3-Day Father/Son Fishing & Camping

[@lloydkelly8362]

Pops here... thanks so much for all of the really nice comments! I'm so sorry to also hear that many have lost their fathers. I know how fortunate I am to be able to do this with Jon... and especially as he was taking it easy on me! I'm truly so proud of what Jon is doing with this channel and how much effort he pours into making this come to life! And hey, I didn't realize that my tackle box was so vintage either until Jon showed me how he had paired his lures down to about a dozen in a sleek tackle case. I told him that he was being really "e-fish-ent"... Do make a point of getting outdoors and exploring nature with your loved ones! Be well. Pops

[@LostLakes]

Thanks Pops! Yeah you'll notice that your pun didn't make the cut 😆 I know that I have the support of my sisters on this matter.

[@lloydkelly8362]

@@LostLakes I wouldn't be so sure about that Jon!

[@gaborkoczan7579]

Hi its not too long that i started to watch your videos. About 2 months. Since then i seen all of them ,some more than ones. Every time makes me calm ,relaxed and realy happy to have people like you, friends and family around on the same dirt ball that im on. Keep up the great work! It is special for so many of us! I hope one day we will fish on a same lake! Until then lots of love and respect from Hungary!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

You did good 👍🏻

[@davidspoelstra8527]

Great job at being a supportive Dad. So many of us wish we had them. I'm 42 and up for adoption. Just sayin.....

[@jonhamilton5789]

Your Dad's a natural on camera, perhaps he should start his own channel where he tells embarrassing stories about you.

[@geomall]

I agree

[@r3in304]

hahah , 100%

[@kevinharding2099]

You are a lucky man. I never got to have this kind of experience with my father (for many reasons). Don’t take these times for granted.

[@LostLakes]

💚

[@zestynotions]

yep same

[@jimking2299]

What a joy. I happened to be sitting right next to my wonderful son when this video popped up on my You Tube. I kept looking over at him and remembering our decades of trips together. Great, great memories. Thank you so much, John..

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@luluwan5212]

Your Dad is so easy-going, funny, and relaxed on camera; the apple don't fall far from the tree. Great video, great conversation: you can feel the love.

[@LostLakes]

He's a cool cat :) Thanks John!

[@Mayur_]

As someone who lost his father pretty early on in life, I appreciate this so much. This is what life is all about, thanks for sharing precious things like these with the world.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@SpidersHandle]

You are lucky to have a Father who not only loves you but also wants to spend time with you. Alot of us didn't have that.

[@deere3321]

I lost my dad April 30th of this year at the age of 100. Mom passed away 7 years ago so we spent nearly every day together since then This video really hit home with me. Dad was my hero. I laughed a little and cried a little watching it. Thank you so much for this video.

[@LostLakes]

Sorry for your loss Thomas 💚💚

[@lameducksoup3702]

Really admire you dad’s ability to pour a drink… a true skill…

[@charliecommins1692]

Was just commenting to my husband on those heavy handed pours!

[@prospector14]

I've done these trips with my kids over the years. My son now has his own family three provinces away, but my adult daughter still enjoys going with dad. This summer we were up that way, and we ended up on the portage from Hades. When I asked her how it was going, she cheerfully said "Making memories dad". Enjoy the memories Jon and Lloyd.

[@Fiskeflett1]

I had this with my son this summer too:))))) I'm closing on 50 and he 30. Now we are more best buddies, then father/son. Next summer we have planned a pack-raft trip together again. Same place as this summer. hanging out with my son, is my favorite time:)))))) Great video John and your father seems like a really fun guy to hang out with:))))))

[@cmargheimable]

My dad taught me to paddle but sadly never got to see me do it on my own. I think of him every time I take a trip. Cherish these moments!

[@hankremer6606]

Damn it Jonathan! You and your father are classic men. Thank you for sharing him with us again!

[@Itsmaaark1331]

Amazing being able to enjoy time like that with your father. My father is in a different country so I can’t experience that, but I do get to enjoy doing those things with my sons. I enjoy watching all your videos thanks for the time you take to provide them.

