It was day 2 with the Otten clan for my brother Kenneth. Very similar to yesterday with another 10 nice eater walleye and several nice perch. The biggest difference was how calm it was today. Trolling with Walleye's Choice harnesses did the trick again for Grandpa Gene, Henry, and Nick. They had a couple nice fish come unhooked, but that's part of fishing too. Good luck on the water folks...
I gotta ask. Any chance Gene Otten (grandpa Gene) was a Grocer owning Otten's Market in West Bend, Wi. , actually Barton,WI. ?? I grew up there and when I was little, I used to go to the market and the owner was Gene Otten and he was a character too!!! Just Wondering ??? Slammer!!!

They are from the Milwaukee area. I'll check it out and let you know buddy...
It is indeed the same Gene Otten...he talks about the market all the time. I have had the honor to fish with the Otten's for several years now, and it's always a joy.

I remember having an old German lady for a baby sitter when I was a little kid. 4-5 yrs old and she used to take me to Ottens market everyday and I can remember buying Penny candy from Gene Otten . He always had the white apron and hat on and was quite the talker and story teller. Brings back memories of sitting on the steep stairs of his store and eating ice cream and watching cars go buy. Small world eh !!! Slammer !!!
