Guest jaeteriusZero Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 should've kept that one and release the smaller/bigger ones. That looks delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 should've kept that one and release the smaller/bigger ones. That looks delicious. It was over the slot size so I couldn't keep it. It was near 54 cms. I agree it looks delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nice fish! You look familiar, have you ever lived in North Bay? I also thought that you looked familiar and thought that I've see you in the fishing department in Wal-Mart. I'd say 2-3 years ago.....Hmmmm small world... very nice Pink'Eye.

That being said, I always find my way to the fishing section too!! If anybody here makes 1/8-1/4 oz bucktail jigs please PM me. I snagged this one and have been searching for a replacement (not as easy as I thought), I'd buy 10 or 20 jigs if someone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Nice looking fish and a good size, an unbeatable combo! Didn't anyone ever tell you that smoking will stunt your growth?

I took the advice of a OFNer and made my own. Not sure if there is pink bucktail, but with $20 you can make 50 of them or more. You need bucktail($6).Crazy glue($2-3) or clear nail polish(dollar store). Thread($3-4). That thing that you hold the thread in(bobinholder)($3-4). Some jig heads(varies). And a vice. There are some great bucktail tying vids on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dancing it off bottom while reeling back to shore. I keep the rod tip moving at all times...it reduces snags and taunts the walleye. Not a bad idea JohnnyB. I make my own spinners so why not my own bucktails. I'll look into those vids. I don't like calling it this, but if I tell my GF we are doing "crafts" she always helps out! hehe she's so sweet.

seaman Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 It was over the slot size so I couldn't keep it. It was near 54 cms. I agree it looks delish! I Love Slot Sizing!!! Personally I would of put that fish back, slot size or no slot size in the area...A little big for me personally to eat...but great fish, and great release!! On a side note, in my studdies of Walleye, I have read that any larger size fish would be a female, I rarely keep any walleye over 17 inches, brecause of this! True???....Good job Bud!!!

Moosebunk Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Used to tie alot of pink hair jigs. Pink and pink/white. Favorite color jig when living up north and responsible for some of the best walleye and searun specks. Nice fish. You proved the color works for you too.
