The Demise of "Walleye Mike"???

No, he's still with us in body, if not in mind. However, he was upstaged big time by wife Sue who picked up this 26 1/2", almost 7 pound walleye late Friday morning. She was guided by "The Old Norwegian" who, by the way, made a great net job as her 4 pound test line broke. Mikey was in the boat, doing what, nobody knows.....
We caught tons of crappies, many small, (the future), but enough nice post spawn fish so we had plenty to send back to the cities.
T'was a good three days....

Father's Day

Recently, I saw a picture. A Marine, in full dress uniform, was handing a folded flag to a young boy. The boy, who was 7 or 8 years old, had a suit and tie on and held out his hands to receive the flag. You could tell he was fighting back tears, but he was trying his best to be a man. I can still see his face..... I know where he was today....
If your father is still alive, I hope you made contact. For some of us, there are only memories....

Fishin' once again.......

Dewey, Alva, Ty and "Twig Man" (Damon) hit the water in search of crappies. After feeding northerns about 20 or so jigs, twisters, spinners and the like, we did find some crappies. They've moved out, however one of my "secret spots" produced a lot of action.
Good fun with good friends.....
In two weeks it's "Walleye Mike". I'm sure the two of us will manage to get into some kind of piscatorial trouble........

Who says granddaughters can't clean fish??

Last year she caught the only walleye during the opener. Now she's cleaning fish. Next year she'll probably be running my boat......
