Nolan Bakke 9, Newfolden, Minn., caught and released this 26-inch walleye Jan. 18 on Lake of the Woods while fishing with his dad, Craig, and grandpa Dean Skoien of Roseau, Minn., who's helping Nolan hold the fish. The walleye hit late in the afternoon. "Nolan had a smile on his face for the rest of the day," Craig Bakke writes. Nolan is a fourth-grader at Marshall County Central in Newfolden.
