Thompson brothers share unlikely fishing tale on Big Round Lake
John Thompson of Eau Claire hooked sunglasses while retrieving a lure in 25 to 50 feet of water off a cottage dock. He pulled out a mismatched prescription pair that matched ones his brother Tom lost about seven years ago while waterskiing. The Sims suggest the glasses drifted from the dock over years, a humorous end to a tale many call a fish story in the family.
