Ladies & gentlemen, start you boat motors -- as the 2017 Minnesota Fishing Opener arrives today. Walleye, Northern, Bass, Crappie, Trout, Perch. Bring 'em all on. I will be heading up north to the cabin when I get off the air this morning. Part fishing, part tradition, part looking' forward to summer.
