Yes, it was carefully released!

Excellent, thanks!

Yes,of course!

I caught this little guy on a Lindy Rig/fathead fishing for walleye on a Twins Cities Metro area lake. It has interesting color pattern that I have not seen before. I'm thinking definitely Muskie, and perhaps a Tiger. Any input would be great! Not much luck with walleyes (one small one), but plenty of bass and large crappie action! There is always a new lake and another day! Hope your opener was great!

Thanks! I take a look.

Great! You too. I love LOW and the Boundary Waters!!

My boat is in storage in River Falls (too bad I'm not much of a trout guy). I know a few lakes North of Hudson and Baldwin. I like smaller, quieter lakes. I have not fished the St Croix yet, but have met some folks that do so will try that too this year. I have spent most of my adult years in Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka area, but have fished in many parts of the State. Red Lake is on my bucket list for 2021!

Thanks! Yes,out weather has been crazy. A few weeks ago I caught 6 very nice crappies shallow. Since then nada. That was shore fishing. Unfortunately, they all had eggs. Will have the boat out this weekend. I'll take your advice. Have a good opener!

Just wondering about prospects for the opener this weekend. Are there any Wisconsin fishermen out there? I'm after crappies and walleye!
