Northern Minnesota Fishing!!!

This summer has been filled with tons of vacations for us. We started off the summer in May going up to the cabin we always go to in Northern Minnesota and we fortunate enough to go for 1 1/2 weeks this year. The boys absolutely loved spending so much time with Grandpa & Mimi Spoo. The highlight of the trip was Isaac 6, caught his very first walleye. This wasn't your average walleye either. This is how it happened. The day before Nick had to head back home for work my dad, Nick, Isaac & Eli decided they were going to go out fishing and try to get the boys a couple of fish. The fishing hadn't been the best so far this trip. Well they were making their last pass before heading back to the cabin and Isaac hooked a fish. Dad stopped the boat and Isaac reeled and reeled the fish in. Nick and dad didn't think it could be a very big one, maybe a Northern since it wasn't fighting too hard for Isaac. Well he finally got it to the boat and dad put the net down to scoop it up and they were very surprised when they got it in the boat and it was a walleye.. A HUGE WALLEYE. Isaac's fish ended up being a little over 27 inches long and 7.5 lbs. They brought it back to the cabin to show me and my mom and we couldn't believe it. Not very often does anyone catch that big of walleye let alone it being a 6 year old boy. Well since it probably will never happen again and the fish was his very first ever walleye and that big it is in our freezer getting ready to take a trip to the taxidermist and it is going to end up on my living room wall.

The trip was very fun and this is a vacation that we look forward to every year. The boys are already talking about next year when we get to go back~~
