Well I was out fishing today (like every weekend) and I chase walleye 75% of the time, but the weather took a turn for the worse and ended up blue skies and flat calm. Decided to give the bass a go. I was throwing a jerk bait over weed beds when I came to a point. The point was 2.5 to 3ft deep and I just kept casting, catching bass and pike almost every cast. Well in a cast into 3 feet of water as I worked it back and was about 10ft from the boat I had a mid 20s walleye slowly following it right up to the edge of the boat! I’ve never seen a walleye do that before. Let alone hang out in 3 feet of water on a flat calm sunny and HOT day.
Second and weirdest was from a pike. I made a cast, worked the jerkbait back at a medium pace, then 10 feet from the boat bam a pike smoked it. I laid into it and the fish gave me 3 big head shakes and the jerkbait popped out and floated up to the surface, and I still had the fish! Turns out he had ahold of my snap swivel and somehow managed to unsnap it and shake the jerkbait off. Pretty stoked he didn’t get my crank I scooped it up with the net, retied my snap on to fresh line, made a cast and bam bit off by another pike. So that was the end of that spot lol
