Well the highlight of my week has to be Walleye Willie landing a 46 ½ inch muskie on “Secret Lake” in Otter Tail County.  There are 1,048 lakes in Otter Tail County, more than any county in the United States. Wednesday night Willie and his dad went fishing with a guide, Randin Olson.  It was almost three years ago, in October of 2015, that Willie caught his first muskie.  That year he had made a list of fish species that he wanted to catch and the muskie was the last one on his bucket list of 10 fish.  Willie is 9 years old and he wants to be a fishing guide when he grows up.  I have attached a picture and there is a video on YouTube.  Let me know if you want the link.
