Lindner’s Angling Edge Facebook page reports that the world record for catch-and-release ice fishing walleye has been broken.  The details:

Date: January 5, 2011

Angler: Tim Geni of Regina, Saskatchewan

Lake: Last Mountain Lake, Saskatchewan

Length: 33 3/4″, Weight: 15 lbs, 5 oz.

Lure: Chartreuse 3/8 oz PK Pat’s Killer Spoon

Line: 4 lb Vanish

You can get more details here.

If you want to buy a twelve pack of Pat’s Killer Spoons, visit PK Lures.  They will be posting video and pictures of the catch to their Facebook page soon.

Ronald Reagan speaks out from 1961 in a record that was distributed in response to Democrats’ plans to socialize medicine.  I wish we could hear his voice now during this recession. 

This will surely brighten your day…I wish there were more news stories like this.
