Willard 5-16-14 10 pounder!

[ZATARRA]

Launched from the south marina at about 7:30am. Set up the trolling poles before we hit the red and green buoys. I am glad we did! Picked up a smb right after passing them. Headed towards the light pole and got our first walleye shortly after the smb. Then the big one! Just shy of 10 pounds!!! Pics below the boy really wanted to keep him but I told him he still needs to grow some more. Hooked up with another walleye. Then as I was switching over to the "wiper lures" a football sized wiper decided it wanted in on the action and latched on to the "walleye lure". I got to feel that hook up! I will never get tired of the fight wipers put up. Once we switched over the fish went along and we caught 6 cookie cutter wipers. All were sent back to grow bigger for next year. It was time to call it a morning and we were off the water by 11am. Overall a great morning with the boy and my dad.

If I were you I'd kill that carp and use it as catfish bait.

I have not gone after catfish yet. Still trying to get the wiper and walleye dialed in. I saw some big fish at the cleaning station. I definitely had fish envy. Are catfish good eating? If so I will have to start learning cat fishing methods.

YES - they are good eating. One of my top 5 fish for eating.[/size][/#800000][/font]

I was expecting to see a 10 pound walleye in the pics, not a carp. Maybe next time.

Now lets not go getting all religimous on stuff. Besides, who's Monson - is he a politician? [:p]

I'd have to add, with the right filet technique, the right prep technique, and the right coooking/spicing - YES YES YES.

Not like some bland ol' Walleye filets.

What ever type of fish I like to eat I just make fish tacos. Fillet them toss some seasoning and flower then put them in hot oil. Cat fish are really tasty [].

Lots-o-bugs if breeze dies down. Not bad, but pretty annoying keeping them or of bodily orifices.
