May 27-28, 2005

This is our last morning of fishing. I made good use of the time catching a monster 40-inch Northern Pike beating the 36-inch one I reeled in earlier in the week. During the trip our boat won all the honors amongst our compatriots; I had the two biggest Pike, while Kirby caught the biggest Walleye and biggest Smallie.

At noon, we started the slow cruise back to port. Very late in the evening, we unloaded and began the very long overnight drive back to Chicago. We were very lucky with the weather. It was mild with a few sunny afternoons. At this time of year, it has the potential to be really nasty this far north.
