Way back in april , when we had some warm days , I decided to go fishing in the creek for chubs , just for something to do .
Buddy that i was living with at the time was bored too , so he grabbed a rod and tagged along .
He was using his tackle ... with no luck , and i was pullin chubbies out one after another using my homemade lures .
I ended up giving him one , and he managed to catch 2 fish .
In May , he left to go live in Quebec for the summer , and I just ran into him at the begining of December .
It was just about noon when i ran into him and we were both hungry , so we went to grab a bite to eat . He started laughing , and said he said he couldn,t wait to see me to tell me this story , and said that we gotta go into business .
He was out in a boat on some lake with a bunch of guys , and they were fishing for walleye for 2 days , and nobody had caught a single fish ( they just were,'t bitting he guessed ). Amongst them , they tried every lure they had , and nothing .
Then he spotted the tiny little cartoon lookin' lure that i gave him , and said " what the heck .. tried everything else ".
Because it is a slow sinking lure , he put a splitshot on about 4 feet up ... to get it down beep enough . He nailed Walleyes one after another for 3 hours strait .. then that was it .. they iether stopped bitting .. or he caught em all .
He said he had people offering him money and cases of beer for the lure .. but he said no . " Its the only thing thats working , and I only got this one " he told them . He told me he was the talk of the town for the whole weekend , and people were still trying to buy the lure off him .
Anyways .. was real cool to hear that one of my crappy little lures was catching some nice walleyes .... made my day .
