mike rousseau Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Well I'm around 900 walleye this year with several over 9lbs... But I had no 10 pounders... This was driving me bananas!!!!!!!! So I saw a chance to hit quinte today with my brother... Good idea... Lines were in around 730 am... Board fired around 800 am... Sweet... First fish on lead core.... Get the fish up to the transom... Pig... 10lb 8oz of quinte gold... After that it was a bit downhill... Snagged a perch... I dropped 2 fish... Brother dropped 1 fish... Then late afternoon we boated another eye around 4lbs... No matter how you look at it... It was a good trip... Time with my brother... 10lb walleye... And great weather in December... Anybody else hit quinte this weekend?
mercman Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 I had to look twice to make sure that was a Walleye What a bloody pig of a fish !!! WTG Mike
fishinguypat Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Is it just me or is it's eye ridiculously big Nice catch though!
adolson Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Look at the size of that eye of that eye!

mike rousseau Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Posted December 4, 2011 That fish sure looked bigger than 10.5lbs. David aka Superdad Unless the scale was frozen/stiff... Took and hour to free up my frozen throttle assembly... Under the cowling... Luckily the motor was able to troll till it was sorted out...
Rod Caster Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 must have come from deeper water... Your on a roll Mike!
fishindevil Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 .congrats on breaking 10....what depth did you get him from??? his eyes are gonna pop out???
mike rousseau Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Posted December 5, 2011 Not sure how deep I was running... I don't have a trolling bible... But I saw the fish streak down to 30-40 after the release... So I think it was ok...
Rizzo Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 But I saw the fish streak down to 30-40 after the release gotta love good electronics! Congrats on a great fish
WalleyeSlayer Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Nice Quinte Hawg Bud! Welcome to the 10+ Club. I was out today (Sunday) with my buddies. Had an awesome time with lots of fish. Aadil
Guest chase4chrome Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 I'm a dedicated stream fisherman, but if I have to see more boffo musky/walleye reports I'll have to go out and buy a boat and join you guys... Keep it up gents
Lunkerhunter Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 awesome fish mike. im off to quinte this coming weekend for 4 days. last kick at the can for quinte walleye for me this year. hopefully its a good one.
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Awesome catch! The eyes on that fish are hilariously huge. Certainly makes me regret putting the boat away for the winter already with how mild it's been here.
misfish Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 My eyes went like that once. But I was underage at a certian club. Draft was 75 cents.
limeyangler Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Congrats Mike...an awesome specimen...i will have to visit the BOQ for sure!
cityfisher Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 right on !! the eye has one huge EYE!
Headhunter Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 There is a reason why most guys won't track lures below 30 ft... Outside of it's eye ball trying it's hardest to escape that fishes body, it looks like a nice clean Quitne eye... HH

Carp Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Sweet !!! Congrats on breaking the 10 lb. mark.
moparhawk Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 You could bacon wrap the cheeks on that cow! Very fine fish.
