Saturday's off the cuff trip with a friend got cancelled due to unexpected dinner guests. I told him I would make it up with a short Sunday evening trip.
We had been fishing about an hour when I set the hook into a nice fish. After my buddy stowed the rod he was holding I shoved the rod into his hands and told him to "have at it!"
About 3/4 through the fight a walleye fisherman drifts past and soon yells "hey, I think I snagged your fish!" I told him we were kinda tied up, if he could be patient, hopefully we could get his rig. About 5 minutes later we guide the fish into the net, remove the harness/bottom bouncer from the side fin and thank the guy for being patient.
We let the fish rest in the net then cleared the decks for pics and measurement. She was 63"! Largest hauled over the side of that little boat so far.
At 9:30 I get another nice strike and after a nice fight land a 40" fish that is tagged!! Second of the fish I've landed on the second trip of the season for me and both wore a tag!
Finished the night with a 22" walleye and 20" channel cat for the table.
Dragged butt at work today, but would do it again in a heart beat! (will try to post pics soon)
