Walleyes!!!


Recommended Posts

Can you say "Bechtold's Guide Service"? My word, Corey - do you ever sleep? laugh.gif Seems like you must be out a couple nights a week?! I think I'm gonna have to sneak over to your house and follow you to your magic spots sometime. grin.gif Great collection of pics and some beautiful fish. Keep 'em coming!

A comment on coloring: my experience has always been that the BWCA area 'eyes are all black/gold and never green like the central/southern MN 'eyes can be? Makes me wonder about the effects of water quality or compounds present in the water as well?

I took Cole(5) and Brooke(8) out for a little Walleye fishing. I outfitted the kids with Line Counter reels, Trolling rods, Fireline and Berkley Frenzy Deep Divers. We started trolling a break and found a small area that flattened out in 16' of water. I was making a slow "S" turn when I noticed Brooke's rod start bending back. She then said "Daddy, my rod is all shaky!". I told her to start reeling and that she had a fish on. She started reeling away and I noticed that she wasn't making too much ground on the fish. I checked her drag and it seemed fine so I let her continue knowing that it might be a good fish. After a few moments I noticed the fish was finally getting closer to the boat. Cole was in the back lookiing for the fish when he says "Brookie, you have a Walleye!". Sure enough, it was a Walleye and after the fish made a few runs under the boat Brooke managed to pull the fish to the net. I was mega-excited for Brooke and she soon realized how big her fish was. Cole showed Brooke how to hold the big Walleye but she was a little hesitant to do it that way so I let her cradle the fish while I snapped a few photo's before the release.

We didn't catch any more fish this night but it doesn't matter, we all have a memory that will last a lifetime.

Corey, Tell Brooke that I am way jeleous! What an awesome fish that young lady caught! The look on her face, in her eyes especially, is priceless! I am thinking that you might have her hooked! Take care and N Joy the time with the Kids././Jimbo

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
