2009 Walleye & Sauger Photos

Jessy didn’t post his best one…Righty tighty?

Here’s one caught by Erick Anderson last Friday. Said it was the best fighting fish he’s had in a long while.

AHEM!!!! KNOCK-KNOCK….

Tough crowd….

He didn’t really say it fought that hard either.

25.3/4″ 6.42 lbs walleye caught on Sunday 6/7/09 during the Walleye Searchers Tournament pulling lead on Lake Pepin. Thanks to my partner and guide for the day Mitch Mitties for putting me on this big girl and for the great net job.

This is the first walleye that I caught in my new Skeeter – 28 inches. You can read the report here: Mille Lacs Lake Walleye Fishing Crankbait Report

Here are a few from my boat this year!

Here are my biggest pool 14 male and female eyes. The 26″ male was caught late March, 28.5 in fat girl mid June. Oooops, looks like I also have my largest “Silver Bass” pic in here as well, 22#….Can you say sheepy king…..

Congrats Ryan

Looks like Jake finally quit hogging the spotlight

Here’s a few from this spring/summer.
biggest fish so far is a 27.

This 29″ walleye was caught by Don Birkholz and is his personal best walleye to date.
He caught it on Lake Wisconsin while trolling lead core from my boat on 4-26-09.

This big walleye, (dubbed the “Can Opener” by none other than BK himself) hit the tape at 30-1/2″ long and weighed 11-1/2lbs. Although I have caught two bigger walleyes, this is the biggest walleye I’ve ever caught from Lake Wisconsin.
She was released and with a little luck, I hope to see her picture again someday.

Another personal best caught by client Dan Kelly on 4-30-09 while trolling lead core. This big girl hit the tape right at 30″ and even though we never weighed her, I consider this fish to be the biggest walleye I’ve ever had in my boat. She was just a beast with a huge head and shoulders to match. This fish was released alive and well.

Caught this 28.5″ walleye trolling lead core on 5-1-09.

Client Pat Kelly caught this nice 27-1/2″ walleye while trolling lead core on Lake Wisconsin on the same day that his son caught that monster 30″ walleye pictured in the previous post.
