Right on !!! Sorry I didn't see this great catch earlier.
-
I fixed an aluminum canoe with some stuff called NP2 you will find it at your local metal building supplier. I think it is the number one stuff to use. It is a lot like silicone, but very sticky like butyl. You might even be able to use it on the water but it needs to go on the outside. http://www.bestmaterials.com/np1.aspx

We should get together I will help you out, then you can maybe show me some crappie secrets
-
Don't forget the spoon, it works very well when properly used, you write well, loved it.

I read this same thing somewhere else. These fish are wonderfully odd, spawn like salmon, eat like bass. I guess they fill their own place well enough. I sure wish that they were better spawners. I guess you have experience, do you think these Stockton Lake walleye reproduce without moving water, or maybe they do just not many. What do you think bfishn?
-
I know you are right. I don't eat bass any more, friend , I was just being honest about my past. Thank you for being civil . I am picking up what you are putting down.

I have met him and fished an area of tablerock with him. He promptly caught a walleye and I got skunked. I should have stayed closer, you can bet if I get a chance again I will.
-
I would bet, he know more than all of us put together about a great many things. I hope to be able to spend more time with him, asap Have you heard any more from Whiteriver Lures ?

In my younger days I have eaten bass from the creeks, it has been years ago, they were good ! Now I never keep them, but if I know a fish is not going to make it, I will take it home and get some use out of it. I am not against tournaments, they bring many dollars to the communities around the lakes, but I have seen several bass floating after a weigh-in. I thought just take them and eat them. Anyway, thank you all for the info and encouragement it is wonderful.

Still a very large sauger !

Stockton, walleye white bass and crappies
dan hufferd replied to hooked on crappie's topic in Stockton Lake
Yes, if I can catch one anybody can. It's good ! -
Sauger over 5 pounds, you are the man...man !
-
Ask the guy who owns Southwinds Motel. I think he has it. I am sorry I cannot remember his name right now. Super nice guy !
-
Thanks for sharing that. It makes me hopeful. Did it come from Stockton? If it is local, that is the biggest that I have heard of, other than the state record.
-
Have you ever seen this company.
-
That thing is a beast ! I sure hope that there are some big ones still lurking out there. Most of the big walleye stories that I here are old. At least the frequently caught stories are. I do hear of the occasional large walleye, but not many. What a great bunch of information, that you all very much. I am soaking it up, hopefully it will lead to a big fish someday !
-
Man if that story doesn't make a guy want to chase a trophy walleye I don't know what would ! I feel like Indiana Jones looking for clues to the big treasure. You can bet I will be on the Kings river looking some time this year.
-
Man, that is sad ! At least you have a memory of him doing what he loved. Sound like a heck of a day ! About the one that got away... knowing how walleye swim, I can just imagine what that big fish looked like swimming away. Wow what a story !
-
I would have been sick for sure ! I probably would have went in after it !
-
That is why I like them, and they taste good. Either that or I will have to start eating bass. I drove through Billings today, The bill boards look good ! I told my wife I almost know that guy, but he won't go fishing with me, maybe someday.
-
Wow what lake, Stockton?
-
Thank you that sounds very agreeable to me. I guess wondering what to do with a big fish is a good problem to have. I do not have to worry about it yet, but just in case I wanted to be ready. Have you caught many over 26 around here lately?
-
Thanks, What do you think about this? I figure that there is a possibility of catching a large female full of eggs, maybe a wall hanger. For me that would be a fish near 30 inches, and 8 lbs + rare for Stockton but possible. So what does a guy do? Make a replica, and return the old mother to her home or just hang her on the wall? After a few years it seems like real wall mounts look bad, and video and pictures seem like a great way to remember. I am leaning toward C&R, but I feel like I would be letting a 30 point buck go by.
-
Thanks John, hopefully we can get together, I myself can only fish about one day a month right now. Work is a paradox for me....no work no lake fishing, too much work no lake fishing. I am thankful for my job ! I am excited to fish with you, it will be a blast !
-
Yes, just 2 more months, but I can not find my pic's of April so to make my story believable I have to get video of one for April too. It is cool following your target species around for a year. This is year number 2 for me. I did not get one last year in January. I am elated to say the least ! I did take this fish home even though she was full of eggs. I still feel kind of bad. I wonder how many actually reproduce in Stockton?
