Jerry’s nice smallmouth, size TBD. He needs to familiarize himself with a fishing “De-liar.” His boat is not so equipped
Rick Zieman demonstrating the size of his walleye. Twenty two inches, measured. Their boat is fully equipped.
That nasty trolling motor glommed onto Jerry’s line. It took disassembly of the motor to get the line off.

See what I mean? You have to give Jerry a break though. The wind was blowing, the boat was wallowing in all kinds of directions, and wrapping the line in the motor happens easily under those circumstances.

An “into the sun” shot of Rick and Pat in Pat’s boat. Note the silvery water – it makes for pretty pictures.

Jerry observing his buddies’ boat earlier in the day. No, they didn’t catch that log, it was just drifting around on the lake.

Bruce Boettcher with the only walleye caught by our boat today, a 14-incher. Over the years, our average fish is 14-1/2 inches.

A fishing “double.” Juris with a 22-inch Northern and Bruce with a modest size perch.

Jerry’s 30-inch Northern Pike. Not a bad fish. For a moment there we thought it was a muskie. Sigh…

Jerry releasing his 30-incher. Our next release shot will have the fish properly facing toward the camera.
