Wild Bill

On Sunday morning Susanne and I took a cup of coffee out to the Walleye Highway and did a bit of trolling. Susanne hooked into “Wild Bill” who fought like a mad man but we finally managed to get him into the plastic tub.

That afternoon the MNR biologists came out to tag the fish and implant a transponder.

They had a good audience with the folk that were out for the first VBL Sunday night fish fry.

All went well and “Wild Bill” was successfully released after a short nap.

Thanks to the ladies from the MNR (Jill, Dorothy & Irene) in Dryden for spending part of their Sunday with Wild Bill. A future Conservation Officer shown in front.
