Location: Brookfield, WI | Very, very, nice Andy. I love how you're smiling when you're in the boat by yourself.
But only 12 days?
My wife stalked me for like six months. Finally put her hooks into me when I needed a ride home from a County Stadium Packer game after over enjoying a Majkowski over the Vikings game back in the day.

Another par three win today. |

Location: Wausau | Thanks for the appreciations and well wishes...Sled, as I stated early on the phone, the one I had wanting to eat this afternoon was pinned at first dark...a bit smaller at 49.5. I told Sled I thought she was 48 when I saw her earlier, the skinny fooled me.
Oh-by the way...sorry for the wrong date on the Big Fish Entry...after sleeping in my truck and eating tuna out of the bag for 20 days, it was confusing to pick the date.
Even though I caught one really big fish and two other nice ones, all in all - my trip has been a struggle. I have 7 fish in the net since July 24. That's less than one fish every other day. The water temps are anywhere from 71.9 to 68.8 and I think warmer weather is really helping getting the fish more one the move, which allows for them to be caught. Today is suppose to be close to 80 with clear skies.

| Unbelievable fish! Jaw dropping for sure!
To answer lambeau's question: camping on a fish for 12 days? No I have a job. I guess I am jealous? |

Location: Wausau | This post is getting old...time to move on.
FYI> I'm a school counselor which explains my additional free time.
I actually came home early b/c I missed my boys. They were in FL visiting grandparents for the first two weeks while I was in MN. Which helped extended my trip, but they have been home the past few days. I planned on coming home on Friday, but wanted to take them fishing at the cottage too.

| Great fish, great photos.
Curious, how did you get that nice of photos fishing alone? I've done some solo-photography, but never got photos quite that nice.
Congrats on your dedication and destination...
