Bridget Marsh was fishing with her parents, Doug and Nancy McReady and reeled in this nice Basswood Lake walleye on opening day.

NICE WALLEYE caught at Lewis Narrows by Doug McReady who ran into some bad luck when the chain of his metal stringer broke off he lost four of the seven walleyes.

Pre-opener crappie that went 13.5 inches on the ruler was caught off the dock by Packsack Canoe Trips and Log Cabins owner Danielle Ott.
