He was also guiding then out of the same shop on Lake Michigan and the Mississippi. I never had to borrow money from the bank as a result. Hanson is kind of elusive himself in his own way. Much like the way the white whale moves, Hanson has moved the store. This is its fifth move and probably the last.
Hootch goes to the back of the shop and soon returns with a few dozen little crappie minnows.
The customer tells Hanson how he caught 14 crappies and a northern he couldn't get through the hole in the ice on New Year's day. Later Hanson points to pictures on the counter of the walleyes he pulled out of the lake in Albert Lea. A few six pounders. Hanson said Albert Lea Lake is better for walleyes and as good as Mille Lacs. The shop walls are covered with big fish.
