Dad’s Walleye

Being a Minnesota girl, I grew up with a fishing pole in my hand. Not only were we taught how to bait our own hooks, but taught how to catch our own bait as well! (To this day I am not a big fan of gummy worms.) Times spent in the sun, on the lake, were always special. The smell of gasoline, feel of sunshine and sight of a bouncing bobber were some of the best senses ever. My Dad loves to fish. And fish, and fish. I think he simply likes the serenity of the water. So once did these Walleye.
