In June of 2014, I took a trip to the lakes region in Maine with my roommate Sully. His family has a camp on Keoka Lake. We fished Bear Lake and a few other nearby waters. Usually a fishing trip with Sully comes with historic bad luck, (capsized canoes, boats springing leaks, and scratched trucks.) Although I did fall into the water on one occasion while on this trip... I was testing my new kayak, the Nucanoe. I was standing on the kayak and while casting I stepped backwards, losing my balance and the rest is history, adding to Sully's entertainment. However this trip actually turned into a successful venture, landing several bass and a topping it off with a nice pickerel on the last day.
