    I have good story about ” the big one that I guided for my wife”.We went to Red Wing fishing on Saturday. Michelle caught a

    monster walleye!

    It was 28 inches long. Quite a fish!. We were jigging below

    the dam and had very

    little success. I said we should move and Michelle said no

    as it was a quiet, peaceful

    spot. I said it was but we needed to move on as we were not

    catching any fish. She said we never do so that made me mad

    and off we went. we were trolling some

    RIP STICKs along the shore line and boom, I caught a 21 inch

    fish that went in the

    live well. I know a good spot went I see one so we made

    another pass, this time

    going up river. We got to the spot on the spot and Michelle

    said she had a rock

    (you know what’s coming now) I put the boat in neutral and

    knew we would drift back to the “rock”. She was not sure if

    it was a rock or a fish, but reeled very slowly.

    Just before this she had complained of the twisting of the

    rod. As she was reeling in

    the rock, the reel came off!!!! That was the twisting!!! She

    requested help and I, as the trusted guide, put the reel

    back on the rod. It is just a good thing the water was so

    dirty and I didn’t know what was on the end of the Rip

    Stick. If I had known

    the fish was a monster, who knows where the reel would have

    ended up. Once

    the reel was back in place the battle continued…..Michelle

    against the monster. She got the fish close and we got our

    first look at it. WOW WOW WOW, I have been

    fishing for many years and have never seen a walleye that

    big at the side of the boat.

    The fish made a few short runs, but was hooked so well, I

    attribute that to the guide,

    that it could not escape. I swooped down on the fish with

    the net and it was in the boat. We both just stared at the

    creature for the deep. I had never been on a boat

    with such a beautiful, big, walleye. The eyes on that fish

    were as big as a half dollar.

    Michelle wanted to mount it, but, I told her that we will

    get a bigger one on the next pass and to be patient!!!!!

    That’s really isn’t what a said but it sounds good. We got a

    few pics and release the Queen to fight another day. My wife

    catching this fish is a good thing, now I have a better

    excuse to go fishing! But, there is no way I am taking that

    woman deer hunting, last year I was graced with an 8 point

    buck and a

    spiker on the same drive!!!!!!
