         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Saturday, May 9, 2015:  It was the Annual Minnesota Walleye Fishing Opener.  Roads and lakes were crowded by eager fishermen trying for a big one.
Minnesota's Governor pulled in nine fish this year, which is far better than in the past.  Some said it was just dumb luck for a politician to catch fish.
 
Boats were checked by inspectors looking for invasive species. 

That includes before launch and after being pulled out of the water.

It is a program to slow down or prevent the spread of destructive elements in lake ecosystems.

Some of the fishing boats have huge motors.  The one on the left has 250 horsepower.  Gosh, that is more than most cars.
Ducks were enjoying the 50 degree weather looking for fish too. 
 


Chef Paula

 In honor of the Fishing Opener, Chef Paula baked fresh Minnesota Walleye.  She crusted it with Panko and almonds.

On the table with several kinds of rice and green beans, it was perfect for the occasion.

All of this was topped off with a sip of Port.

A fitting end for the day.
