High School Reunion

Friday night I got together with a couple long time high school buddies for an evening of walleye fishing on Lake Minnetonka.  The night started very slow but we stuck with it until we were able to land two nice eaters.  This fish went 18" and was Matt's first walleye through the ice on Lake Minnetonka! 

This was Tim's first walleye through the ice and it came in at about 20".  So I guess you could say this trip was about the 2 firsts that we had in our shanty.  Both fish hit a northland buckshot jigging spoon with a minnow head on it.  

The weather has been so miserable for those of you that haven't noticed or don't live in MN.  We have had temps in the negatives every night and wind like you wouldn't believe in the middle of the frozen tundra of a lake.  It is amazing that we have been catching anything at all.  I can tell you though that sitting in a fish house that is 70 degrees makes it much more fun, just don't try to move it or go outside for any reason.
