went out sunday for a few hours draggin jigs and leaches and crawlers and plastics , caught 3 walleye 14 to 17 inch range and a couple sauger all the fish except 2 came off live bait including a 29.75 inch 10 lb 2oz fat fish ! .Thanks for the report john , we did what you and jigfan were talkin about and looked for the bait and it paid off a real nice fish! we revived him and left him there 4 ya.
Nice hawg you got there. 
Nice fish. Looks like she has been eating plenty of that bait.
Very nice fish 
It is sure fun when the dragging bite is going!
Great fish!
What a great reward for a job well done.
Wow she is nice. 
That water sure is muddy it is a wonder that she found your hook, congratulations…
Nice fish Todd! What, no lead core?
Awesome fish Todd! Great job finding and catching her, and especially on the release!
If I may ask, how deep was she? Most of our bigger fish have been in less than 10′ of water. Many in less than 2′!
Now I really wish I’d been out fishin’ last weekend instead of working. 
Nice fish.
Congrats
Nice fatty! 
Nice fish Todd!! Only problem is I’m getting a headache trying to figure out where you were, based on the background in the picture!! 
I’ve got a fellow IDO’er coming down to try Pool 14 with me the next couple days. A couple fatties like that, would sure make for a good trip! You guy’s have got my hopes up!!!
Very nice fish Todd! I do thank you for letting her grow . The bite has been a little spotty for me the last few evenings. You are giving me hope that some of the big girls did avoid the commercial nets. I am heading to Pool 4 Saturday for vacation so I won’t see you out there. Good luck ! 
about 4 ft john
I knew it, with the water clarity still so up and down,(mostly down) I think the shallow draggin bite is just gonna get better. Did you happen to get any measurements on her girth? That girl had some shoulders!
no measerments, was time to get her back in.on the clarity john we found a spot that had about 2inches more than most places we had been and thats where we found fish.we fished shallow and deep that day they were shallow but yes the water was very dirty, probaly why
