A Genuine Fish Story

Here’s a pic of the 17-lb Brown trout I was fortunate enough to catch last Friday on Lake Michigan just east of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Click on the photo for a larger version that shows the detail on the fish. (Sorry for the sloppy shirt hanging out, but I was a bit distracted.)

Not only was it a real thrill to catch, but also it’s of trophy size. A fish of this bulk in this specie is relatively rare. It may even be worth mounting; we’ll have to see.

I hope, in the days ahead, to post several stories about the great trip we had to the Midwest, including more on the fishing excursion. Stay tuned…

In the future, for the sake of all of us "old guys" please be sure your shirt is properly "tucked in place"!!!!

PS: What did you have in the boat that caused that big fish to "jump in"?

Well, there were only a few swells, so it wasn't "chum". Must have been my blase personality. For sure it wasn't because I'm a good fisherman.
