walleye_man Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 a couple of days ago we tryed out a new spot neither of us have ever fished set up the portable in 17 feet of water and drilled holes everywhere to find different depths and we started off there around 230 after a bit and only catching 2 dinks we moved into shallower water at about 430 thats when the action heated up got a ton of smaller fish a couple keepers then mickey sets the hook on this HOG she was 23 inches long and had a huge girth on her im thinking around 5 pounds maby less sadley she didnt want to take off so we had to keep her Crying or Very sad moments later we hear a ton of commotion from the shack next to us so we go to check it out they just had to outdoo us and land a 7 pounder Shocked i have never seen a walleye that big in my life again it wouldnt swim off its like after the fight they would instinly just give up its really sad to have to big sponers like that gone but thats life heres a pic of the 7 look at it compards to my boot i wear size 13's so i thought ok this spots great i gotta try the mourning bite and yet again i was not dissapointed within minutes i had my first walleye on the ice a nice 17 incher i then caught a bunch of smaller fish that all whent back and missed a solid 3 pounder at the hole cant wait till the next outing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoeFishing Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If your gonna release them in winter you gotta be really quick or dont take them out of the hole at all ... it's worst for them in winter than summer Just pop the jig out and flip them around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
