31.5" Walleye, from shore

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

 

Got an hour of fishing in before sunset in front of the house on Lake Wabigoon.

 

After a pretty miserable year where the weather has really messed up the fishing for walleye on "The Goon", it looks like we are actually getting a normal fall bite, and I have been consistently landing 20"+ fish over the last 2 weeks right off the shore at the bottom of our lawn, about time too....lol.

 

 

tonight the lake gave up a rare treasure...and I landed a 31.5" walleye just as it was getting dark, my PB! I'm buzzing still...with a huge Cheshire cat grin. In all the excitement, I forgot to put the tourney sign in the pic even though I had it right there!...but I was kinda hurrying to get the fish back to the water to fight again another day...which it did

 

Vid is kinda long and includes a few smaller fish before thebig guy at the very end.

 

 

MY NEW PB WALLEYE

[GBW]

nice video Simon. I wish I could chuck a bait like you and catch that often... maybe I need to move... LOL

[frozen-fire]

That is a huge eye.

I can't believe you catch all these fish right in front of your house.... oh, the jealousy.

 

Congratulations on the personal best!

Congrats! Not many things sweeter than catching fish like that from shore....especially when the shore line is your yard!

[solopaddler]

Wow what a nice fish! Can't remember but do you ice fish in front of your place? I'd be building a hut if you don't have one yet.

Nice fish Simon!

That'll be tough to beat, you might as well give up now!

[Roy]

Fantastic report Simon!!! Thanks!

[Rich Clemens]

That's just wrong ... to have a fishery like that in your back yard. (Sitting here in envy of course).

Congrats on a beauty of a catch.

Don't worry about the tourney sign, I've got a feeling you'll catch an even bigger one!!!

 

Thanks for taking the time to post that report!

It sure is nice being able to walk out your door and toss a line. Boy do I miss it.
