I was unable to make the Camp Confidence Fishing Tournament last Saturday, so my son Erik asked one of Walleye Willie’s friends to fill in for me.  Cooper is also 10 years old.  They had to get up before 5am and drive to Madden’s Resort.  They headed out with about 60 other boats at 8am.  Most of the boats were owned by professional fishing guides who had volunteered to take two paying guests to try for either 3 walleye, 3 Northern or three largemouth bass.  You could also choose to enter a mixed bag of one of each species.  They fish until 2pm and then they have a weigh in.   “Team Wadena” tied for second place in the mixed bag category and took first place for the “Lunker Walleye”.  A 27 ¾ inch fish.  Erik caught the walleye and the two boys each caught one of the other two.

The bad news is I have been replaced by Cooper.  Oh well, I could buy a bigger boat and go along to take pictures.  A photo is attached.

“It’s widely known that among salesmen; as among fishermen, about 25 percent of them wind up with about 75 percent of the winnings.  And evidently it’s not so much the flashy presentation of the persuasive personality that brings in the big money as it is the systematic perseverance in finding and following up leads.”   University of Chicago’s Industrial Relations Center.
