    Well guys and gals there is a time in a person’s life when the star’s come together and the fish gods finally let you land a nice one! I landed a personal best this weekend in the Palisade area with a 29” walleye. I have also decided to finally put one on the wall. Even though this one is a bit skinny the fishing company was at its finest! I had the fine opportunity to have my oldest son net him while my long time fishing partner held the light. When the fish finally surfaced you could of heard a pin drop in our boat. When the fish hit the floor of the boat it sounded and looked a lot like Chuck Liddell winning over Randy Cloture! I can tell you it was one of 7 beautiful fish landed that night. 29, 24, 19, 17, 16,16 and 15. I think we could of stayed longer but we did not have a camera in the boat so we headed back for a photo session. We are still using plastics trolling 1.2 to 1.5 mph and good boat control. I can not say it enough how important it is to know your GPS and locator. On a side not after a good fish fight and celebration at night you might just look up and be lost!

    Nice EYE! Would you mind sharing where near Palisade you were when you caught that monster?? We have a cabin on the Mississippi right outside of Palisade… We’re going up there on Thursday afternoon and I certainly wouldn’t mind trying to get something like that for myself.

    I wish I could Rochelle but I must protect the smaller waters up there from being over fished. Nothing against you or anyone on the site. There is a slot limit that will most likely go into effect on Big Sandy and that will set people out looking for greener pastures next year.

    Sand Burr,

    I appreciate your response. I have been fishing that area for 35 years and have seen first hand what can happen to a smaller body of water when the word “gets out” on the internet. I think sharing reports and methods is great, but we all need to help protect the resource, especially the smaller lakes and rivers.
