“Marble-Eyes!”
Josh and 2 friends from work fished Mille Lacs Lake out on the mud flats in 3 to 4-foot waves, while trolling cranks in 25 to 30-feet of water! “My buddy Joe got pretty sea sick,” laughs Josh. “We caught 4 walleye in 2-hours before we decided it was too rough. It took over an hour to get back to shore — worst boat ride ever!”

WOW! I can’t believe it! Just a few weeks ago, I announced to our members that the YouTube video, “Monster Fish Caught On Video” was within 25,000 views of a million! And TODAY it has reached 1-Million views! This is very exciting, especially when you think twenty hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute; in turn, users stream 75 billion videos per year. With all those videos, what do you think our chances were of making a dent in YouTube and reaching, 1 million hits?
1 of every 3.1 million YouTube videos ever receive 1 million hits!

“Hog-Heaven!”
While fishing on the Mississippi River, south of the Ford Dam, Josh hooks into
a huge 40-inch Flathead Cat. Using only 8-pound test the fight took nearly
15-minutes. Pictured holding the fish is fishing partner Derrick, while Josh stands
in the background collecting his thoughts as to, “What just happened?

How to find Morel Mushrooms!

“Wild About Morels!”
Wow! Another season has quickly arrived! Once you see Lilacs blooming, it’s time for a walk in the woods! Now — if you’ve never hunted Morel Mushrooms, please don’t be discouraged if you don’t find them right away. It takes patients, a good eye and a whole lot of luck. Listed below are my hottest tips:
- Wear light clothing (Ticks are attracted to darker colors, plus
they are more easily seen) and use rubber bands around cuffs
and tuck your pants into your socks. - Look for areas with dense tree growth (Your local parks
are a great resource) - Look for trees that are loosing their bark. (Not completely,
but just starting to!) - Walk slowly around trees. Using a stick, look under the leaves
covering the ground. The mushrooms my be 20-feet away! - Oh! I’d go now! Before your neighbor picks them first!
See our Outdoor Recipes section for Morel Mushroom Soup and other tasty concoctions.

Rain and Wind Made Fishing Challenging!
I decided to fish, instead of video record, this year’s crappie contest. It’s always fun to watch the boats come in and see kids faces light-up, as they proudly carry their prize-winning fish!
My friends (Brian and Ryan) and I planned to get up early and meet at the launch in Spring Park. It was 6:20 a.m. when we pulled into the Holiday gas station. We grabbed some coffee and donuts and in no time we were in the water!
I was surprised to see very few boats at the landing? The weather for that day called for 70% chance of rain. Perhaps, the threat of rain kept fair-weather fishermen off the lake? (more…)

First Annual 2010 Chili Cookoff
was a great success!
This years 2010 Annual Chili Cookoff winner is…
FML Outdoor Editor,
Scott Nelson
15 couples attended this years event with 11 crockpots full of dangerously good chili!
I had my sites set on winning this event!
Each crockpot was given a number as guest sampled and voted on enormous amounts
of tasty chili.
Within our group of fire eaters — to my surprise,
none of the chili was very spicy?
