Three Walleyes

[yaknar]

I got out on the river last week. I dont need to say it was low and slow, more walking then I normally do.  It was a little cool in the morning so I wimped out and wore my waders. The river started out a little foggy and at one place a mossy back turtle came over to the kayak to say hey. I caught fish, but I didn't catch any goggle eyes, strange. So all I caught were bass and 3 walleyes. Three walleyes on one trip is a record for me. All of the walleyes were caught on a 1/8 oz black lure. As I was taking a picture of one, it fell between my legs, even without waders I don't think they bit anything but fingers , do they? Great day on the river, I had it all to myself. Took pictures of a few and released them all...

That is a beautiful smallmouth.

Good on you for the walleye triple.

Rps, trythisonemv thanks for the comments. Dan nice to meet you on the river yesterday. Here are a couple of walleyes I caught last week down stream from Delaware. I also caught a handful of smalls and goggle eyes…..

I fish the James in the summer, not as much now as in the past. Never fished up in the area you are. Usually goff creek area on down. Have caught a few walleye but a rare occurrence. so it's either the area your'e fishing or were doing totally different techniques. I'd say the former. hope you have continued success

Thanks for the comment curtisce. A week before the walleyes, I caught this “ugly walleye”. I have only caught two of these before. Usually they either throw the lure out or when they come along the kayak their snout hit the side of the kayak and it’s knocks the lure out, so I bailed out and walked it to the bank. I keep my camera, cell phone, around my neck and thought I should take a quick video before I lost it. Camera in one hand , rod in the other.crazy…
