What a catch! Most anglers fish a lifetime and never hook a 30 incher. That was not the case for Nate Nygard guided by Captain Baihly Hontvet this past week.

Nate had never caught a walleye before and boy was he surprised when the first one that grabbed his bait was a 30 INCHER!! What a catch! It even got better; the next day he also caught a 24 inch walleye! Needless to say he is hooked and can’t wait to come back. We have seen some really great fishing so far this summer we can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store. Check out Nate and his catch!
