Tania Waldal, Red Lake Falls, Minn., shared this story about a recent fishing trip to Lake of the Woods with her mom, Cheryl Seeger, Red Lake Falls; aunt and uncle, Greg and Diane Johnson, St. Hilaire, Minn.; and family friend Pam Schmidt:

"My mom had not been fishing in over 15 years to Lake of the Woods, and this 27-inch walleye is one of many fish that she caught! My Uncle Greg volunteered to bait our hooks and take our fish off our hooks.

"What a guy -- he even said he had fun doing it!!"
