New PB Walleye!

[limeyangler]

Hi all, Got my new PB walleye yesterday. I finished nightshift and headed out to my favourite in town spot.

 

Started out with a few small lakers for tomorrow’s lunch then headed off to seek some monster walleye..... they came out to play!

 

I had to move once as some bozo thought it was ok to slowly make his way over within 30 feet of my bow when we were the only 2 boats on the lake (I don’t get that at all ) , but the magic number seemed to be 30'FOW and I soon found another spot and had a fish on again.

 

All fish came on a jig and minnow, trout in 70'FOW suspended at 40'FOW, walleyes on the flats near to the deeper water at 30'FOW.

 

Got about 10 walleye in all, not one under 24" with one at 30'+ inches and my new PB by .25" at a not too shabby 32.5"!

 

Great 4 hours on the water!

Getting 10lb+ walleye on very light tackle with nothing more than a 3/8 Oz jig is addictive, might just have to sneak back there this afternoon.

 

 

Tight lines all.

Limer.......VERY nice fish.......on the flats you say....they could be moving to those fall transition areas where mud meets rock and none or not much change in depth...this has been a good pattern for me for years on inland lakes in the fall....but it's still a hot summer pattern down here.

Awesome!

Awesome Simon, always love watching your videos ... always wondered how you have your camera mounted to the fishing rod ?

It would boggle your mind!

 

When I had the pleasure of fishing Rainy with Simon, he was literally holding the camera in place with his hand holding the rod! Not sure if hes since upgraded? But yeah, I was shocked to see how well he filmed these videos while landing fish! Plus its a sweet angle

I'll never understand this either.

Thanks for sharing the video, it was a nice way to end the week!

Those are world class walleye by anybody's standards, Simon. Congrats to you, you certainly put in the time. Thanks for sharing your story, pics and video. They're great!

Awesome congrats on a wicked night simon

[spincast]

Nice shooting Simon ! Congrats on the PB (but I still think you're a witch - you have to be charm those beauties day after day ). Must have been the graveyard shift was it? either that or the midnight sun still shines bright?

Thanks !

 

 

HECK YES!!!

Way to go on the PB

 

I went back last night....bit of a wash out by comparison...a 27" and a 25" for the 2 guests i had in the boat while i had to settle for a 16" and a 6"!

 

 

Limer.......VERY nice fish.......on the flats you say....they could be moving to those fall transition areas where mud meets rock and none or not much change in depth...this has been a good pattern for me for years on inland lakes in the fall....but it's still a hot summer pattern down here.

 

Its been a cold August after a unusually hot, dry summer but despite the whacky weather they are pretty much where they were last year on this lake.

 

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks...it was a memorable session for sure.

 

Absolute MONSTER!!! Way to go and congrats!!!!

 

Thanks Cliff!

 

 

Nice! They look like they grow up fast in that lake. Good looking fish.

 

I doubt they do grow fast...its pretty cold up here so they grow slow....i will say this though...they aint growing fast but they eat well!

 

 

man o man!

 

Beauty fish! Gonna be tough to beat that PB, so yeah, get out there again today and start trying!

 

 

Yup, next bechmark is to beat 33".....might be a while, but i'll just soldier on...its a tough job but somebody has to do it.

 

 

Wow....

Now thats some great fishing!

Huge eyes man!!

Awesome way to end the week....the bozo was lucky my buddy Cliff was not with me....he fires large musky lures at encroaching boats!

 

 

Those are world class walleye by anybody's standards, Simon. Congrats to you, you certainly put in the time. Thanks for sharing your story, pics and video. They're great!

 

Thanks Roy.....definitely glad i have pics and vids of this for wheni'm older to share around the campfire on my hologram device!
