Re: Daylight Walleye
 
First trip success!

Marked fish and bait on deep boulders but no takers. Ended up blind jigging a deep, featureless flat (50+ft) and for w/e reason those guys were chewing.

Had 5 bites, landed 3, nothing of size but the biggest one (19/20") spat out its swim bladder...and she came home with me. Easily the tastiest freshwater fish I've had, maybe tied with yellow perch?

Anyway, thanks for the tips guys, they were definitely tight to bottom!

Nice video roger. I'm tempted to take a walleye one of these days. I dont fancy sweetwater fish much as table fare. This may enlighten me to take a 18-20" fish. Ample meat from the looks of it...
