I only took one photo over the first few trips. The wind was awfully brisk, as you can tell from this photo.
We kept 8 fish over the first 3 outings. Here is the "meat hunter" shot of our dinner guests before going under the knife.
That's it for photo's until our last outing. We went out with a bang. I landed 4, and my dad landed 3.
I had no sooner said to my buddy "I've caught plenty of small ones, now I just wish I could get a biggun for a photo", when the big red bar showed up on the X67C. It took 5 minutes to finesse her to bite, and she came off with just her head sticking out of the hole, but I was instantly elbows deep and she was laying on the ice. I wasn't about to let my best fish fade into the depths.
11.5lbs
And here's my Dad and I with some 3-5 lbers which we kept for Jerky.
And what's a fatluke report with out some food porn.
Pan fried cheeks and fillets with basmati rice and broccery.
And a mountain of smoked Crown Royal & Maple Walleye Jerky. This stuff is to die for. The 3-5 lbers are ideal for this, as you can slice each fillet into three layers, 1/8-1/4" thick.
A closer look....
Looking forward to a few more trips down before my annual 4 or 5 day trip at the end of the season.
Cheers!
. These walleye fillet are shure look delicious.
