It’s sure hard to be turkey hunting when the walleyes are biting like they have the last few days. With the last week of warm weather the water temp came up and the walleyes became really active up in shallow water. The last few days we have hardly kept any fish because they have all been over that 18-19 inch mark.
Boy is it fun when almost ever fish you catch is over 20 inches. We caught them casting and trolling. The biggest one was just a bit over 7 pounds and that one has a little story behind it. I hooked into it and just figured it was another 20 incher. My dad grabbed the net and was waiting for the fish to come to the top. When it did he dipped the net into the water and when he came up with it the head of the walleye was not totally in the net and it flopped out!
I thought for sure that fish was gone. Either my line would break or the hook would come out. But luckly the second try he managed to net it with no problems. His face was priceless when it came out of the net. We laughed the whole way home.
This first picture you can see him in the backround with a goofy face saying… “Man… Look I’m still shaking from that!”
Fun day on the Water!
