losing "Walter"

[reelemin]

What a perfect day to be out in the kayak fishing. Absolutly a beautiful day. Caught a few decent size sunnies, a very nice Lg mouth, then I decided to move across to another small bay, and then it began - a HUGE Hit, a dive and then GONE, about 20 minutes later - a HUGE Hit, gone in 2 sec, again about 1/2 hr later - a Huge Hit a short dive and maybe 7 sec, GONE. I lost "Walter" 3 times in an hour and a half !!!!

Pretty sure it was a pike - - a huge pike - -

Oh jeez Tami! That is such a bummer! I can't even imagine pulling a northern in from a kayak. That would be the ultimate adrenalin rush! At least you were out fishing and not working!

What's worse is when you get a very large walleye up to the boat and you realize you forgot the net and he breaks the line before you can have a chance to grab him. Although I don't know which is worse, to think it was a huge fish or to know it was. And no I still haven't gotten out yet. Life things seem to keep getting in the way.

Hey Tami, were you fishing local or up at your place up Nort? Sorry to hear about the 1 tug louie but that is what makes fishing so dang much fun isn't it? Good luck on your next outing. I am sure "Walter" will still be lurking in that new favorite spot of yours!

I was on a local lake here in the south burbs, and I will be out Walter hunting again tonight. He's lurking in the shallows by the catails, the water is only about about 2.5 ft deep and the bottom is very soft, but I've got his number I know where he's feeding and I know what he likes .. ( jaws music playing here ..... ) - He's mine -

Go get 'em Tami! I'll be out on Winni tomorrow and will post a report on Sunday or Monday! Hopefully I'll have a "walter" to brag about!
