A group of friends went to Lake Vermilion near Cook, MN to explore 40,000 acres of water and 365 islands. Nice walleyes and a few bonus fish were caught in high winds and rough waters. The real bonus was the fellowship of five anglers. Pictured in the photos are Kerry Mayer, Roy Baker, Russ Foster, Mike Brooks and Dick Ellis.

Oh, yah — Olie and Sven showed up, too.
Uff-da, ’dat vas a hoot!
