    Charlie Wedes started fishing bass when he was 6 years old and began tournament fishing when he was 12. Now 22, Charlie caught this smallie this spring. (Provided by Chris Wedes) Some anglers have long argued that Minnesota's bass fishing seasons and harvest regulations are confusing at best, and nonsensical at worst. Consider the state's northeast bass zone.

    Fortunately for me, and for my older brother, Dick, dad did that with us, showing up not only when necessary, but all of the time. He'd push hard and expect a lot. But as with the dogs, he knew when to back off and knew especially when to forgive shortcomings. "They haven't made a perfect one yet," he would say, meaning dogs and people.

    MINNEAPOLIS - This would be Bob James' final paddling trip, the last among many, though he had no way of knowing that when he picked up a solo canoe from an Ely outfitter on May 8. James first paddled in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness as a kid, along with his dad, his brother and two sisters. He owned a paddle board and a kayak, but no canoe.

    James preferred to paddle in the Boundary Waters in early May, before people - and bugs - show up in droves as they typically do later in the month. James also knew early May provides some of the border region's best fishing. He knew, too, that on the first day of the state's fishing season, hungry walleyes would tumble and churn in the foamy waters below Curtain Falls, which spill into Iron Lake from adjacent Crooked Lake.
