The Luck of the Norwegian on St. Patty's Day

St. Patrick's Day was on a Tuesday this year.  Eric had decided that since it was a beautiful day, he'd use some of his flex time from work to go fishing at a local river bridge, about twenty miles away.

He caught his limit of walleye within minutes and returned to us with some beautiful keepers, which we decided definitely needed to be fried up for supper!
In addition to the walleye, he caught a nice-sized Northern also.  The Northern must have had a voracious appetite that day to bite Eric's jig, because when he reeled him in, there was a walleye tail fin still hanging out of its mouth!
When Eric cleaned the Northern, the walleye it had eaten was almost the size of the keepers he'd caught and brought home (which were about 15"-16" each).
NOTE: The following video is graphic!  Do not watch it if you have a queasy stomach when it comes to fish-cleaning!!  :-)  
Ramsey enjoyed seeing the fish that Daddy brought in the house on the stringer, but isn't quite ready to eat it.... yet!!
