Still on!

I have to say, "thanks!" to Nig for waking me up last night when he heard the rattle reel.  On the end of that rattle reel was this 27 1/2" Lake Minnetonka "super fatty" walleye.  As Pete would say, "It's a heavy lifter!".  It is the largest walleye I have caught this winter!  It was a great fight and I put her back to swim and fight another day. 

Had a great day yesterday on Lake Minntonka with Nig, Pete, Tina, Eddie, Scott, Todd, Morgan, and Katie.  We started the day pike fishing and finished with some strong walleye fishing.  Eddie was able to catch one nice northern pike, and I lost one.  Pete and Tina arrived with food and beverages for the day and we made a great afternoon out of watching football and fishing.  As the sun went down we switched over to walleye fishing and the bite was on.

We were able to catch 8 walleyes.  This was one of two 20" fish we ice'd at sun down.  This fish fell victim to a Northland buckshot spoon tipped with a minnow head.  Nig and I stayed over night and caught some more great walleyes on the rattle reels with shiners. 

This was Nig's second walleye of the night and measured 20". 

Thanks to everyone that took part in yesterday's adventure.  It was a great day and a lot of fun.  Look forward to many more soon.  Until then, Fish On!  More pics and stories coming very soon.......
