Walleye


This beautiful 9 pound  6oz walleye was caught
in Freemont, Ohio  

It was a very nice day for fishing in late spring with temperature
in the mid 70's with sunshine by noon that eventful day

I was fishing a part of the river were the water was fast  
there was some breaks just about 3 yards down were I was casting my
1/3 oz silver and red tail jig and minnow.

As I cast my rig up stream and let it drift down toward the breaks
the walleye hit the jig and minnow, then the fight was on for almost a hour I battle the
this heavy weight what a fight she gave up, it will always be one of my best fights.

Using my shimano cx1000sq ultra light reel on a abu garcia 400 ultra light rod
as well as 6 pound line with a 20 pound  leader it was great fun.

This is the biggest walleye I have caught to date.

What a fish what a fish !
