I finally get to join the ranks of a decent fish. I pulled out a 28" on a lake by Lutsen pulling a tail dancer in the middle of the day. It sure felt good, this was also my largest walleye! I had 4 other guys in my boat when it hit, a little pressure to say the least. There are some great fish on this thread, congrats to all.

Wow, what a weekend! When the heat, wind and moon phase all add up to look good you gotta get out and FISH! My dad and I spent a night on the lake over the weekend and had a blast. We don't get to fish very often, so this weekend we got one night to hit the water. I had one of those "feelings" the fish were gonna bite. They did.

Not only did we catch some nice fish, but I was there to witness, help and photograph my dad land some of the biggest fish of his life....

This was the largest. 29.5" and it was released.

I got one too, but couldn't stack up to his big wallys.

Way to go dad! If it weren't for you to help set my addiction on fishing I don't know where I'd be. grin.gif

Congrats Chuck and Chuck's Dad. Now you're off the hook for not being around Friday night, Chuck. We had a blast. Couldn't get your wife to dance, though wink.gif

Have caught a ton of eyes this year so far and a 27 and 26 incher are the best. Was fishing at night alone with the 27 but heres a pict of the 26 I got this am. Been fishing alot of jigs and plastics but got this one on one of those red-tech hornet jigs with the little spinner on the back. A buddy in MN sent me some a few years back and I cant remember who makes them. Anyone???

So Joel, what's up with the avatar. Or should I say Chuck.

At any rate, here's my biggest this year. I caught by accident though. I was catfishing with Brian Klawitter and I caught this.

Caught my largest ever (28.25 inch) last weekend in a 120 acre lake near Ely, passing up my previous best by a quarter inch (avatar). Go figure, a walleye that nice shouldn't be in a lake that small.

Here are pics of my two biggest to date. Caught them on Sunday on Mille Lacs.

This one was just over 26".

This one was just shy of 27".

I've got a pretty good story that goes along with these fish, but I will post that later.

My wife has been schooling me recently (yes, I admit it smirk.gif) She caught a 31" and a 30" eye while on vacation recently. shocked.gif Here's the only pic of the 30" before our camera batteries went dead. I just happened to grab it out of the net for her, tried to give her the fish for a pic and it was "too big". LOL

The 31", we didn't have a camera along. DOH! mad.gif

Fish were released.

Hey guy's, Was fishing Rainy a couple of weeks ago and boated a few nice fish. Had a couple along from KC. She had never caught a walleye before and her first fish was a 27"er. Her second fish was a 28"er. Go figure!! My wife landed a beauty of a 26"er. I did just so happen to catch a couple of 29"ers about 15 minutes from each other. What a fantastic trip! The look on her face is the tell tale that say's it all!

My buddy Duayne from KC 25"er

    • 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.
