Well it finally happened! We got a Walleye big enough to put back. My buddy Wes got a 25 incher above Porcupine Thursday morning. Didn't have a scale but we were guessing around 5 pounds. Other than that the Walleye fishing was pretty much a bust for us. We cleaned 3 small eaters. We caught 6 Rainbow while we we cruising around mostly on spinner rigs behind bottom bouncers. So it was a slow day but it was just great to be back out on the water. I have been on the injured reserve list since early June with a broken right shoulder and it was just great to be able to hold a rod again. It was a hot day and we didn't get a particularly early start so I felt pretty good about our catch. Think if we would had actually been targeting Rainbow we would have limited out earlier. Strange as it may sound someone actually forgot to put the downriggers on the boat. Go figure.
My bad, the photo of the two walleye is from an earlier trip and I couldn't figure out how to remove after I put it in there by mistake.
