Kathleen and I slept in this morning since we didn't get to bed until close to 3:00 a.m. because of her ordeal with Northworst Airlines.
We needed groceries so after we had some breakfast/lunch, we got dressed and drove into Bemidji to do our shopping.
At 5:00 p.m. we got home, unloaded the truck, I had a quick sandwich while Kathleen got ready to go for a run. While Kathleen went running, John Newman and I went fishing.
The temperature was a pleasent 40 degrees, the wind was light at 5-8 mph out of the NW, the sky was mostly clear and the water temperature was 43.2 degrees. The moon was nearly new at 3% waning.
John and I both used #9 Minnow Raps as we trolled The Alley. John had a hit and miss or two, and the only bite I had resulted in the netting of a beautiful 17 1/2 walleye; which I kept. I want to make Kathleen a tasty fish dinner and this walleye will make a perfect meal.
John and I came ashore at 8:00 p.m. and when I came into the house Kathleen was busy making a pot of vegetarian chili (which was very tasty and spicy). I got a fire going in the fireplace and Kathleen and I hung out together as we waited for her brother Mike, his wife Barb, their son Sean and Kathleen's mother Marge to arrive.
The Coyle crew arrived at Leech Lake at 10:30 p.m. We stayed up way too late talking, listening to music and enjoying each other's company.
We had a wonderful day at Leech Lake.
