Mothers Day

[Dan Thiem]

If you can try to get your Mom out this weekend. I called mine and asked her if she would like to go on Mothers Day. She was very excited about it. She's 66 years old and probably hasn't caught a fish since she was a kid.

That is a great idea! I might throw that out there, but I think that my Mom might get more excited if I offered to take her golfing

Remember, Mom's don't need a license this weekend!

Take mom (and the kids) fishing!

Hey guys and gals...do it...do not just think about it.

I had just purchased a boat that would be easier for my mom to use at our Cabin on Amelia. She often fished off shore between Pocket Lake and Lake Mary near Alexandria. We were planning on spending some time at the lake this summer as she lived in Hoffman just west of Alexandria.

Well...to cut to the chase...Mom passed away on April 2 and the entire theme of here service was about fishing. My 10 year old put one of his Rapalas that he used in Canada last year in Mom's casket. Mom will not get to use the boat...I am starting to ramble.

This is one of my first posts on the site since then...kind of nice to be back.

Give Mom a call...

You guys are alright. I just might change my mind about the condition of the human race!

My mom said she'll take a rain check and wait for opener.

What can I say? She knows more about fishing then I do. She's in her 80's now but you can still see her eyes light up when you talk fishing around her.

You should have seen her milk all the info she could out of the oldtimers that stoped in at the sporting goods store for bait back in the 70's. She would know all the hot spot.

Hey, Minnesota Muskie sorry to hear of your loss. Your not alone. My mom was killed in a car accident 5 years ago on April 2 and I feel your pain. So it is really important to tell your moms and grandma's and any other moms you know how much you love them and how much they mean to you.

MM, I think of it this way: My mom is always fishing with me and sometimes I think she might even be helping me. It sucks that it takes tragedy in our lives to truly realize how much we really love someone. Enough said if you ever need anything just give me a shout.

MM, so sorry to hear about your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have not had to endure that one yet... It was bad enuff when Grandma passed away 5 years ago! Treasure the memories and think of her often... Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

MNMuskie Im very sad to here about the loss of your mother! Take that boat out to her favorite spot and catch one or a few in her memory.

I've taken my Mother(s) out fishing on Take-A-Mom fishing for a long time. I took my Mom out a couple weeks ago and we had a fantatic crappie bite (she buys a license every year). She was also in the boat with the walleye pic in my avatar.

This picture is from today with my Mother-In-Law. I've taken her fishing for several years and she always catches fish! She caught this today and it's good to see that. She looks forward to that once a year fishing trip!

My best memory of when the game warden asked for her license back in 2001, and the look on his face when I told him she did not need a license today. He had to pull out his thick law book to find it. LMAO
