Can't believe what I did.
« on: April 21, 2016, 10:40:39 AM »
Was on Rufus Woods Tue. Landed the biggest walleye I have tangled with to date.  Great looking female full of eggs, Measured her out and put her back in the water immediately.  As I watched her swim away my fishing partner says, "ya know what we forgot"  I say, "No what did we forget"?  He says, "to take a picture".  I look back into the water and beg her to come back as I only wanted to take her picture!   DOH!   :bash:

Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

Maybe you'll get lucky and catch her again when she's even bigger  :tup:

The mind picture is the best, the last bonefish I caught is firmly in place, not digital, just cranial

Congrats! What were the measurements?

Just a hair under 27"  did not measure girth.  Most charts say she should have weighed in at somewhere around 7 lbs 
No picture it didn't happen,  If so, best dream I've had in a while.   :)
