Recently, I received an email reminder for the 2012 Minnesota Bound Crappie Contest on Lake
Minnetonka. This is the 44th year for the fishing contest! I've always been a
fan of Ron Schara, Raven-the-Labrador and the good folks who combine their talents to make Minnesota Bound a real treasure for our communities and families. They've
done much to make folks aware of the beauty of our land and the need to be good
stewards of our woods, fields, lakes and rivers. Through the Minnesota Bound TV
shows and documentaries, fishing clinics, event appearances and sponsorship of
a variety of community programs – generations of kids have learned about the
great outdoors. What a legacy! When you have a few moments, be sure to visit
the Minnesota Bound website at www.mnbound.com.
Now I wish I had a good fishing story of my own to tell, but
I haven't had too many experiences with fishing. Unfortunately, I wasn't born with an innate knack for fishing nor could I seem to develop the skill. I never quite got the
hang of releasing the line and having the hook end up where I wanted it to
land!
