Where Mille Sacs Lake, Minnesota
When 1958
Photographer Thomas J. Abercrombie

"A wall of walleyes caught by a single family at Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota, ranged from pound-and-a-half [0.68 kilograms] sacks to seven-pound [3.18 kilograms] feasts. Spurning a long, cold crouch over a hole, this group from Minneapolis pursued their quarry from a snug 42-foot [12.80 meters] trailer heated with a portable electric generator."

—From "Special Issue: Best of America," September 2002, National Geographic magazine
