first legal walleye of the fall!

[mtnman]

We went out all day yesterday and had a pretty ruff day loosing fish after fish. Between tthe 3 of us we lost about 7 fish and I was the only one lucky enough to land one. I had 2 muskie on, one broke my line and the other just had my bait in his mout and no hook. When I reeled it all the way in all I had was a head of my chub. I did manage to land the only walleye of the day. It was 29 inches long with a 17 in girth and it weighed 9lbs. She was a fat one! Heres a couple pictures.

Wow, That sure is a nice eye'! Way to go! That sure would make for some tasty eatin's! :mrgreen:

Good job man! Nice eye! =D>

 

[mtnman]

Thanks guys! I bet it will be tasty but I gave it to my buddie because his mother and grandmother loves walleye and I wasnt feeling real well and wasnt in the mood to felet up a fish. He said he got enough felets off of it for the 3 of them to have a good dinner. It went to a good cause. They are great people.

Nice walleye mtnman. Those walleye you catch up that way are always superfat, and long. Can't wait to start seeing those ski reports.
