The Walleye They Are A Bitin

[polock]

wow it has been forever since my last post on here.. been traveling the country and haven't had much time to fish. Just left northern maine after a 3 month stay and much to my dismay their fishing season on open waters closed the week i got there.. thats the only bad thing about being a traveling cat scan tech.. not all places have ideal fishing laws ... so the first thing i did when i got back to the state is got the boat, trapped some big minners and it the water..

here's a pic of my biggest.. came up to be just a bit over 8lb's and around 30" long. the lil one was just a bit over 2lb's and is the size i am used to catching down here... this big one is the biggest walleye i have caught in my life on current river

Polock.I also am impressed,a picture of a big Walleye is worth MORE than a thousand words.

I would bet those minnows were big creek chubs,right?

Good job.

yeah tightline we have a friend that keeps a few hundred big creek slicks and horn heads in tank at his house.. he gave us about 2 dozen around 5-7" long and we went out on the current about 10 miles above the arkansas border. tried several slow deep holes and got a few bites then tried a faster current hole about 8-10' deep... the lil 2 lber hit my minnow like a early summer bass hitting a topwater, before my sinker touched the bottom.. got em in the boat and threw back out and within 30 seconds the big one hit... after that they were done in that hole and we moved on.. only 2 fish of the day. but well worth it
