That first picture is awesome!  How many cages are in that boat?  Do you have any room left to sit?  :)
Nice catch!

What a great day god made today! Mile hike in to the lake in and out with 2 inches of ice not enough to walk on but to thick for the boat but the trap check was worth it! Had three beaver traps sprung and two were empty the third held this beast! 53lbs! I couldnt believe it just blew me away! Destroyed the trigger in my 12x12 trap but so worth it! Also picked up three more rats!
