Trout Commander Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Nice first fish! And I wouldn't worry about it not being as big as some of the pictures on here. It would be a real bummer if the first fish of a certain species you caught was the biggest you ever caught and you never got to catch a bigger one. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
rps Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Good for you! Anymore, during the summer I fish the morning topwater bite for bass and switch to walleye. From now until summer I will spend about half my days on the water solely seeking the walleye. They are amazing fish.
rangerman Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Walleye are the only fish I NEVER get tired of seeing come in. Bass just do anything for me (thats just me) no matter how small or large, except for smallies. Luv 'em. Walleye are just a kind of mysterious fish.
Members flounder pounder Posted March 17, 2011 Members Posted March 17, 2011 Great fish Dapper Dan!!! I hope I can post a topic titled "My first eye". Jeff "I feel sorry for people who dont drink! When they wake up, thats the best they are going to feel all day!"
Paco Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Great first walleye, with many more out there just awaiting for that little purple swim'n minnow to swim by... My First was June, 1967 on a 7 inch floating rapala waited down with 2 dogeared sinker on a old Pflueger reel with black braid line on a 6 ft Heddon Pal rod. I was fishing out of a 24 ft. MonArk boat pushed by a 6 hp. Johnson with a tackle box full of shear pins to get me back up to Powder Mill on Current River. Back then we didn't fish for walleyes but for Jacks or Jack Salmons. Most of the old timers still go Jack Fishing down around Eminence, Ellington, Van Buren, Fremont, and Winona.

Funny thing, caught my first one on a "puke" "gitzit" at the backwater slough at the square turn south of Van Buren. Paco, I bet you know where that it is. Had a BEARS superbowl hat on in the picture. Paco - you may have missed you calling. Short sports stories in the News Leader could be your new proffesion. B. Foz

Paco Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Hey Dapper, U R now on a long and narrow road with NO END..... With the now full moon, you might try going to Forsyth and fish up by the Dam on the River Run Side, there has been many a monster caught up there, slow roll a Rouge or a swim'n minnow (purple) from the bank. GOOD Luck and HOLD ON.....
