- Catch Story: A beautiful fall day fishing with my wife. It was about 10:00 A.M. and the bite was just picking up. I had just minutes before released a smaller walleye about a 2 pounder. I casted my line out in the very same spot and this one hit. When I set the hook I knew this one was bigger than the last one. It put up a good fight, my wife netted it and took the picture then back into the water it went. Next year I hope to land even a bigger one.
