Following the trip, Borger posted a 40-minute video of the outing </span><span style="color: #000000">to You Tube</span><span style="color: #000000">, showing off some of the monster trout the pair caught. But Borger purposefully withheld the specific location of the spot.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="color: #000000">According to </span><span style="color: #000000">Newser</span><span style="color: #000000">, Algonquin Park boasts more than 2,400 lakes, so Borger had good reason to think that his secret spot was safe. In late July, however, he received a five-page notice from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry after an unknown person filed a Freedom of Information claim requesting a record of Borger’s camping permit.</span></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">“I’m going to give him credit because it was an incredibly smart, underhanded, and a little bit devious,” Borger told reporters. “If somebody has a copy of my interior camping permit, which shows which lakes I camped on each night, they can clearly and easily figure out which lake I caught these trophy fish in.”</span></span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="color: #000000">Borger was no doubt upset, telling the </span><span style="color: #000000">CBC</span><span style="color: #000000"> that he feels “violated, angry, [and] stunned.”</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">For now, however, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry hasn’t released Borger’s camping permit, so the jealous angler will have to keep casting blind.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
