I am very lucky, I can remember fishing with both of my grandpas and my dad many times from a young age, but the one that always comes to mind, is fishing new years day on the miss. river around the lock and dam north of Prarie Du Chein Wi. I was 12. We had been fishing the dam and wing dams, hadn't caught a thing, dad decided we should go try some back waters, so we ventured out, breaking through some thine ice. Got to "the spot" and started jigging, it wasn't to long and dang I was hung up, or so I thought. The snag I drug up was a 7.5 lb. Walleye !! The funny part of the story is a few days later, we where eating those fish, and I asked dad what he had done with my fish, he said we where eating it. Well I was a little diapointed, I wanted to mount that fish ! Guess what I got for christmas that next year. Yup my walleye. I have caught quite a few larger ones since, but have never kept them. I have mine on the wall. My grandparents are all gone now, but I still fish with my dad often, and take my wife and kids as often as possible.
