Did you really think I would find time to blog today during the big Minnesota Walleye Fishing Opener? Well…guess again! Instead, here’s a few fishing images I found digging deep into the Sportsman’s Blog archives. Notice any familiar (albeit younger) faces?

If you read my blog last month you’ll know that Penn & Teller do a wonderful “tell-it-like-it-is” program called Bullshit! featured on cable TV’s SHOWTIME Station. Last month they took on PETA.

It’s been a tough few days for sports fans in the Upper Midwest…particularly for those who closely follow the game of baseball. No doubt about, news Monday about the death of Kirby Puckett, formerly of the Minnesota Twins, sent shock waves throughout the sporting world.
