Cloquet, MN
The 'boys' board the plane and prepare for take-off with Jonah in
the pilot seat....um....the CO-pilot seat that is!
Dessert the first night at
Campbell's, cherry cobbler
with ice cream!!!
On our way!!!
Day 2 - We hit the water to fish!!!
Is that a scuba diver in the water?        NOPE, it's just Don's hat...
The water is 'almost' like glass!
Ryan's first catch of the
trip...a nice luncher!!!
Then Ryan pulls in this REALLY
NICE lunker!!!  A 26 incher!!!
Don was not to be outdone!!!  Two of his really nice wally's!!!
I bet Jack sure wishes he was
here to see the 'guys' don their
new Christmas gifts from J &
G!!!  Thanks G!  We are putting
them to good use!!!

More shots of shore lunch today than fishing...
Jonah shows off his new pole and then catches TWO fish!!!
Papa catches a fish and then Uncle Ryan keeps the wind off Jonah as they cross the lake....Papa
getting tackle from his father's tackle box!!!
'Cooking' shore lunch coffee....                                       frying up potatoes...                                           Carlton supervising the 'kitchen'...

Day 4 - We hit the water for one last day to fish!!!
A nice ride out this morning!!!
We all catch our lunch quickly...a clam for Don, and walleye for the rest of us!!!
Then Carlton tries to catch a 'lunch' that we think he couldn't have finished!!!  He fought this 5 foot (at least)
sturgeon for an hour before the fish bent the hook and took off!!!
Some shore lunch mayhem...Gordy starts a fire while Derrick
watches, then Derrick decides he is 'extra' hungry today.  Some
very fine taters...Jonah eating his hot dog and Gordy with the
coffee can, which has started to disintegrate already!!
