September 6, 2024 | Scott M. Lepak
Attorneys Scott Lepak and Bill Huefner spent the morning of Saturday, August 24th bass fishing on the Mississippi River near Royalton Minnesota with their trusty guide Tommy Steffen from Steffen’s Rum River Guide Service. The fishing was great with 43 smallmouth bass landed in 4 hours. Highlights of the trip included Bill and Scott landing a bass at the exact same time (noted in the picture). Bill was the largest fish winner this year. Scott was lucky enough to catch smallmouth #10, 20 and 30. Even with all the rain and high-water levels throughout the first part of summer, the river is now down enough to find the fish.