[@louisesilverstein2152]

LOVE THIS!!! Your dad is a riot. Good, easy going company. Hi Dad!! We want more videos with you in them!!😎

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yeeeeeah father and son, priceless Jon!! He's a natural on camera! Beauty Walleye!!

[@stephangauthier911]

I've been spiraling in and out of depression for 1.5 years cause of health issues... can't tell you how much your adventures help me stay afloat. Beautiful scenery, beautiful soul, such peace...cheers from Québec.

[@LostLakes]

Hang in there ok... brighter days ahead 💚💚

[@terizumbusch8408]

Absolute joy watching the 2 of you have such a precious time together. You look so much like your dad and you guys seem like you're kind of a lot alike wonderful wonderful to see. God-bless you guys

[@allisonwanderland9917]

You’re so lucky that you get to do this with your dad every year, and document it! You will remember these trips forever. Two beers and a drink, or as I like to call it “tucking myself in”. Cheers! 🍻🍹

[@sistaslab3159]

There's nothing like spending quality time with your father What an awesome video

[@Paddling16]

John. I really enjoyed this. Thank you. I lost my dad about 10 years ago when I was 34. I think of him often and miss him even more. It’s so great that you both make the time for these trips. They are so important to have. Happy to see some fish caught this year. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LostLakes]

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Excellent! Good thing you brought Dad with you in case the bears wanted to fight! Dad will handle it! LOL!! What a cool trip !

@Enterprise Architect: Mark DuBois Ain't that the truth!!

[@jerryenochson4409]

We just watched and enjoyed the latest video with your Dad. My own sons and I have spent BWCA trips together like this along with snowshoeing in winter. Ever since we began doing this around 2002, my older son documented each time with both film and photos and provided chosen background music for it. As time and age comes to pass, I have had to back away from it a little...so enjoy all this that you can. Your own videos are so well done and will be your own legacy. I've recommended these, along with those of Xander and Maxim to others. They are all well anticipated. It's great that we have that same kind of comradery as father and son together and that includes our weekends of moderate drinking in a rec room we created with a Northwoods type decor atmosphere. Thanks for taking us along on your trips.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Life really does not getting better than that John. Casting memories that will forever be forged to last a lifetime!

[@eliwasson3414]

haha loyd is such a dad, just the way he talks is like dad through and through

[@LostLakes]

Hahah so true

[@2007KB]

Nice to see you out with your dad John. He’s very appreciative of your cooking! Seems like a very happy guy. Im glad he broke his curse…thx for sharing

[@briannyland1317]

Been a follower for about 3 years. Just created a channel so I could leave my first comment. I really enjoy your content and appreciate all the artistry and effort put in to each of your videos. Just finished watching the live chat on Canoehound Adventures. It’s easy to see everyone’s authenticity in their individual videos. It’s been a joy to watch your subscriber count climb. I really enjoyed this video with your dad. Also, shout out to Erin!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks for making the effort to chime in Brian :) Really appreciate the kind words!

[@alanjones9534]

I loved to fish with my dad. He passed 10 years ago. It was many great memories! Enjoy your time together!

[@MarceloBustos9]

This video makes me feel very emotional. I lost my dad a year ago, and I really miss him. We went fishing sometimes when I was a teenager, but now that I'm older, I travel to the Parana River 4 or 5 times every year, and I know that he would like to be with us on the boat. Thanks for your videos! Greetings from Argentina.

[@LostLakes]

I can only imagine 😞💚 Precious memories. My mom grew up in Argentina...exciting month down there :)

[@marktaylor8263]

Jon, I envy your time with your dad. Such a great trip, weather and the jinx is gone. I bet that walleye tasted excellent. Love the time lapse of the aurora, clouds kinda of covered them but still beautiful. Jon enjoy every moment with your dad. Memories are all I have. Great job, 👍👍👍

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot Mark, we'll be sure to keep making those precious memories 💚

[@Hockyplyr10]

Your Father is awesome. So down to earth, chill and relax and also loves his chips and beer lol

[@soniadowney7427]

Where were you? The beautiful lights, and your cooking, especially breakfast and burritos. My mouth was watering. My dad and i fished together constantly when i was younger and when my son got older, they went together. Dad died at 69 and my son asked for his vintage tackle box. Son and i have wonderful memories.

