Love walleye, smallmouth bass and lake trout cheeks, have not tried northern pike yet. Sometimes they are really small and rubberish eating.

This was a really entertaining report. Thank you for sharing it. I am excited to travel with more family and friends as God brings me to that season.

Fantastic Report - Love your writing style in this one.

As always, you have the ability to bring the reader with you.
I can’t believe I saw your baby grow up here. Hopefully all fathers fears are in the distance and unfounded.

Very good report TB. My oldest daughter just turned 50, and oldest granddaughter is 17, the youngest is just a month or so older than Aurora. Watching them take those first steps towards adulthood is priceless . . .
