big Girl
This fish was 36 inches, 24 pounds right on the nose. Pic is kindof poor quality, this fish was beautiful.
Big Girl 2
Same fish, different view.
Mr. Aids
I called this fish Mr. Aids because 1.) it was a male, and 2.) it was GROSSLY skinny. Also I should note, out of all the catfish I've caught in my life, this had the biggest head. Just immense. I
Mr. Aids AKA Flathead/Channel hybrid
All I can say is........wow..........
Biggest Male I've caught
I wish I would've got a picture of him laying on his stomach from the top, to show how it just tapered off after his pectoral fins, his tail was pretty sick, just skinny.
Old School Catt'n
This is Mike. Mike is 6'6" and this picture does not do the fish justice. 27 pounds, 36.5 inches. Guided by Jig-em-up-Josh in 2008. Mike just emailed me the picture basically saying that he would

Last minute addition
I was only able to find smaller frogs for Sunday Funday, so Saturday evening I decided to go for a stroll around the house with the dog, and we found this one. It's usually the average size for around
Average Size Fish
They wouldn't leave us alone this weekend.
Damon Pearson's Cat
Nice Fish.
Damon with another nice cat
Damon caught a total of over 70lbs yesterday.
Before work, pre-fishing!

Whopper Channel Cat
Colby from Kansas with a dang nice cat. Caught on a frog.
Battle!
Dustin and Colby came to catch some Red River Channels, and said that out of their 2 trips of fishing, one in MN for bass/walleye, and the other with me, that they had the most fun on the Red. Thanks
Dock Knockin Bass
Big MN Largemouth Bass. I caught dozens that were a little smaller than this one. Book your trip now! Nothing better than when a pig bass slams your lure under a dock with only 2 feet of line out.
New pup
Sara's new puppy. Suzy Q.
Michael Vick's House?
They play well together, a little too well. Suzy likes to nip Butter's legs, and they also play tug of war.

El Cooter
Cooter with a nice eater cat.
Cooter's Kitty

Jig-em-up Guide Service
This was supposed to be a scouting trip for a client that's chomping at the bit to get on some big walleye. I thought maybe this one was going to be a "greenback" (the cats are kind
Slough Hopping
I got an hour off yesterday to do some puddle jumping. 3 drake mallards and a gadwall. Within minutes from my house.
Butters and a couple roosters
This was the 2nd walk of the day. It was a great weekend, the dog did so well, I was very proud. He did get many battle scars though, and will be out of commission for a good week. We put on about
Use at your own risk
I'm glad I'm getting a plow for the pickup this year. Pretty tough to do this on your own unless you fish alone more than most guys.
First fish of the day, Jig-em-up Guide Service
Needless to say it got my hopes up. Approaching 18 lbs.
Nice Sauger
I have about 10 remaining days left but the action is going to be the best within the next 2 weeks. If your biggest walleye is under 5 pounds, I can help you exceed that, and learn how to fish for

Sauger Wart
This was another gorgeous Sauger, she had a wart on the cheek.
Red River Ling
Dakota Storm Waterfowlers joined me. This is another "false alarm" fish as I like to call it.
Supper
Heading back to the boat ramp with supper for the Mrs and I. A nice limit of Walleye. Right now, the action is fast & furious, and if you're patient, all you have to do is week through a few sauger
Red River Walleye with Jig-em-up Guide Service
Here's a great looking fish caught by Josh.
Nice Pike on the Red River
Josh with an 8 pound Northern Pike. If you book a trip with me, you might "have to" weed through a few Northerns, drum, and smaller fish before you connect with the biggest walleye of your
Drum
These things put up a GREAT fight.
Jig-em-up Guide Service 27 incher
A nice, fat, 27 inch Walleye from the Red River. I still have quite a few slots open if anybody wants to learn the tricks to catching fish like these on the Red River.

Thanks to Double Barrel Saloon for keeping my beer at perfect temperature while "ice fishing" yesterday. It was more like "blizzard fishing".
Tim's First Ice Fishing Trip
Here's a couple pike Tim got yesterday. It was his first time on the ice. He learned how to fight the fish after his first one, I didn't even have to coach him after that, it was "oh,.....there's

This one was 18 pounds. Sorry about the picture quality.
MN Bass Opener
How did everybody do? We did alright, it was chilly, rainy, and the water temp was only 58 to 60.
Cat Food
Right now sucker is the ticket. Although goldeye could be on the menu very soon. I'm sure a person could get some fish on them right now but I'm sticking to suckers.
Triple!
Preston and Darrel's triple. 15, 15, and 20.9, respectively. Thanks for choosing me as your guide guys, hope you learned a lot!

Damon's nice walleye
I took a good friend out fishing yesterday. Great weather, good action, and it was nice to get out on a lake again.
Pike
Show me your teeth! (the song from Shark Week)
Trolling Husky Jerks for Pike
It's unreal how many pike you can catch trolling big Husky Jerks. Takes maybe 3 or 4 minutes to get a fish.
Got my Walleye back!
I'm pretty happy with the results. Great coloring, just like I remember it!
Sara's first bow!
For her FIRST time ever, shooting a bow, Sara did very well and caught on extremely fast. I told her practice makes perfect and maybe next year she'll want to get her Hunter's Safety.
Shoot! Shoot!
This is a "rod holder shaker".

Celebrity Swan
This Swan is going to be on Jason Mitchell Outdoors this Winter some time. I've seen him every time I've been on the river since July. Pretty sure he's lost!
Poor picture quality I know, but he
Big, big catfish!
Sara wanted me to upload pictures of her 37 in Red River Beast she caught last evening. Only a couple pictures turned out, and none of them do the fish justice.
Kyle's Big Catfish
36 inches, 21 pounds. Way to go on your personal best buddy!
Tyler's beautiful Red River Walleye
I was going to wait for him to post one of his pictures but I thought I'd take care of it for him. I'm embarrassed that I didn't get a length on it, but out of respect for the fish, we put her in
Tyler's Walleye
No camera trickery needed.
Terry's Trophy Walleye
Here's Terry with his 10 pound 28.5 inch Walleye. Needless to say, he's coming back in the next 2 weeks

Rick & Daves eaters
Thrown back a few Sauger that were bigger than the one pictured, but a nice limit anyways.
Nola's First Fish
I always pictured what it would be like when she caught her first fish and how important it would be, but I never thought it would hit me like a freight train. She did it all by herself and the enthusiasm
Nola's Sauger&Goldeye
She's getting better at reeling in fish by herself. First fish of the day yesterday was a nice Sauger, she was a happy little camper. After that she caught another Goldeye and lost 3 or 4, then it
Mike's Big Cat
From Sunday. Caught in the first minute of the first spot. I think we had over 100 pounds boated in less than an hour. Pretty good average size.

KDM met me early Thursday morning for coffee, and we decided to get sun burnt & catch fish. T'was a good time indeed.
