Chemong crappie fishing surprise, Was not expecting this tonight

First off, trying to take a picture of your fish and you alone is not easy. But this fish was worth it. 25x15 inch walleye caught on an ultra light set up, with a six inch diameter hole.

That's huge nice pickerel.

Beauty walter bro... luv your hat btw !

Beauty eye! Congrats

I don't have any problems with it... Beauty eye for sure....

Yup, beauty rarity for Chemung.

But like the post above, where's the popcorn gif.....

Pm sent

I'm waiting as well, but if anyone would like to the 45 second video in which I pull the fish from my hole, take the hook out, hold it up, and release it, than fine by me. I try to make all my catch and release fish under a minute because a fish like this could be responsible for thousands of chemong walleye. The better I am to the fish I release the better chance I could catch that fish when it's bigger.

I don't see a photo did you remove it??

Tips on taking selfies when fishing alone. Most smart phone cameras have a delayed timer for taking photos. place the phone on a tackle box or chair, set the delay at 5-10 seconds, press the start button and hold the fish and pose for the camera.

Something I usually do is take a video, hold the fish up and than screenshot from the video. Lose quality a bit but a lot easier to get a good view
