Oh Jean that is a funny story!
You caught 5 walleye in one day & no longer smoke....I call that a success as well as a fun memory.
Thank to you BIL for his service to this great country & to you for joining us this evening!
That's another fun story, we we fishing at a giant culvert the flowed into the Wisconsin River. Everyone was using minnows so we bought minnows. I murdered mine, I had no clue how to put them on a hook so I impaled them in the head. After an hour of fishing, my reel broke so I got in our Scout, drove into town an bought a new reel.
There were at least 20 people fishing the spot that day and even after my break, I caught 5 of the 9 walleye caught at that spot that day.
Beginner's luck? I don't think so. The pros didn't know that you had to murder the minnows before they can become effective bait. Thanks for listening guys, it's one of those memories that stand out in your life forever and is fun to share. I will thank my brother-in-law for his service on your behalf. He loves this country.
