Hi All,

 

Still at work but did half an hour again behind the office for walleye. 2nd cast and i thought i got snagged, only to realise the snag was moving?! I

 

was reeling in against a strong current as i am 300yrds upstream from the rapids and was pulling what felt like dead weight for about 30secs, thought it must have been a stick or log.

 

Then wham, i just think the fish did not know it was hooked for a little while, cuz it went nuts...i could feel the head shakes and thought....definitely a jackfish.

 

After what seemed like longer than probably 15 secs i get a look at what i'd hooked into.....BIGGEST WALLEYE IVE EVER CAUGHT!! it was probably 5 or 6 pounds in weight and around 35"? dunno really but i know it was bigger than my previous PB. What really sucks is that for probably the 1 time in a thousand i dont have my camera with me while fishing i get a PB...oh well. I was using one of those Northland Thumper Jigs (orange) with a twisty tail grub...caught 3 eaters as well.

 

Cant wait till tomorrow either, i'm off work for 4 days and i finally get my motor back from the shop so should be out in the boat.....AT LAST!!!!

If you really want to catch a big fish......leave the camera at home......it works everytime!!!

I think this is a golden rule that every angler should know. To catch your PB, leave your camera at home. haha.

 

I'll believe you this time ;) haha

Yep, that's how it goes. But you have it in your memory, where it counts, and you had the adrenaline pump :thumbsup_anim:

Nicely done....what you need to do is have someone sneak your camera in with your gear, so's you don't KNOW you have it....then when you nail a beast like that walleye, you find it while rooting around for some pliers. :) Nice job on the big fish!
