limeyangler Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozen-fire Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bly Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Congrats! Not many things sweeter than catching fish like that from shore....especially when the shore line is your yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
