Smiling Walleye

A walleye smiles for the camera after caught in a catch-and-release lake in Eagan, Minn., July 4, 2009. A backyard water fall was positioned perfectly to compliment an outdoor fireplace and traditional pizza oven. The water crashed into a private lake, providing an aerating effect that helped breed heavy walleyes. The lake was full of the Minnesota state fish. A short cast off a dock routinely reeled in a decent catch.
