May 1995

I accompanied one of my salesmen taking his largest customer on a fishing trip to Lake Erie. We drove the five hours to Port Clinton, OH in two cars and spent the night. The next morning, we chartered a boat to take our group out to the shallow west end that is famous for large Walleye Pike. There were so many boats we could have walked across the water. We used bottom bouncers so our lines would not get snagged on the rocky lake bed. Somehow, I got lucky, and I pulled in the largest fish, a 30¼ inch monster! It is almost a state record and easily qualifies for a Fish Ohio Award. We take it home and I had to get it mounted and displayed prominently, much to Aimee's dismay.
