Anytime you can nail a walleye like that, it is a good day. Well done.

Got out this morning for a few hours. 6 Walleye and a Whitebass. Biggest Walleye 25” weighed 4.5-lbs. My freezer is looking good.

We where down on Erie this past Thursday, out of Port Burwell - Ontario. We boated 8 walleye, 1 Rainbow, 1 Silver Bass, and 3 farm creatures , lost another Bow and a couple walleye during the 5 hours on the water.

Speaking of invasive species,has anyone had any problems with Snakehead fish? I hear that they basically are in southeastern waters but have heard of a few being caught up north as far as Maine.
