The good stuff! ... See MoreSee Less

The Walking Boss had been whispering that it would be a good idea to add a buddy to the topwater lineup at Livingston... he's performed well, but not the jealous type.

Surface time getting closer and BigMakk be here soon too.

Don't bring the phone! Too many things to do in both spring and fall. Mid afternoon decided gotta take a few casts; took 20 minutes to find a few, caught three... damn phone rang and next thing you know I was on an emergency rototiller duty. A little sluggish they were, but hit on loong pauses.

Big fun at the Recon Boats event today! Always cool to hang around anglers. Great folks and questions after seminar; got to see many haven't seen in a while and a pleasure to meet several for the first time. Signed some vintage lures and saw a vintage hat.

Was a bit chilly for Recon ride but many toughed it out.

Thanks to Lakeside Marina, Recon and Gillespie crew.

A few throwbacks on Thursday... one of my all-time favs with dad Tex and John Gillespie. Fun trip out east!

Reminder on event this coming Saturday at Lakeside Marina in Oshkosh WI. Recon Boats featured - test drives available, Johnsonville Brats to chew on.

Gillespie crew will be there with me; unfortunately Tex not coming, he's going fishing.

Muskie season keeps creeping closer ...

Early ice out has some advantages... had to share Mom's LMB here on toothless day! Mom has long been a fan of 121 Jerkmaster; she figured this was her biggest ever - so she's a little bit more of a fan now.

Who got some toothless critters?

Great pic 👍🏼

Such an awesome pic! Congratulations to your Mom's biggest ever!👏. No toothless this past weekend. Tried to catch some bass and panfish. Caught 5 pike doing that. My Granddaughter Jaydah got a 35-inch pike on a light panfish rod. She had fun! 🎣

Great catch Mrs. Maina!
