BCT 13 - French River, ON 2006

Hands down the biggest fish of any BCT. This brute was 54 inches and caught on a white muskie-sized spinner bait. This is truly a trophy muskie. Though we didn't want to harm the fish and weigh it, it was easily over 40 pounds. AJ plains to get a replica mount of this girl one day. She was expertly released to grow old and multiply.

BCT 12 - Lake Webster, IN 2005

Bry got this behemouth w/ a live bluegill almost as quick as he threw it out.



Please practice Catch and Release, as you see Brian doing on the bottom photo!

BCT 11 - Lake Ontario 2004

We caught lots of nice salmon that year, here are a few...





We will let your mind wonder about that bottom picture. No Kevin's were harmed in this picture!

BCT 10 - Wolsey Lodge, ON 2003

This was the very first year on the French River in Ontario. We started to muskie fish here w/ little success. We didn't catch one or even have a follow. I did get this nice Northern when we were trying for muskies. And yelled the now infamous "Get the NET!, get the $%#@! NET!"







The bottom picture shows AJ in the water, great story. Stay tuned...

BCT 9 - Santee Cooper, SC 2002

Bry wins this year hands down. Shown here is his 37 pound Flathead Catfish. They both needed a beer after that fight.







Bry also hooked a "monster" that we all had to take turns in helping him get it in. But thats for another time.

BCT 8 - 2001 Rondeau Bay, ON

I think it was a tie between Bry and Kev. Bry's Northern Pike was bigger, but is was definitely Kevin's year. He caught the most fish hands down. The 2nd Picture shows his lucky lure. More on that later. Let's just say tears were involved.




The 3rd pic shows Kevin trying to pull a hook literally out of AJ's a$$!




The 4th pic shows Brian's nice pike, I believe is was around 13 pounds!

BCT 7 - 2000 Lake Cumberland, KY

I got lucky this year and snagged this 29 pound Striped Bass.

The 2nd pic shows Brian's attitude w/ the so called "guide"...NOT happy.

The 3rd show's Jon w/ another whopper.

The 4th shows in infamous "swimming with the fishes".
Here, Jon and Bry take Bry's catch for one last swim.
Yes, he was on a leash. Then we ate him. Sorry.

BCT 6 - 1999 Big Lake, AZ

Jon gets the prize this year w/ this 5+ pound Rainbow Trout. It's now over his fireplace.



The second picture has AJ gettin' friendly w/ a nice Rainbow.




The third picture is the size of fish Jon usually catches.........not really. USED to catch, he's almost pro now.

BCT's biggest fish by year (work in progress)

BCT 5 - Indian Lake, NY 1998

We will give Jon the credit for the biggest fish this year. We really did try to fish alot, but is was a very tough BCT. You can tell by Jon's face in the top photo that the fish were few and far between, and we were VERY excited to catch anything.

The 2nd photo shows AJ catching a sardine-sized perch. Like I said before, excited to catch ANY fish. He was also hungry from catching no fish, so he decided to eat sushi-style - still squirmin'!

The 3rd photo shows how we kind of gave up. So, we stretched out, relaxed and had a few cold ones.

The 4th, beautiful Indian Lake, NY.

BCT 4

This is when the guys really got serious about fishing. BCT 4 is still one of our favorite trips of all time. We caught a ton of Walleye and had fresh fish and fried potatoes every night.

We came to find out that the island we camped on was heavily infested w/ mice. Which, by the way, we didn't find out until the first night. We had already established camp, so we toughed it out.

We have quite a few good stories from this trip. One of them is posted farther down the blog. More to come for this BCT.

Big Fish this year: Kever and his 8 pound Walleye. (Top Photo) Its on a wall somewhere right, Kev?

BCT 3

We started to fish at this trip. I had grown up fishing, and the rest of the guys were just starting to get the fishing bug.

Big Fish this year: I guess I'll take it, since its the only fish photo we had of for this year. Hey, we didn't those fancy digital thing'es. (I think this was 110 film, ouch)

Jon had to help hold up the tail due to the fishes' huge-ness .

BCT's Big Fish (work in progress)

BCT 2 -1995

We didn't really fish this year, nor did we take many pictures. Kever and AJ were alot younger, AND skinnier back then.

Big Fish - BCT 1

Well, we didn't really fish the first year...we camped. Hence, BCT (Boys CAMPING Trip). The beginning of a great tradition!
