The Wunder Boner! My Wife Would Like That…
Apparently, this was a real commercial back in those decadent mid-90′s. Ahh, that wonderful pre-9/11 world, full of senseless acts of senselessness and rich with double entendre. Does anybody have a Wunder Boner? The only place I could find it for sale is sold out. I’d love to review it.
Video of Us Fishing at Lake Vermillion
Here’s some video of our “afternoon commute” on Lake Vermilion, going out from Black Bay over to Schmidt’s Island to fish for Walleye. It’s all POV and, my hope is, will give me something to stick my head into come mid-February to remember that the world is not always so cold or covered in so [...]

Monofilament Vs Braided Line
Well, we have returned from the annual fishing trip. This was the first year at beautiful Lake Vermillion and, as has been well documented by Brian, we didn’t catch many fish. In fact, we caught almost as many colds as we did eatable fish. The trip however was far from a loss, it was actually [...]
