What a great night to be on the river!
Not much of a breeze with a bit of fall in the air! Sweatshirts and light jackets kept a person comfortable tonight.
The water temp was about 62 degrees and the location we fished tonight really didn’t have much flow at all. Any type of breeze pushed the boat up stream and in a couple locations, we ended up using a back anchor.
Tonight I had two great guys in the boat with me, Jessy and John. John just finished fishing the FLW Tour and had many good, humorous stories to tell about his adventures with the Pros. He said he learned a bunch about fishing for eyes.
I’ll I know about Jessy is that he like catching fish by bridges.
Our first fish came on Jessy’s side of the boat. I heard the line out alarm and side here we go Jessy! Jessy picked up the rod and after a minute or so said…”all I feel is the bullhead”. I thought that was odd…but once in a while a bully will take out some line. When I saw the PowerPro closer to the boat than it was originally… I figured I better recast and check the bullhead too. As I started to reel, two other rods started bending and we heard sounds of the clickers. Without feeling it, I knew there was a fish on the other end and it swam across the other two lines.
Jessy reeled in the 25+ walleye along with two other lines.
So that was the quote of the night…“It Felt Like A Bullhead”.
Here’s a pick of the walleye release.
