Fried Lemons Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Today seemed like the perfect day to go fish. Warm front, overcast, drizzly conditions. I found the river high and muddy so I wanted something that would put out a steady thump that the fish could track. Also needed a weedless bait because I was sinking the bait down into the rocks to escape the current. About an hour in I felt the signature thump I was hoping for. I have a pretty bad track record with beast hooks so I was extra careful to reel tight before swinging. I didn’t give these fish enough credit, the bait was completely engulfed.

CG_Fishes Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Walleye are dope, and that's a real good one at that, good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatKidInNY Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 That's a beautiful walleye! They tend to be a pretty passive aggressive fish, but it seems like they will gobble any swimbait in the 6-8in range. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishDr Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Sweet walleye! A fun fish to target with swimbaits for sure - they’ll definitely choke a big soft plastic swimbait. benczar94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benczar94 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I was just day dreaming of throwing some bigger weed less swimbaits for walleye this season! Great fish man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
