Well, it has been a while since my last post, and it is fitting that after a few years this post is all about the Bjorem Family. First it was Dick and Jane and I had not seen them since covid. It was like turning back time. They did good fishing, catching over 30 Brookies in 3 days. They each got 1 over 5lbs and Dick had the biggest by 1oz. Sorry Jane, you can’t win them all. It was so nice to see old friends face to face and spend time catching up on life and fishing. Then after a short turn around Dick came back with Rick for another 3-day trip. But before I get to that I have a story to tell about Dick. We were fishing the pool at split rock, and we were in the back eddy when my shifter broke on my motor. Anyone who has been there knows what I am talking about. I told Dick there was no reverse and we were heading for the rocks moving fast. Dick was in the front seat and dove out of his chair just in time to get his hand on the nearest big rock. We still hit the rock very hard getting the biggest scratch and dent my boat has. Dick smashed up his hand pretty good; I think he had a broken knuckle or two. The next day it looked like a golf ball in his hand. He still fished and had to drive back home. This is one quick thinking tough old man he must have been an Iron Worker. Not only did he save my boat damage, but Jane was safe as well. So now he comes back with Rick, and they caught 50+ Brookies over 3 days. Rick got the biggest one at 6lbs. We missed seeing Lucy as she could not make the trip. We hope all is well. This family is fun to watch fish they are so skilled; Rick is very skilled. I hope you guys had a good walleye trip.
God willing, we will fish together again.
The Laukkanen
family.
