Description

Ted Rulseh guides you through a lifetime of angling in You Shoulda Been Here Last Week: the joys, thrills, and failures; the moments of wonder; treasured times with friends and family. You'll share the magic of Opening Day. A boy's triumph on catching, at last, a plump river carp. A father's pride in his kids' first fish. Fresh spring smelt and suckers for supper. Fishing with Dad. Annual Northwoods trips with hometown pals. The search for a long-lost antique lure. Spousal skirmishes on keeping bait in the fridge. Along the way you'll surely discover scenes, insights, lessons, recollections, to help enrich your angling adventures.
