Here is Doug Stephen and his two grandsons Colby and Nevan Johnson during a recent fishing trip. In two hours, they caught eight fish on July 5 from the shore at Craik.
Dylan Dieno can barely hold this whopper of a walleye he caught while fishing on Last Mountain Lake near Etter’s Beach Wednesday, July 10. Dylan was fishing from the boat with his papa (Garnet Dieno), Hook and Garvin. Dylan was the best fisherman on the boat that day, having caught his limit before Papa, Hook and Garvin even got a bite. Dylan used a Hot ‘N Tot lure to land this walleye.
We sure enjoy seeing all these big fish.
