Here some photos I finally scanned that are sure to entertain Mr. Worrall and Mr. Wild. The first photo (I guess the 2nd photo) is of my Grandparents (Andy & Betty Anderson). Check out the old Tin Chicken in the background that Clarence Bodenhagen, owner of Bayside Resort, bought and thought it would make a fancy storage shed. The other photo probably is from the same year. I'm sure all 3 fish were pumped filled with lead, but is it wrong for a man to dress like that while pursueing muskies...I think not! The color photo (L to R is Doug Robinson, Bob Carey, and Skip Anderson (my father). The fish was 47 3/4" 25 lbs. 5 oz. and was caught right in front of Bayside Resort in "Mud" Bay.

My God Skip Anderson without WHITE slacks! He did own blue jeans at one time.

Love the flash in the past!

Love the old pictures! I remember as a kid looking at pictures and super 8mm movies of my Dad and his uncles and cousins of the trips they used to take up to Canada. Had the old "bubble cars" and the cases of beer were stacked higher than the fishing gear they would take. Never understood the beer part but I am catching on!!!

I don't remermber if Mr. Worrall or I was taking the pictures!
Wouldn't it be great to fish back then with today's technology? Or even just to fish back then before the incredible pressure on the muskies of today's fishing

C-mon Steve. Probably more musky swimmin today then yesteryday. Fish were harvested in numbers back then. These are the good old days!!!

Pelicans habitat has changed, so have the patterns.

The aspect that I was looking at was being the only boat on a body of water instead of one of four boats on a piece of structure.
JD, how long before the hand will be ok to fish with?
