First 'eye of the fall

After a string of less than memorable night outings, where I was lucky if I landed 1 or 2 bass, I finally had a good one a couple of nights ago.  I landed 8 bass to 3 lbs, and then, when I saw/heard a boil about 30' off the shoreline, I threw the Slammer at it, cranked it down, and was rewarded with my first walleye of the fall.  Not a giant (about 22"), but definitely welcome.  There'll be more trips in the near future for sure!

Nice 1 doc! Hope she made it to the fryer,, I see a couple lbs of sweet breaded white flakey heavenly goodness stuck to ur slammer there...

Still hoping to run into my first AZ walleye....

She did not make it to the fryer - the walleye in this lake are hot with mercury.  It's all C&R for me there - I don't want to have my kids grow an extra arm and I don't need any more brain damage than a love of barley pop has already given me.

Walleye are some of my favorite fish to catch.  Do you catch them often on Slammers?

Not very often - I had one night last fall when I had 3 in a short period, and then no others on the Slammer.  The one I mentioned above hit a cranked Slammer - didn't kill it on top.  I have spent 100s of hours throwing Slammers in lakes with 'eyes, and other than those two incidents, I've never hooked an 'eye on them.  I have taken a couple of 'eyes on floating 8" BBZs and 8" Hudds, but the majority of my big 'eyes are on the ROF5 Hudd.
