rocknfish9001 Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Alright, ill start from day one. I was walleye fishing, and i wasnt having any luck. I decided to hit up one last spot under a bridge on my way back. Within a few minutes i was awarded with a prime eating walleye, 17" Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Day 2, I take my buddy with me this time. Only he hooks into something, a decent 23.5" walleye, around 5 lbs. He flips out and wants it mounted. I thought he was crazy, since its only 5 lbs. Anyways, i managed a little walleye, 14" and under keeper size. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Now day 3 was my day. I decided to throw a little bit of everything i had in my box. Up to this point, all of our fish were on 4 and 5" grubs. I went through a bunch of stuff and came up with nothing. I decided to move. We went to the other side of the bridge, downstream. First cast with a silver/black huskey jerk, taptap, set the hook! I got a decent fish on my line, wait a minute, a BIG fish!! Too bad it didnt fight harder, but it was fun anyways. This is double my last pb walleye, which was 5 lbs. This one weighed in at 10 lbs. and at 29" Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Got another one after moving once again, this time about 6lbs and 26" Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 Great eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
KS_Bassin Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Those are some very nice looking walleyes great work. Have you been catching all your fish in the current or around bridge pilings or in the backwater areas? Quote
NATHAN_JAMES Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 rocknfish do you have any videos? You gotta post some videos, and i enjoy reading your commentaries. Your catching some great looking fish. Awesome!! Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 We would catch them in a slight but very noticeble current just outside of the pilings Quote
Vyron Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 1st the steelheads ,now the walleyes dude ur on roll!!!!!! whats next????? Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 a slight but very noticeble current That current probably deserves more respect. Current can be decieving. What looks like a slow mover can take the feet right out from under you. Careful, always give current 3x the respect you think it warrants. Great walleyes man!! I've never caught one,...too ugly for my sexy boat...lol (plus we don't have any in RI!) Great job, nice report. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 WOW! Congratulations, those are some fine walley. Quote
bassnleo Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Awesome fish! If you need any help eating them, drop me a line Quote
Super User Dan: Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 That fish would even make Al Lindner proud! ;D Quote

Ky_Lake_Dude Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Cool. I've never caught walleye but I know their here in Tennessee. Quote
fishingrulz Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Nice fish dude!!! They must be a freakin blast to catch. Quote
what Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 That fish would even make Al Lindner proud! ;D lol ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
boondocks Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I had to chuckle a little when you mentioned the ole black/silver husky jerk. When I put the waders on in the spring that is my go to bait for Missouri River walleyes up north. The cranks always catch the bigger fish when it comes to river walleyes. Nice Fish!!!!! You mounting that fish? Quote
Luv2Fish Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Great catch!!! I would like to go fishing for some walleye some day I havent ever cought one. I hear they are good eating. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 boondocks- The thing is, i know people who have caught 12 lb walleyes in the river, and as a matter of fact, sombody caught an 11 the same day i caught my 10. So im going to keep it in the freezer for a little while just to be sure i dont hook into a bigger while. A big walleye would be awesome on the wall Quote
tallydude Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Beautiful fish! I've never caught one (or eaten one for that matter). I gotta get up north this year. Quote
