It was time for the annual fishing trip to Shell Lake in northern Minnesota. Our families have been going there since we were kids and it is a great place for relaxing and seeing the family. We have folks come in from Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa and Minnesota to join in on the fun. This year we stayed in the big cabin and it was awesome. Thanks Paula for arranging that!
Here is Brad with a nice bass. 
One evening my cousin Brian and I were out and the lake was incredible. The water was like glass and the reflections off the lake were like nothing we had ever seen in our many years at the lake,
Here is looks like we are cruising on the pontoon through the clouds!
It is hard to tell the water from the sky!
Once again we all had a great time. Every night someone would take over the cooking duties and we had lots of good food (here is a partial list):
- Coffee rubbed brisket
- Chili
- Chicken casserole over fresh biscuits
- Apple pie pancakes
- Egg casserole
- Brian’s Famous Goulash
Of course there is always a friendly competition for the most fish and once again this year Paula was the overall fish leader! Way to go Paula.
Brad – better luck next year:)
