Grandma Takes the Prize





Fishing has been on a downturn here on Indian Lake for the past week.  Oh, folks are getting fish alright, but it has not been fast and furious as some years have been.  Some say it's the late spring, some say it's the recent cold spell, some don't know why.  I can tell it's beginning to pick up again though, especially when Grandma Liz Hansen outshines all her children and grandchildren with a huge 45 1/2 inch, 22 lb Northern Pike.  I heard from her husband, Don Hansen, that she even started a new trend with their family by giving the fish a smorgasbord of both worms and leeches on the hook to entice them to bite.  Liz is a kind, quiet, unassuming women, but she sure packs a punch when she's out on the lake fishing.  Way to go Liz!!
  Like the Canadians put it, "Who says girls can't fish, eh?"
