Check out this really cool video of Kermit Wick, who turned 101 today. To celebrate, he went ice fishing. What else would a Minnesotan do? He scored a really nice fish. One any angler would be envious of.
If you can’t play the video above, try it on the KARE11 web site (in the right column).
The story was put together by reporter Boyd Hupert, who occasionally does human interest stories called Land of 10,000 Stories on our local NBC affiliate KARE11. He does a really good job on them. If you have time, check out some of the other stories he’s done. I would recommend them.

Thanks for posting this story on your website. I think my Grandfather will be more proud that his story is on a MN fishing website than on the evening news!!!
Thanks!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Your grandfather is a joy to watch. I only hope to still be fishing when I’m his age. I look forward to seeing video of his fish on his 102nd birthday.
That was a great piece! I can only hope I am that excited about fishing at that age. And seriously, a couple hawg bass he caught there.
