Experienced fisher folks

I got to fish with an over 90 year old fisherman this weekend and he caught more fish than anyone (like 3 to 1)! He hopped in the boat sprier than some 40 year olds I know. I don't know if he was happier about whooping us all in the fishing department or the fact he didn't have to buy a license with the new law that went into effect.

No substitution for experience... there really isn't.

They changed the law so the ole' timers don't need a license anymore? What is the age that they don't need one? My Grandpa is 93 and still fishes with me once in awhile. He just doesn't stay out as late as he used to when he was young in his 80's. ;-)

They changed it to anyone over 90 doesn’t need a license - It went through at the same time as the no license needed to fish in a state park change.

I read an article that there are 2,000 Minnesota’s over 90 who bought a license (last year I am guessing)
