Hey, hey, hey. I got out fishing for a little while this evening. I tried a different spot that is yet even further north than where I’ve been fishing. I ended up catching three walleyes that were 21, 25, and 28 inches. The 25 incher was released because I was by myself and on LBDN you’re only allowed one per person that exceeds 23 inches. Shown in the picture is the 28 incher. She weighed 7.2 lbs. They were all caught on #9 blue and chartreuse jigging rapala. I just love watching those big walleyes interact with my lure on my flasher. They are just a totally different creature than those little 18 inchers. The little ones like to fly up and nudge the bait, resulting in a lot of misses. The big ones are cool because they seem to require just the right manipulation of the bait to spark their interest. They come into view, and they are just not interested. I snap it a couple of times and they rise up a couple of inches and then sink back down. I twitch it a bit and they rise up again and then go back down. Sometimes I go back and forth with them like that for five or even 10 minutes. Then, all at once it is like someone flipped a switch. I move the bait a certain way and the fish all at once flies up there and just crushes it, knocking several inches of slack in the line by doing so because the fish is swimming upward and the lure. I just never get enough of that. I love it. I LOVE it. I LOVE IT!! :-)

5 year old son was fishing for panfish with a little size 8 hook with a piece of hotdog skin. All of a sudden the line took off and this beast was on the end. The fight landed about 15 minutes and he was yelling about his arms hurting. Finally the beast surrendered and the boy was proud to win the battle.
