Only got one but it was a biggin

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Only got one but it was a biggin

Post by Netman »

They say that fishing around the full moon period can yield the biggest catches. Well I'm beginning to believe it might be true.
After washing my jig for 2 hours tonight I was debating on pulling the plug and heading home. On one of the many "One more cast" I got a hit. Damn I missed it. Well it looks like like I'm staying a little bit longer :lol:
15 minutes later I feel another Thunk. I set the hook twice just to be sure I got it. This thing isn't moving. Then the head shakes started. Wow it's big. It barely fit into my basket net. After putting it on the scales I now have my personal best 12lbs of pure gold

Well rewarded for having to clear the guides of ice after every cast...

You da man!!! Congrats on your PB, what a fish and from shore to boot!!! As a fellow shore night walleye fisherman myself, I must say that I am VERY impressed with your remarkable shore walleye catches over the last few months.

Some guys on here will make their annual trip to Quinte to ice fish for giant 10-12 pounders.

Meanwhile, you're slaying giant walleyes from shore on the Larry in the middle of winter! Crazy, just crazy!!!
Walleye'm fishing, you're sleeping.
