I spent the day fishing with two of my buddies, Glenn and Jim, on Potholes. We drove from Spokane and were on the water by 0730. It took till late afternoon but we ground out a 24 fish limit of eyes with the largest at just over 23" and the average size of 19-21". Our total catch of eyes for the day was about 37 with a dozen or so jumbo perch to add to the stew pot. I am not going to say how we were so successful, those two would not be happy. We set a pattern after about an hour and a half of messing around and that pattern lasted all day, although we did move around a lot. Sometimes we were near the herd of other boats and sometimes not. I did take one for team, I ended up with a treble hook in my face near the jaw line while netting one of my buddies walleye. The fish ended up in the boat and all it took was a little yank to get the barb out. Last year I got a black eye from a jig in the face and I am sure that will not be the last hook I have to remove from some place on my body.
