Minnesota's history of commercial fishing.

Curt Piechowski’s family first got involved in the commercial fishing industry out of Brown’s Valley in the 1940’s. In this story, Piechowski shares the memories from 45 years of working to remove rough fish from area lakes and rivers. Today, Terry Miller of Browns Valley has continued this fishing tradition with modern equipment, including a robotic submarine.
