2012 IN PICTURES

by Bret “T-Bone” Amundson

Here was my 2012 “in pictures”. There’s no possible way you can enjoy them as much as I did, but I thought I’d share! The pictures get a lot better in August when I bought a new camera…

January included a trip to Lake of the Woods. Below Adrian shows off a nice 23″ walleye.

The beginning of Feb found us in a sleeper house on LOW. Don’t let your beer freeze!

March: Spring snow geese!

April – Crappies with Dad and I hooked into a huge, funny tasting walleye.

May: My first spring turkey and white bass during a quick trip on Prior Lake.

June: Got into some bass fishing in the Detroit Lakes area.

July: Wouldn’t be July without a trip up the Gunflint Trail!

I’d like to apologize to my brother for not taking a very good picture of this 40″er.

August: New camera and Game Fair! Plus some early goose action

This young girl is about to unleash the beast at Game Fair!

I hear this is where all the geese hang out?

Decisions, decisions.

I didn’t take this picture of Dylan, but how can you not include it?

Happy New Year, and here’s to a better 2013!
