Especially out on Big Stone Lake, adjacent to picturesque Ortonville. You can’t hardly dip a toe in the water without catching a couple of walleye there drenching it in algae and developing a painful rash.

That would work too." "Note to the Mauer-haters, Adam Everett officially “has more power” than Mauer." If anyone has been fishing Mille Lacs this weekend, both those comments are perfect metaphors. Let's just say our fillets turned out more Adam Everett than the "M&M Boys". But at least we got something. Now I know why the restaurants around Mille Lacs were so overwhelmed for Mother's Day. And why we were eating Tilapia instead of Walleye - we should've known - did anyone else notice the Strib foto of the "whopper" our esteemed Governor Tim "Potholes a'Plenty" reeled in? A real "keeper," eh Guv? “Except for a couple of good-sized walleyes. That would work too.”
