Just wanted to say thanks to Norm and Todd for taking the time to stop and meet
with us on their way back from LOTW to mark up some maps for us as we were on our way up there for the first time. Also, thanks Norm for letting us borrow your lure retriever; It was put to use many times. ha. Thanks again guys for getting us on the right track.

Also thanks to Frank and Laura Walsh of Walsh's BayStore Camp for a great week. We will certainly be back!

The Trip Resulted in my new Personal Best, a 50.25 caught on one of my Double 10's.

Nice work A-Roz!!!!!! Beautiful fish!!!

Turned out to be a great graduation gift I see. Glad you had a good trip. Hopefully I get the full report via email.

The Frabill lure retriever is worth its weight in gold up there!

Lure retriever????? I thought that was a rock repeller. At least Todd works it like a Gondolier in Venus. Alex, you should really be proud. You figured it out all on your own, and made it happen. No dumb luck. No gimmie spots. Just using you head and accumulated knowledge. And on a day when most guys were crying the blues. Great job. With your potential, you will get lots of chances to practice ringing the bell.

Nice job man!! You pulled off a feat all strive for, though few enjoy. Sounds like Franks bell has gotten quite a work out this year.

Nice, Alex! Now, let's beat that this fall!

Kudo's to two of the best guys in the muskie world. Norm and Todd. Maybe all this flattery will get me an extra discount! Eh, Norm?
