Enjoy your blog, but some of these picture poses turned my stomach..

Lambast me if I'm missing something.....


I sure wouldn't lambast you.

I'm originally from your neck of the woods, and it is different. The lakes where I grew up are severely restricted this year, mostly with a one walleye limit per day on the Wisconsin side, because my Ojibway cousins can legally spear a large number of walleye in those area lakes based on a treaty that goes back to about 1870.

I also know Nate Herman and his family quite well. I cannot imagine them doing anything to harm a fishery. They are the ultimate in providing fishery protection, proliferation, and family experiences.

They do more for advancing fishing experiences for the elderly and kids than anybody I have ever met. I don't know the particulars of this trip, but I can't believe that the Herman family would do anything but enhance a fishery. Nate, his brothers, and his parents/grandparents, are the ultimate in wildlife enhancement.

They are a very really good conservation minded family, who only have a mentality to improve fisheries management and fun for the disadvantaged.

Regards,
Ken
