“Walleye Willie” turned 7 years old in March. Willie is passionate about fishing. He even sleeps with a “fish pillow”. Every year he makes a list of 10 fish that he wants to catch. Last year it was well into October when he and his dad landed a 46” Muskie, the last one on the 2015 list. Already this year he has caught five of the ten fish on his bucket list, including a Sturgeon that he landed on March 28th.
His dad, my son Erik, is launching a brand new hunting and fishing show which will be family oriented. “The Outdoor Report” will be televised on Fox Sports North and Fox Sports Wisconsin for 13 weeks starting on July 2nd at 8:30 am. “Walleye Willie” will certainly get some air time.
One of the sponsors of the show is Power Lodge out of Brainerd. For that reason Erik will get the use of a brand new aluminum Ranger boat with a 135 horse Evinrude. Our 2014 Lund Model Z16FX with a 50 horse Mercury 4 stroke is up for sale. If you are interested, I can send you a video that we made when we launched the boat on Cedar Lake. We christened the boat the “Walleye Willie”.
Next Monday the 23rd , at 10 am, Ron Bowen, the founder of Prairie Restorations, will be on MPR News with Kerri Miller and Dr. Karen Oberhauser, from the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology. The topic will the plight of the Monarch Butterfly and how you can help to create habitat even in your own backyard. Be sure to tune in to KNSR 88.9 at 10 on Monday. www.prairieresto.com
