Wisconsin June 2012

Just got back from a week in Wisconsin, visiting family and fishing. 

We arrived late, but I squeezed in an hour.

It was worth it.

How about a face full of that!

The next day was June Dairy Days in Markesean.

The parade sure had a lot of tractors.

Cows.

These goofy guys.

They hand out cheese.

Can't say my daughter liked the Tilt A Whirl.

She almost tossed her cheese.

The next day back to Little Green Lake. Caught this one on a skull beaded Mack Lure Whirly Gigger.

Better.

Then to Rhinelander, home of the Hodag.

Where my nephew caught this guy.

Everybody caught pike.

Had to tell my sis to stop reeling... you got him.

Teva Mountain Games 2012

Frank Smethurst dominated the 2 Fly Extreme presented by Maui Jim at this years Teva Games. He qualified first, finished first in the semi's and finals, and caught the biggest fish to boot. I failed to make the finals by two spots. After qualifying 8th, I once again slid in the semi's finishing 10th in the men's division. Disappointing, but always the crowd favorite. A big shout out to my friend Lisa who finished second in the women's division.

Do It!!!

Crap another miss.

I started hot, going 5 for 6 on the first two targets .  Then I fell apart missing  7 of the next 10.

The first round, slimming the field from 80 to 25.

Hopefully I picked up a sponsorship from Redington.

My friends Nate and KO.

Even if you don't like fishing there is a ton of other cool stuff.
