    For many months Jerry Nord and I have awaited our first meeting and fishing adventure. We’ve conversed here on IDO for a longtime. Jerry was formerly from Ifalls and was looking to get back to his roots while spending a day with his son chasing Walleyes. We frankly ran into some tough fishing conditions with 93 degree temps, no wind and yet another batch of emerging Mayflies; Still we managed a nice shorelunch and a box of eaters along with a few biggies.

    Jerry has arguably the most stories packed into one brain than any other fisherman I’ve had the pleasure to burn a day down with. Such fun in the boat. I think my body temperature has finally cooled to a mere “Sizzle”. WOW was that HOT!! I think the “Daze Frame” is built for 40 Below temps up to 60. 93……….NOPE!! LOL!!

    Shorelunch……….Cannonballs!!

    Great fishing with you boys!!

    Note the fear in the eyes of that perch patterened H20 Precision jig hanging from that beautiful Walleye of Jerry’s. You’d think those Walleyes would eventually learn.

    Thanks Chris for starting the process of shaking the “rust” off this too long away from Rainy Lake’Eye Chaser. Jonathan says we need to figure out a time for next year now! Though you may have seen it as a slow day, we had a blast catching what we did. Great lesson in how to fish this time of year, and even better shore lunch (don’t any of you ever pass one up), and the grinning expression of a sleeping son on the ride home – priceless. Oh, and for all you “thrill ride seekers”: Make sure to get Chris to take you on the backwater channel. 300 ponies pushing you between island and sunken reef, turns and twists to rival any Seven Flags ride. I swear there were times I could’ve reached out and touched any overhanging jack pine.

    For all of you who have had the experience of being out with this true professional, I now understand the deep feelings of respect you show to him here. For any of you who haven’t had the experience, make sure it’s on your bucket list…and the sooner the better. I am now off to conjure up some of them great “Grandpa Mike’s” beer batter walleyes! Nothing better to burn the memory into this olde brain.

    Very kind words Jerry!! Had a great time with you two and hope we’ll be able to do it again in the near future. Enjoy that meal of Rainy Lake Walleyes!!
