trolling
In our lake of 10,000 acres, when the water warms up to the upper sixties or above, the walleyes seem to scatter to deeper (cooler) water after the sun is up an hour or two and until the sun goes...

Accumulated fishing gear
I would guess I have spent 50,000 to 60,000 over the last thirty years, just on gear. That does not include four boats and tow vehicles. My last Pro-V would now cost me six figures to replace as it...
