Louie Badzinski shows his grandsons Power Bay

Louie Badzinski has been coming to McInnes Lake since a 1972 moose hunting experience. ( At that time, McInnes Lake Outposts were owned by Bob Myers. So Louie has way more experience on McInnes than Hugh and Craig do. ) Moose hunting was not as good as the fishing and since 1974 Louie has returned each year. For the last 20 years, he has come twice a year, sometimes three times a year.

Power Bay is his camp.

In 2009, Louie brought 3 oof his grandsons to start a new generation of fishermen. In June 2009, Louie's grandson, Ben Behling, caught and released this 29.5 inch walleye.

One year later on June 6, 2010, his grandfather caught his 31 inch walleye wihin 100 feet of Ben's 29.5 inch walleye. This 31 inch also is back and swimming in McInnes Lake. The actual fishing hole is a well guarded family secret

.....part of the fishing lore to be passed

from generation to generation within the Badinski family.
