Walleyes of 2007

[toddb]

I have downriggers but only use them as a last resort. I will occasionally downrig when I have 3 or 4 in the boat, but I'm usually longlining big deep diving cranks around structure. The boys have been getting them pretty good in the basin with leadcore and downrigging also. Live bait on the rocks has been producing well too.

later,

"We're looking for fish pictures in good taste that encourage selective harvest principles so the dead fish rule is as follows: Fish pictures must be in the natural environment where the fish is caught that do not look frozen, stiff, bloodied or look like they were just poured out of a bucket, no alcohol beverage containers or cigarettes and no stringer or fish in a bucket pics. Fish Mount and live release tournament pictures are ok as well. All other dead fish pictures are not allowed.

Nice healthy fish

[Team Otter]

You're on a "30 roll". Not easy to do. Awesome!

[toddb]

Oops! I did it again on Fri. almost twice! A fat 31+"er and a 29.5. Both released to fight again.

[Team Otter]

It looks like something I should hop in and give a try some time. Maybe a trip exchange to Mille Lacs...

[LovenLifeGuy]

You must be getting sick of catching those fish! WOW

Even managed to "sneak in" the marker buoy in the background.

Nice looking fish!

It was a good fight!! I thought i was in the rocks at first but then the big mamma starting pulling!

Friday evening after some Crappie/Sunfish action I threw out some Berkley Frenzy's with some leadcore line and Cole caught this Walleye...

This fish was caught on the Perch colored deep diver and 3.5 colors of leadcore trolled at 2.2 mph.

Good fishing,

Cole dresses a lot like me when night fishing; hood up and a head lamp. I love it.

Nice fish Cole!

Thin, yes, but a 26.5" 'eye is still nothing to hang your head about. Great looking photo!

Hello Everyone!

As you can see, I will be a "first timer" to Leech Lake this weekend. My neighbor and I are staying at Grand Vu lodge on Pointe and I need some pointers...so to speak. Looks like the weather is going to be ideal as well(full moon next Wednesday!) I have read that the eyes have it right now and are doing well. It seems that where we are staying is a good bet for some nice fish. Can any Veteran of Leech give me some advice on night fishing Leech? Shallow weeds, dropoffs etc? I appreciate any and all help as I more excited about this coming week than anyone can imagine! I have worked for this opportunity for a long time and would like to make it a memorable one!

Thanks,

TC

Hi TC! Just wanted to say,

Welcome to FM! Keep us posted how you do on Leech! I've never fished her but I'm sure you'll get some good advice especially if you look in the Leech Lake/Longville/Hackensack forum.

The biggest of many from my Gull Lake trip this past week.

29.75", 11# GIANT

Awesome enough for a bonus photo

[Kyle Sandberg]

My dad's biggest of the year. A healthy 23"

And a twenty for me.

The fish were caught within 50 miles of the cities.
