In a 14 ft aluminum, it was tough. But in the end we caught 7 walleye, and a pretty decent pike. All but one of the walleye were in slot size. The biggest, and first one that I caught weighed in at 5 lbs: my pb walleye so far! After that trip I can say that I'm hooked, quite a fun trip for me and I'm glad we stuck out the contidtions After this photo I realise that I close my eyes in almost every picture...

Thanks

My thoughts as well, I think it disrupts the sunlight enough so the walleye begin feeding. And no it was out of slot I believe.

Good job nice report! BTW I didn't catch a thing other than wind burn
