Karma finally got even with this old boy today. Last fall, just about this time I had the biggest walleye of my life come right up between my legs, dangleing periously close to the end of my net before one big head shake out comes the jig and he was gone. Could have passed for this ones twin. My day was made 15 minutes into the trip when I stuck the biggest walleye of my life. Official score 29.5" and 9lbs 10oz. About ever 20 minutes I would look over the side and pull him to the surface and get a big old texas grin.
Did manage to fish a little more after the biggun. Not much to speak of, the occational tap tap, but nothing mentionable until about noon when I started graphing tons of fish moving along a drop off. Every other cast or so I would get a light tap, kept switching up colors until I hit the right one, then the whitties were on. Almost every cast for 5 minutes or so. Landed two 3 or 4 LDRs and several other hard hits. Then they just turned off, maybe could have done a little more damage had I found their color earlier, but oh well, I still had biggy leashed up and riding shot gun. A few white bass weren't going to make or break this trip.
