Was out last Saturday fishing with Joe and his dad on a half day trip. Walleye fishing was a little slow but Joe's dad manage to land this 40" pike. Guiding is not just about catching fish, it is hopefully also teaching folks where and how to fish. Joe sent this picture of a 25" walleye he caught a couple days later fishing at a spot I showed him.

Went to Basswood Lake in the BWCA this weekend with Melody and Bentley. It was my 40th consecutive year of fishing on Basswood and where I began guiding 37 years ago. We caught over 100 Bluegills in 2 hours ranging from little ones to 10 inches. We also boated over 50 walleyes and bass with a couple northern pike thrown in.

Fished on Lake Vermilion last week for the Minnesota Opener. It was tough fishing with the cold and wind (40 mph gusts one day), but we managed to catch a few nice walleyes and pike. We also were able to catch enough for a couple fish dinners!
