You caught 5 walleye in one day

That's another fun story, we we fishing at a giant culvert the flowed into the Wisconsin River. Everyone was using minnows so we bought minnows. I murdered mine, I had no clue how to put them on a hook so I impaled them in the head. After an hour of fishing, my reel broke so I got in our Scout, drove into town an bought a new reel.

There were at least 20 people fishing the spot that day and even after my break, I caught 5 of the 9 walleye caught at that spot that day.

Beginner's luck? I don't think so. The pros didn't know that you had to murder the minnows before they can become effective bait. Thanks for listening guys, it's one of those memories that stand out in your life forever and is fun to share. I will thank my brother-in-law for his service on your behalf. He loves this country.

Jean I was talking to someone who used to live in Wisconsin the other day.

He goes back home periodically & fishes while there. He was telling me about walleye.

I’ve never had nor heard of them before that.

Are they a good fish?

Btw....I think you have a knack! LOL