[@markasiala6355]

It is awesome to see you and your dad. It is a rare thing to have a dad and a best friend all rolled into one.

[@turkeybird7679]

Enjoy these times with your father. When he's gone, they will never return but will live on in your memory. One thing about a father's advice. You don't really miss it until it's not available, so listen to him. Yes, my Dad is gone. We never had quite the relationship you and your father appear to have. That's ok. I enjoy watching the two of you interact and enjoy nature.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@chesschess100]

My one regret in life is moving two provinces away from my dad and brother. We used to have trips like this every year. Thank you for bringing back some great memories.

[@bluejacket645]

Thank you John for the opportunity to meet your father. The short tour through his tackle box was truly nostalgic. All the old classic lures that my father let me use on our trips to the lakes in Northern Minnesota. What a treasure!

[@kennethsilvestri5874]

A true blessing to share that experience with your dad despite his poor taste in beer. Good eats too! Chips will get you every time.

[@susnorth40]

Dear Jon, you are so lucky to have your Dad to make such great memories. I miss my Dad. My husband and I both agree that your pick of camping spots is stunning. Bravo ❤ tbay

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks for sharing this video Jon. I lost my father a few years ago before I discovered my love of camping. I would have loved to take a trip like this with him. He would have loved watching my videos and commenting on my poor fishing! Thanks.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@lynneramsey3598]

My dad would have LOVED that trip. I miss him. Thanks for the memories .

[@LostLakes]

💚

[@wallyklw5]

Love your dad. Enjoy. Mine's gone. But we got out similar to you two here. Blink, and he's gone. These are irreplaceable memories. Most precious.

[@LostLakes]

You're too right Kevin 💚

[@kernelpaniq]

You have a great Dad that appreciates your skills. You're a lucky man. Great video, thank you.

[@henrymostert2125]

What a great way to finish off the paddling season. The best times I've had have been with my children. There's something special about that

[@edouble1800]

Thank you guys for this! I’ll never have it with my dad but I couldn’t stop smiling and living through you guys. Thanks for sharing such a special memory and here’s to many more. 😊

[@joee1976]

Moments like these 'with love ones' is what life's all about. Cherish every moment. Great video as always Jon

[@KettleCamping]

Can It get any better! Father son canoe trip, walleye, delicious food, Montreal spices, great weather and skies .. and beer and Chips! Just not so sure about that Toronto Maple leafs hoodie 😊( i’m from Montreal) I really enjoyed the video! Thank you ! TC cheers 👍

[@charliecommins1692]

Go Habs Go!

[@lloydkelly8362]

My wife is from Montreal and is a huge Habs fan so I get to see Habs games too... GO LEAFS GO!

[@nicholasmaxheleau9444]

Thank you Jon! I still remember the great times I had fishing with my father, he passed 25 years ago. Epic moments and memories. Congratulations

[@LostLakes]

Precious memories 💚 Thanks a lot Nicholas

[@MrBlahblam]

Ahh man what a gift to have that kind of relationship with your Dad and be able to record the memories.

[@earthangel8730]

Sweet time together. Pops Lloyd is a charming man and the food was 5 🌟 . So glad you both were able to redeem yourselves. 🐟 🎣 🛶 Fish on!

[@mattphillips6578]

Cherish these moments and trips w your Dad. They don’t last forever.

[@adrianlivingstone8520]

My dad, who passed this July, taught me to love sailing, fishing, and hiking the great outdoors, I see the love you have for each other and the joy you each feel for "livin' the dream"! Great vid, thanx for posting!

