Northland Sportsman Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I didn't get out fishing on opener but had the catch of my life. We had a 6 lbs 10 oz boy on Sat. at 4:30 p.m. Everything went well and we are very excited as this is our first child. I can't wait to get him out fishing! Just had to share. It is the best reason I have ever had to miss opening fishing and it was well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkin'm Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah, I know what you mean. My just over 2 year old daughter told me last week she wanted to catch walleyes instead of the sunnies we were catching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
