Members Col Ron Posted June 4, 2016 Members Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just thought I would add a little optimism to a slow start for the walleye season. I, like most of you, was expecting a great spring with the consistently normal water level for a change. That didn't happen. The good news is they are finally starting to feed. I got this girl in 33 feet of water. Bouncing a crawler. Unfortunately, one of her gill plates broke where the hook was lodged. There was no way she would have made it-died in the live well. Hopefully, things will start to really pick up with next weeks warm weather. james, Ron Burgundy, Mitch f and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Very nice. I don't think I have caught one that large. I think 26 inches is my largest so far.

rps Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Any fish in the 8 pound range is worth talking about. Well done, Ron. Col Ron and mixermarkb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