[@jeffthescifiguy]

On this 2023 Fathers Day I can honestly say this my favorite video which I have watched several times. I love the interactions between John and his father Lloyd and of course Johns photography, music etc. Thanks a bunch!

[@LostLakes]

💚

[@freeradical8440]

Nice to see father and son camping in nature having a beer, doesn't get more Canadian then that! lol!

[@jwpercy]

I loved the father and son fishing redemption episode!!! I hope when my sons get older they still enjoy tripping with Dad. Thanks Jon and Lloyd!

[@kevindavis1281]

You don't need to hear how blessed you are to have your dad around but, I'll say that you are blessed. I hope my kids will do something like this for me when they are older too!

[@LostLakes]

I am :)

[@ianlindsey3616]

Just you and your Dad COOL!!! Great food, great weather, great video. CHEERS!!!😊

[@waltmoore3095]

My father took our family to Ontario in 1962. Many fishing trips over the years, haven't been back for 25 years, but I still have the memories of my father and his love of the North. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffthescifiguy]

Like many others I was 10 years old when my Dad died. My Mom got her brother to take his place but it really wasn't the same. I would really have liked to have had the same kind of relationship and likes as you John and Lloyd have together.

[@DriversofOttawa]

We know there is no portaging when the bag of beer comes out! Enjoy all the time you can with your dad. Mine passed away about 5 years ago at the age of 79 but he is always with me in some way.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@carolguezen5829]

Your Dad's cool! Looks like you guys had an amazing time together. Cherish that time and keep spending the time together.

[@JesseG1985]

Great video, I never had a father present in my life. This video shows me how beautiful it can be to have a bond with a father! Great video!

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@JB-px3zf]

Really enjoyed meeting your Dad and seeing the two of you sharing this special time together. I don't know if Xander is able to make a similar video with his Mom and/or Dad, but please encourage him to do so.

[@corriehendrickson604]

This one hit me in the heart. The last trip I took with my Dad was to the UP to walleye fish. I miss him every day. So happy you have this memory with yours.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚💚

[@jeffreymurphy5313]

Pops, I was impressed when you showed you're tackle box and it had Jitter Bugs in it. Growing up, black Jitter Bugs were my go to bait on the Central Michigan lake I grew up on. You don't see them much anymore but they still work and I use them often. Some people may call them a "vintage" lure but I call them a "classic" . It was good to see a father and son spending quality time together, really enjoyed the show. I was also impressed you were still carrying a Hula Popper, another "classic"!

[@wilderness_explorer_7044]

Another awesome video. Father son trips are precious. Made me smile watching you two and remembering my canoe trips with my Dad. Your Dad is top shelf.

[@paulgeraghty7613]

Hi Jon Greetings from Ireland. Its lovely to see you and your Dad out enjoying the outdoors together. I was blessed to fish with my Dad many times on Lough Corrib in the west of Ireland and enjoy a few pints after great days on the lake. Sadly he passed away this time last year and I cherish those memories even more. I love your videos, the lakes and scenery are stunning. Enjoy every day on the water, its great to be out there. Paul.

[@davidsimon6341]

Looks like a great time, beautiful place. Nice to be able to enjoy time with family. Your dad looks like a great guy to hang out with.

[@robertwhite1810]

I just finished a week of touring around Portugal with my son who's about your age and also a great cook. Can't tell you how wonderful it is to be able to share a great experience with ones son. Thanks for sharing your father son experience...hope you have many many more!

[@IamMuddy]

Wonderful video of father and son. ❤ Thank you for sharing.

[@CurtisMassey]

It's so cool to see you making these great memories with your dad.

[@richardsiegler8456]

Your father reminds me of a man who in the early 1980’s rode his bike from Ontario to New York State to do a story on the New Life Get to Gether…a homesteaders gathering near Rome, N.Y..

[@Barret-paddles]

Another terrific trip and I'd say the apple didn't fall very far from the tree 😉 You make a great team!

[@OksR]

Spending time with your dad is the greatest time. Thanks for sharing video 🙏🏻

[@fortesting5147]

How jealous I am you get to do this with your father. What wouldn't I give to experience this with my old man.. thank you for sharing!

