The Score is Tied

I finally caught a big walleye! Mine was also 29 inches and about 9 pounds. I caught mine up by Chambers Island where I caught the salmon.

so now we are tied -- both of us having caught 9 pound walleyes. We have also caught some very large small mouth bass. We hope to continue this run of good fishing.

We spent a day at the EEA. The big airshow in Oshkosh. It was really something to see. You can't see it all in one day. We got to tour inside an old B-17 bomber. The spaces inside were so small its hard to believe a whole crew was inside for hours flying missions. It was only $1500 to take a half hour ride in a P-51 Mustang -- the fighter jet of WWII in the Pacific.

There are planes landing and taking off constantly. They even have planes landing two at a time on the same runway. One plane would have to land on the front half of the runway and another would be landing on the back half. There is so much acreage to the show that they have free buses to take you from the parking to the show. Once at the show there were trams you could ride around to try and see everything. One thing that struck me -- they didn't allow alcohol to be sold until after 5PM. This is quite something for Wisconsin -- the land of taverns on every corner of every town or crossroads out in the woods. It makes sense though because the value of all the aircraft sitting on the ground there is astronomical.
