From the moment we met Captain Robert and Capt. John, we knew we were in for something special. They alerted us the Walleye bite might be slow—but we would get some fish allowing our family the choice to reschedule or come. That honesty set the tone for a truly memorable outing.
Both Captains were very welcoming to the entire family, taking the time to answer questions of how deep the water was, how they would know where the fish were, and showing where they could see the information on his equipment. The twins would look for the depth and go back and tell everyone fishing how deep the water was.
It was not long before the first 7-year-old had a fish, reeling it in, with an adult helping support the rod, while he reeled it in. Quickly followed by another bite, thank goodness, so the second twin had his first fish.  After the catch, he held the fish up in front of each boy so Grandma could snap the perfect photo. Dad and Grandpa got their shots, too—no one missed out. This set the tone for the whole trip, because when the male adults were reeling their catch in, the two men were helping the twins, supporting the rod while they brought their fish aboard. Instructing them how to hold the Walleye and the different way to hold the Perch that were caught.
But the best part was how they brought the boys into the clean-up process. Letting them help package the day’s catch turned a simple chore into a lesson in responsibility and pride. My grandsons have not stopped talking about “our fish” and keep recounting stories of “Captain Robert” and “Capt. John.”
