Bemidji area is kicking out some fish. I caught the below on an "area lake" on Friday June 26th. Obviously its evening. Topwater. About an hr apart. Smaller one is 47, larger is 53x22. Mike, we've only met briefly at Northwoods Landing on Bemidji the night your brother caught a 55.5 I believe out there after dark, 2 years ago. The one you wrote an article on in Musky Hunter, about stalking. Seen you on the lakes plenty since then but never talked much. Would expect with July basically here you are either up already or coming to the area soon? Can't say I've seen you yet. Better hope they don't all have sore mouths already, lol.

On more of a "report" note fish are showing up on Bemidji now, some real pigs mixed with lots of mid to upper 40's. Some fish are gettin stuck trolling open water. Plantan is producing also. Cass has been slower. Lots of lookers on blades but slow topwaters are gettin the bites.
