Tom and Don with their catchMinocqua, Wisconsin, 1990
As kids we used to fish for perch, bluegill, sunfish and rock bass with worms. As we grew up, we cast lures for bigger fish like smallmouth and largemouth bass and northern pike (though these are really too small). On rare occasions we caught walleye and muskellunge.
