Thank you, Crappeeeman, for letting me fish with you again. I have checked my posts from 2021 and it is almost 11 months since we fished the first time and then I caught my PB muskie.
I did want to try full moon fishing this week, but most likely I would not go if I had to drag the boat for a couple of hours, launch it at sunset and then take it out in the middle of the night.
The forecast was good, initially a bit windy and not from the direction we wanted. The fishing was slow, not what we expected, but I was happy and enjoyed the company and the process. Lots of stories and some tips.
Nothing was coming when casting out to deeper water and I began to check shallow areas on both sides. One side produced a 13.25" crappie on a jig head under a bobber with a plastic leech.
Later on the other side I found lots of rock bass and was hoping there were few crappie. Then I switched to a Livetarget Sunfish Flat-Side Squarebill crank and on consecutive casts caught two walleye. We estimated the first to be around 26, just made a photo. The second was around 21". Then nothing for about an hour and I went home around 2AM. Would stay longer if I did not have to work today.

Yes it was a great night. I measured your 21 inch walleye. No idea why I forgot to measure the big one after taking the picture. It was definitely 26 if not a bit more. Should have taken a picture of you holding that big crappie as well. I wonder when and where your next PB fish will be. Going to sleep now fished until the sun came up today. I will post pictures later.

Back to back big walleye was awesome. After netting the first one and rinsing the net off I picked up my rod and casted into the water. Then I heard.....GOT ANOTHER ONE....Love when that happens.

And you said something like "Sorry man, but I am busy!", but still helped me to net it. I thought later hopefully I would not catch three in a row

Ha Ha that's funny. I usually say net the fish yourself to people. LOL. Three in a row, four in a row, the more the better. Sometimes when I take a few people fishing I am just the net man or busy putting on minnows for them etc. Fishing is great, even when you are not fishing.
