A helping hand

It is a bit odd that Neil would mention the “man hand”. I am beginning to get a little concerned that the Professor watched a little bit too much of the Six Million Dollar man television series as a child. The Professor and I were honing our skills for our trip up to VBL under a hot sun and I kindly asked him to pass me a beverage. Out comes the man hand…from his pants. The man has sprouted another bionic hand. I have often said that a third hand would come in handy (pardon the pun) when those walleyes at VBL are biting fast and furious. But this seemed a bit much. But I have to admit that the Professor’s signature series red Frabil glove was actually quite nice. At first I was a bit hesitant knowing where it had been, and you will notice in the first picture that it is hardly noticeable. But then, I started picking out clothes to match the mighty frabil glove.

Now of course Gord will note that this is yet another lame attempt to post some pictures of some nice fish. We will be very happy to post some actual VBL walleye pictures this fall if only Gord would give up the coordinates for that walleye pen. On a positive note, the Professor and I were reminiscing about catching a lot of very nice walleyes at a number of different places. None of those experiences match what we have experienced at VBL on a regular basis. And the Professor will tell you that he started fishing Eagle Lake at a competitor’s place. Gord and Susanne, we can’t wait to make it up this August.
Oh yea, the Professor caught a few too. Is it real or is it memorex? Come up the third week in August to find out for yourself.