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Nicely done man! Reminds me a bit of tripping with my dad. Father-Son trips are just inherently unique.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks man :) There was a little camp sign on our site and another at the portage and I had a hunch that that was your doing

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

@@LostLakes ha, your hunch would be correct. I've stayed at that exact same site in 2019. The full loop is nice. I've been meaning to get back and do a 1.5 week trip by connecting with the Wanapitei. Spring run tho.

[@johnvrabec9747]

Thank you for sharing your excellent fishing trip with us. We can see the love and comradeship you have for each other. A perfect snapshot of your lives on the water.

[@ScottRauber]

There are no words created to say how awesome this trip is!!

[@mitchsmith3296]

Praise the lord for blessing u all with this time together! I’m happy for you brother. Thanks for sharing the experience with us

[@r3in304]

Jon, wonderful trip as always. Very diferent and it is so nice to see you dad having best days (sure he did,because of you of course) 💛💚❤ Proud of you

[@thelwell256]

So nice to see you and dad enjoying the world together in a peaceful way. I enjoyed this immensely. Thankyou.

[@tomkramer6587]

I will have to live vicariously. I only wish I could enjoy that experience with my father as he is not mobile enough to to do such a trip. John, you are a fortunate man to have such an experience with your father. Thanks for sharing.

[@LostLakes]

💚💚

[@Birdknowsbest]

I wish I had a relationship like this with my dad. All I can hope is to have one with my son. Thanks

[@suezaple4950]

How nice it is that you and your dad could get together again for a fall fishing adventure it will be great memories for the both of you. Your dad is awesome and would be an enjoyable person to spend time with in the backcountry . gorgeous night sky footage so happy to see you both caught some walleye for a successful fishing trip along with having beautiful weather very nice . until the next video be safe stay healthy. Hi Erin.

[@mr.mueller7704]

I loved this video. Chillin with pops eating good, drinking good, into the fish, and good weather! Would love to see more of these.

[@amufdivinsquatch]

One suggestion I would make if you have a way to do so would be to gill the fish you're keeping to eat. They bleed out quickly and it drains most of the blood out of the meat so it's cleaner when you fillet it.

[@MHarenArt]

Fun video! Your Dad is great on camera. No camera shyness there! LOL! Glad you caught some keepers! Stay safe, healthy and warm.

[@dougarrowsmith6088]

Great video. My Pops and I have gone fishing just about every Monday (my day off) during the spring and summer since he retired. We fished all the time when I was young but life kind of got in the way as I got older so to have the opportunity to get back to it is truly a blessing.

[@LostLakes]

That's awesome Doug 💚

[@paddlehooked4687]

Really enjoyed this. Nothing like some father son time doing what you love. Your dad seems like a great guy. Go leafs go!!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks Rob :) Looking forward to ending the devil's streak tonight

[@chuckguth]

Reminded me of two canoe trips with my dad back in the 70s (both in Algonquin Park). On one we had a great shore breakfast of small mouth bass. More recently I try to spend 3-5 days with my son each summer. Great memories.

[@briann2704]

You have no idea how lucky you are. My dad and I just couldn't get there. Cherish it always.

[@canoeman1961]

Wonderful video. My dad's 84, and we modified a 17 foot old Coleman to make a raised seat, so he can be lowered onto it for some fishing. Enjoy the times with your dad, as they inevitably will come to an end. Took a few minutes to figure out where you went 😁. Not too far away is an old circular loop that I did 35 years ago called 4M Circle Route, which I remember was very nice. Don't know if it's still that nice, but we caught lots of fish (put them all back).

[@hudock]

Enjoy the time with your dad. ❤

[@klr6502003]

Great to see a Father/Son trip.......good job!!!

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

What a great father son trip ! I love taking my boys camping and fishing too

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Just like last year, I enjoy seeing you and your Dad camping together! So glad you caught fish this year Jon. 👊
