Andy and Shawn set the bar at 33 inches……

The Lewis boys are up at the lodge this week, and some inter-family competition seems to be happening.

big trout

A beautiful 33 inch lake trout released by Shawn.  Try and beat that one dad!

another walleye

That’s a pretty nice walleye you’ve got there Andy….but you’re still not up to the challenge!

28 incher

Shawn fights back with a bigger walleye…………28 inches, released……very nice!

Andy is all smiles…on the outside…..but secretly planning his “big move”……..

musky walleye

Shawn strikes a blow to Andy’s self esteem by catching slot walleyes the hard way…on musky gear!

rodeo

Andy uses the “distract and conquer” technique by alternating his target species… will it work?

small bait

Shawn seems to be buckling under the old man’s pressure.  Is that a fish or are you just excited to see me?

shaw

Shawn regroups and the pressure is back onto the elderly Andy Lewis.  Can he find the gumption to fight back?  Time to pull out the “Hail Mary” technique you’ve been afraid to unleash……till….now……….

another 33

Oh, my.  33 inches of walleye fury.  Nicely done Andy!  Another personal best for the Lewis clan.  While the Lewis fishing still continues at time of publishing this, we hope that the 33 inch trout / walleye trip of 2013 will only be the beginning of future big fish records being broken.

One question remains.  Will Andy’s fishing partner “The Professor” be able to meet the challenge in his upcoming trip?  Andy has thrown down the gauntlet.  Can Joe bend over that far?……..stay tuned!
