Yes that is right I landeded a 25lb fish on Saturday with my lovely wife helping at all costs! So it was a CARP! It was still owwww sooo sweeet!
We did our fare share on the walleys also! Same thing for me with Chartruse being the dominant color matched with leeches. Caught only one eye on a crawler.
They are fun aren’t they…
Gonna haver smoked?
Nice lips on that baby! 
It puckered up for a kiss 
Thats one big big Buffalo Fish… 
Looks like a buffalo to me! Carp have little barbels around their mouths.
Yes it is a buffalo fish. 
Sorry but I just dont catch one every day.
Come to think of it I dont catch 25lb fish every day either! 
It was still a blast and it gives us all something to talk about. 
Nice fish Shannon.
Man I misis fishing that lake. What areas (rock, sand gravel) and depths have you been finding your eyes??? Rigging Leeches, jigging or pulling spinners???
I hope to get up there soon. 
Heck ya! That would have been a hoot! Congrats, by the way

He mainly Hammers the Eyes with brass and chartruse spinners “backwards spinners” with leaches and crawlers.
Of course being on BS it’s under 10 feet pretty much all year, weedlines, rock piles, you name it he catches Eyes. 
No joking SandBurr is the king of BS and catching Walleyes day in and day out nobody can touch him. 
He is branching out to other species quite a bit lately…..
I am still pulling my hand tied lindys in the 8-10 foot length. Chartruse and Hammered brass are the go to colors. At the moment leeches have been the ticket.
About the same time last year they switched over to crawlers but that has not happened as of yet but it will and I will be waiting.
I am fishing Sand and Rocks all between the weedline and 8ft and if your not on the windy side of the shore your not catching.
Thanks PB & SB. Might make it up Tuesday night for some at Banns or the Pier. You guys going to be around???
Pier, is this not your reunion of THE Red Bull Jaegemeister night
Here come the tears!
Just as mineral man from My fishing pals said old record and still record is 20lb even.
I had it crushed….. 
Every mans dream……
Well I think this picture says it all!
I released the state record!
Who wants to meet at the dock at Eagle Point with some crawlers! 
Unreal SB…..

Yag Bombs Rule…. ….until 5 am when your still awake and spinning in bed thinking 911 may be a good option……
Nice bowfin! One of my favorite fish to catch!
Pier, those Jag-bombs are dangerous–especially for a guy your age

On Sand Burr’s advice, we were pulling chartreuse and hammered brass spinner rigs last week tipped with leeches. The fish came in 8-10 ft along wind-swept structure…rock, weeds, sunken reefs…did not matter.
You end up sorting through a lot of hammer-handle northerns to get to the walleyes though.
Glad to see you were able to land a few!
Did you notice how a little bit of wind can really increase your fishing odds with the walleyes?
No wind…no fish. Simple as that.
One of the mornings we were out it was absolutely flat calm. We couldn’t buy a bite.
Late in the day the wind picked up and we caught fish…a lot of them.
