Friday, we caught and landed one fish all day, except of you count rescuing Captain Silver :chuckle:
Then caught 6 today before we checked out about noon. ELKRUNNER joined us this morning for his first trip also and caught a nice 24" wally but I roped the weekend trip with a 28", 7 lb beauty, at least it was for me and my fist wally fishing trip.

One of these days I just have to shut the door behind me and not look back and get my ass over there to catch some of them beauties !! nice work Gents !!! :tup:
That's pretty much what I did. Made 0lqns last year to get at them but did not make it over, so I had some 2015 vacation days I had to use up so I decided now was the time, and I went. Had a blast :IBCOOL:

Nice job Pete! Good eats Do tell more on rescuing CapSilver???!
Funny you mentioned that :chuckle:
Got a call on my cell Friday afternoon on my cell from CS. Here I was thinking it was calling to tell me they were bailing and heading home, but NO, it was to in a round about way say, we're out of gas and need help......
He could not figure out if they were out of gas or not, so I told him I was on my way and decide what he needed when I get there. We found them on the east side of the lake about 30 yards from shore with there anchor out and wind blowing...... we got there keys to there trruck, ran back to the launch and grabbed there spare gas an out of there truck and took it back to them all the way across the lake.
Now what good does it to bring a spare gas can if your not going to carry it with you :dunno:
But it sounds as though running out of gas was the start of there problems for the trip home :chuckle:
I will let CS tell the rest of his story :yike:

Anyhow as we drove down from the top of Snoqualmie pass he rolled down the window and we heard weird noise..... it was clear something is going on.
We stopped and couldn't believe it - the rim was flat and almost perfectly rounded like metal wheel .So we changed the tire and drove to his house ..on the way we felt this shaking and were thinking the rear passenger tire lost balancing weight or something. We got to his house and the other trailer tire had wires coming out of the rubber and would have been gone in matter of couple more miles .... Anyhow , we got lucky and made it home in one piece .
Thanks Pete for the help and cooking .....

That's a great catch. Now that you got it figured out you should really consider releasing those large females. I know its hard to do but every thing we can do to keep this fishery strong will benefit everyone in the long run. The state will not do anything to protect this fishery, so its up to us as sportsman to do are part. :tup:
I've argued with a buddy about this. Releasing big females is great but little ones need released to grow... They cant grow if they're thrown on the fryer.... Some people fish till their limit is full and other only keep a few every now and again which is how I personally think ot should be done if you actually care about future walleye fishing.

Some of the fish we pulled up had there stomach bloated and sticking out there throat, like the big one I caught. She had my hook way down on the gills and stomach blocking the hook. It was tuff getting it unhooked with out getting my self poked by them big teeth......

I've fished walleye growing up in WI , since the 70's. Slot limits work. And should probably shut down the season for a months when they spawn too. No fishing/ possession of walleye during the spawning season in WI
