Just When I thought I knew it All

[bushart]

Out lookin for Willy this morn on our local lake---started in all the old haunts---tried jig/live bait--bottom bouncer spinner--trolling different cranks at several depths---2 gators and one smallie

 

THEN the wind started to howl so bad it drove me looking for shelter--now I always believed if I was'nt fishing the windy side I was'nt catching eyes but this was too rough.

 

So I headed for a sheltered bay thinkin I'll catch some perch or sunnies for a while on a nice day then head home--well I was drifting jig and worm and had a nibble--felt perchish--thought I'd try some "Gulp" baits I just bought on a jig.

 

10 feet later 23 inch walleye---10 more feet another small guy under slot (supper fish) then heres the new rule--all after were over 18 inches so I figured I had din din and went home.

 

Moral of story sometimes they're not on the wavy side--and you don't have to get beat up to catch them.

Was that top one eatin' fries and ketchup when you caught him?

 

Should be some good eats!!!

[cranks bait]

Dang, that looks exactly like the pair I caught last night. Except mine had no sunlight. We were cruising the river fog till midnight. Mine too met the knife, can't wait to snack.

 

Nice catch.
