Finally got out fishing today. What a beautiful morning! We used to be out at 6am but now we aim for 7 am. We were on time. It does help that we are 5 minutes away from Hooverville Landing and we can be on the water within about 15 minutes from leaving home. It was slow going today. We only got 3 small ones plus the one I caught!!!!!
I thought I had snagged until I felt movement. Holy Moly! I knew it was massive. It pulled drag and thank goodness I had checked mine earlier at Rejean’s suggestion. I thought it was a big pike and I was hoping it didn’t get off. But I finally got her to the surface and Lo and behold, it was a walleye!! A huge one. It measured 30 inches long and the stupid weigh scale didn’t work. But we thought 7-8 pounds. We got some pictures and got her right back in the water. Rejean held her tail as he slowly moved her back and forth waiting for her to get her bearings. And with a splash of her tail, she was gone. What a thrill!! The biggest walleye I have ever caught and probably ever will. She was a fish of a life time I am sure. And I still had my worm!!!
Ps. Look at Rick’s smile in the first picture. He is happy to be going fishing finally.
