[QUOTE="deleted user, post: 94279, member: 1778"] Most memorable for me is on Devils Lake in July the mid-nineties. I was probably only about 10, and my dad and I had been making the hour drive to the lake each weekend as it was just gaining notoriety as a big time fish factory. For a few years before, either he would go with his buddies or sometimes I'd tag along, but we never had much for success, despite reports of easy limits of perch and walleye. On that particular camping trip, we left the dock (back when you had to walk down to the water and could almost cast across Ziebach pass, how old is that?!), and headed out after lunch. I don't know what we suddenly did right, but we couldn't keep up with the action. Eyes of all sizes, bonus jumbo perch, and a 15# plus pike kept us busy until we went through 2 scoops of Ed's bait shop minnows and a cup of leeches. There was still a couple hours until sundown so we switched to plastics and white bass provided the entertainment. It was the first time I ever saw my dad act like a kid and I thought it was great.
