Where to look for a giant?


Recommended Posts

I'd like to add another somewhat local area to catch a giant to the list- Red River of the North (Winnipeg). Hook up with Stu McKay of Cat's on the Red and you'll have a very, very good shot at one of those beautiful 10-14lb Greenback Walleyes that live up there. Or wait and try it through the ice!

Another option would be Big & Little Bays de Noc (Lake Michigan), and I also like the Fox River mentioned earlier as well.

We really have a lot of options close to home here, ya just have to stop fishing the lakes. grin.gif

Mille Lacs might just be last on my list for something over 30", but first for something between 26-28". grin.gif

I think the guy's messed in the head and looking for a little publicity. The people I know that fish a lot can tell the difference between an 18" walleye and a 19" walleye. Granted, we catch a lot more 18" and 19" walleyes but who can't tell the difference between 11.5# and 25#. Which of these vehicles is bigger, the Suburban or the Volkswagon? HMMMM, can I think about it for a minute?


Bingo, we have a winner.

Dont know if these places have been listed, but besides the well known Columbia River... I would have to lean towards Tobin Lake Saskatchewan or the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario.. You can definately strike it rich in these places for sure!!!

    • 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.
