Skinny 27" Walter from the other night. Storm with heavy winds rolling in from the North. Caught on an erratic ripping retrieve. Have been ripping up hard 3 ...more times, then adding a double rip at the top of the third. Every fish has hit a few feet under the surface after a double rip. Absolutely choked the bait, but was fine, and released unharmed. MH Varitas, Quantum Smoke, 14lb Suffix Elite.

Cold front and storms moving in from the north. 45 degrees and starting to rain. Usually I only seem to get the big bites right before dusk. Swallowed the lipless ...more crank bait on an erratic retrieve. Have been catching a lot of smaller fish on minnows and Swedish Pimples. A little over 27" and the skinniest fish of the year for me.

My new PB, and probably will be for awhile. Nearly 31" and the fattest walleye I have ever seen. Forgot the scale, any guess on weight? Caught it in 10-12', ...more ripping the bait up and down through the water column. All of a sudden I went to rip, and all I felt was dead weight. Landed it solo, without a net. Was one of the most nerve racking moments ever. MH Varitas, Quantum Smoke, 14lb Suffix Elite.

Second walleye from the best fishing day of life. All fish were caught and released mid last week. Got a 28.5", 29" and a 30"+. Big baits, fast and ...more erratic retrieve, cold front with thunderstorms. When the water is cooling, storms are coming in, a faster retrieve or "stop and go" retrieve is key for big fish. Heading out today to try to stick a few more big Walters. MH Varitas, Quantum Smoke

My PB out of the city lake for the year at 22.5", 7-3. She was nice and healthy, clearly has been feeling up for winter. I have been catching a lot of fish ...more on Squarebills and lipless cranks. In the shallows and off the rocks. This is the only bite I caught from deep water. Came off a tree in 10-12'. Was considerably larger than the fish that have moved shallow.

A cool shot of a 5+ I caught slowly working a chigger craw through deep structure. Hooked a big fish in the same spot a day before, but ended up breaking 30lb Power ...more Pro. Clipped off a decent amount of "faded" line, and went back out. This time she didn't get so lucky. Retrieved both hooks and let her swim to fight another day.

Went out looking for hybrids, or anything that would bite. It was the start of a cold front, with a storm rolling in. Heavy winds coming from the northeast. Was ...more hitting the wind blown shoreline with little success. Made my way into a cove, with scattered timber, and heavy weeds.

Some fish are starting to move shallow, but the deep timber bite is always on! A lot of the fish that have moved shallow are fairly small, with a 4lber mixed in. ...more All the 5lb + are in 6-12' in large trees. The bigger fish are in the sketchiest spots. The fish was lying under a large stump, that has cinder blocks and rebar at the base.30lb power pro, 6' 6" MH Varitas, Revo S40.
