Congrats Jim that is a real beauty, most folks will not ever catch a walleye that big. 
We were out today after a long absence from open water. Alot has changed for our boat since last late fall for one the water clarity is unbelieveable, when my partner was reeling in a fish I wanted to net it as soon as I saw it but that was a problem becuse the fish was still about eight feet down. Today live bait was a must the old jig and minnow combo still has it’s time and place. My partner figured that one out after I had tried every size shape and color of plastics so I had a large helping of humble pie, not so bad every once and a while.
