Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

I am sure glad that there are so many opportunities here in the good ole USA to fish for a myriad of species. I am not one of those upper crusters that can afford to travel to exotic places to risk life and limb to hook up with a finned creature. Multi-millionaire pro athletes and fishing site promoters, who can afford such adventures put themselves at risk of being considered lunch by one of the Amazon's most feared predators.

Long way to go just to get bit in the butt by a giant snake. Lol

Nah I'll pass on that place I really don't mind fishing in and around Michigan ;D

Well lets pray for Dan's safety as he will be traveling that way next week.

I actually looked for anacondas. They apparently aren't everywhere because I never saw a single one. Not even a baby. I will look again in about a week. Maybe I'll find one this time?!?

Save your money because this trip should be on everyone's bucket list or just plain 'I've got to do this at least once' list!

Big Black Caiman now... that is a totally different story! They were all over the place and they are supposed to be somewhat rare?!? Apparently these big boys don't KNOW that! I think I was most worried about stepping on a stingray but they just told us to drag our feet in the sand rather than take big steps and we mostly only did this in real shallow water where you could still see bottom well.

I was kind of bummed I never saw any stingray either though some of the anglers came across schools of them. Everything down there has sharp teeth! You should hear the piranha when they are chomping on your jerkbait!! CLACK CLACK CLACK!!

Good Luck Dan!  Be safe and have fun!  Can't wait to see the pictures when you get back.

More video this time! Though it is very hard to put down a fishing rod and pick up a video camera when these monsters are smashing the topwaters!
