    Great time out there…been a couple years since I participated but it’s always a good time.

    I’m surprised we took second place with 99”…as Buschman said there are a ton of nice 17-20” fish but the bigs have had lockjaw recently. I’ll bet as the water cools the feed bag comes on.

    Thanks Mike and John…appreciate you guys putting on the event.

    Thanks Mike and Jon for running the contest and thanks to the sponsors for the door prizes. We caught about 15 walleye total. We trolled some sand and rocks and also pitched cranks and plastics on wing dams.

    While my partners were pitching cranks on the wing dams, I was pitching Dubuque rigs with a jig and plastic for the dropper and a sucker minnow or stick bait on the trailer. I never caught a fish on the trailer all day. But typically during the summer months when I’m using a crawler or leech on the trailer, that’s where I catch 75% of my fish. My partners out fished me 2:1 or better using cranks.

    Here are our pics. The 26” was definitely on its way out. Check out those crazy bulging eyeballs. We caught quite a few 17-18” fish. Between that and all the bait I have to believe the river is in great shape right now!

    Great contest guys. Was thinking whoever got lucky enough to find a big fish sure had a shot at winning the contest. Three way tie for third was interesting to. Good job on the win.

    I’ll be there! I’m as of now doing it alone but it’s very (hopefully) possible I’ll have someone else to fish with.
