This is your annual reminder this walleye season not to feel bad about keeping and eating all those tasty fish you catch out of the McNary pool.H
Especially the big ones :twocents:

Eh, lost their $100,000 fishing boat. And one of the guys is facing a litany of other unrelated charges. Using his son to pass fake $100's off in bowling alleys for change...embarrassing!
Not sure if this would blow up any spots or not...but where's the closest walleye fishery to the wetside? Only fished Banks before for em.

I dunno. Most of the ones I’ve been catching are only 12-16#…I don’t think that’s quite big enough to eat an adult salmon.I mean...technically you didn't catch them, a couple helpless children did :chuckle:

Yeah…I always kick my kid outta the way to grab the rod when a 17 pounder bites too :dunno: You really learn someone’s character when you take em out on a boat :ban:I dunno.

he shouldn't have fallen asleep then.

It might just be me, but I am sensing some unresolved history between you two :dunno:big time! I booked a free guided trip with him for me and my 10 year old son on Tuesday. Really lousy operation he is running imo. First issue was the first 6 fish were too big and my son got all tuckered out fighting them. After landing an 11.6lber he fell asleep from exhaustion so couldn't fish anymore. Then this guy has me reel in a 15.5lb fish and not 20 minutes later makes me reel in a 16.2lber :bash: Fish after fish way above eating size. Who wants to hassle with 7-16lb fish :dunno: Then to really ruin the trip he ate all my jerky :bdid: All in all just a horrible experience. For what I paid him I really expected better :twocents:
:chuckle:

A mutiny is in order!
Or a strategically placed banana would be sufficient!
Sounds like an amazing trip. :tup:
If my son fell asleep from fighting fish, I would consider that an accomplishment of a lifetime. :tup:
Seriously, sounds like a great trip with good people, hope you got pics to go with it!
Thanks for sharing :chuckle:

We decided to go over the pass and hit lake Roosevelt. I launch at the primitive launch a couple miles up the Kettle river, and run down to the large bay just above the were the Kettle flows into the FDR.
We started trolling Double Wammys with a night crawler trailer. Immediately my youngest son got a hit. A 20” Walleye was quickly in the net. I had read and you can see they have serious teeth. No one ever told my their gills have teeth :yike:
I reach my fingers in the gills to pick it up, and his gills bite me!
Sliced both fingers good enough for to never try that again.
We caught a couple rainbows then my older son (10 at the time) hooked something that was stripping line on a run. I that a big rainbow maybe :dunno:
It took a few minutes to get any line in. He finally gets it within sight and I new we were in trouble landing it. He had a huge 10 lb or better walleye on. I had a typical long handled trout net, and when I tried it to net the fish, the net bent straight down vertically. I attempted to net it three times with a destroyed net and almost had it in the boat when It flipped out and was gone.
I felt horrible.
Up to that point, in my sons eyes I was a fishing god, now I was a mere mortal who Lost the biggest fish my son had ever had on. :'(
We had walleye for the first time that night to dinner. I was hooked from then on :tup:

Honestly though I’ve really no idea why I’m the one apologizing…you’re the one who scratched up my best lure and bent all the hooks on it :bash:
