here are a couple of mine

27 incher from Insula.

Mooseplums circa 1991. Nice raingear, dude.

Not a lunker, but one of my favorite BWCA pics.

Nice little walleye from Insula...



Bruce

he's still swimming (as far as I know). Hand measured at just under 30"- big shoulders.

I must have been hungry...couldn't wait for the fried ones

The fish was big and I was small. 27" wood Lake.

Didn't measure any of our walruses. I would guess 4-5 lbs. tops the biggest out from Wood Lake. Sure was a great time though.

A Mille Lacs 27" (when I was thinner!)



Ready for the skillet



Nothing better than twins in the BW...

Welcome to the site JeepV8. That's one beauty of a Walleye!

Jordan caught this 26 incher in the Basswood river.




Nick caught these on Crooked.

Day 1, 3 casts, 3 fish, all 19-20in, 1 good meal! Storm front moves thru overnight and did not get a nibble the rest of my short 2.5 day trip on sawbill. The curse of the first cast!

This one won the Ely Echo catch and relaease contest in 2003. It was 32 inches.

30"-30.5" from 2007

After measuring the fish and snapping the pic I realized I started from the beginning of the flexible tape. The inch markers didn't start for another 1/2" down the tape.







Magic

QM, that fish looks like some mutant giant, unreal. Quite the catch.

Not that these are the greatest pictures photogenically speaking. But they do represent the "best" story of catching fish I have personally experienced.

Ice fishing with my brother Joel and some of his in laws a few years back. It was a small lake and slush & even standing water were a huge problem. In fact when augering a hole I fell as I pulled the auger up and water ran in over the top of my boot. Once we were setup & fishing,I pulled the boot liner & sock & began the process of trying to dry them out.

Fishing had been pretty slow when Joel finally got one on. He got a glimpse of it and yelled, "I'm definitely gonna want some help with this one!" I hopped up one barefoot & all to give him a hand. After a couple of runs he finally got it up. It was a very nice fish. I grabbed it but just as I was pulling it up it started violently flopping its tail. "DON'T DROP IT!!!!!" So I quickly stepped back right onto my boot that was on the floor. This caused me to lose my balance & I stepped right down one of my holes with my barefoot! But we saved the fish.

I was licking my wounds in the fishouse while Joel was outside strutting around telling the tale to his in-laws. When I heard a jig stick tapping on the wooden floor of the fish house. I set the hook. Fish on! Once I'd seen the fish I yelled for Joel to get back in here. Not quite as much drama pulling this one up as the first one but it was also over 30 inches. 2 trophy's in 10 minutes.

You can't tell it in the picture. But I'm barefooted. And that's why I'm still in the fishhouse for the picture. And moments after this there was a run back to my van to grab my extra boots and dry socks. Was never anything debilitating. But,it would be 2 months before I fully regained all feeling in the bottom of my right foot. :)



BTW both fish were released unharmed,
Wish I coulda said the same for me ;-)

Thanks, wish I could say I was fishing for walleye when I caught it. I was on a 13 day trip and this was the first afternoon out. Just set up camp and went trolling for Lake Trout in May. Thought for sure I had my biggest ever laker on when I was surprised to see it was a huge walleye. Caught it on a big gold husky jerk.
