Thanks AM! For those of you that have never fished Devils Lake, it should be one of those spots you move up on your list. It has something for every fisherman. It is one of my favorite lakes to fish now.
You don’t have to feel bad for Pete Harsh. Losing fish like that is part of fishing Devils Lake. Big Walleye in thick cover, you have to consider yourself lucky if you get 1/2 of them in. The hardest part of losing them on Devils Lake is you can see them down there. I had 3 fish over 5 pounds tangled up on trees that we could see down there. Eventually they break off, occasionally work themselves free and RARELY, work out like what you saw on TV where Pete got the net around the fish and was able to tear the line.
But, again, Devils Lake is one of those fisheries you have to see to believe
