fishin at Red Lake

18 inch walleye mom had to throw back because of the slot...






Very large Red Lake crappie I caught. I have caught many large crappies from Red Lake, but with the walleye comeback this may be my last gigantic Red laker. Because of this I decided to wrap and vacuum seal the crappie for the taxidermist. Now I will have a crappie for the wall!



For the most part the bite was really slow with a bite here and there. Between 3 of us we caught about 10 walleyes and brought home 5 eaters under the 17 inch slot. I had on the big fish of the day up to the hole, but it came off while I tried to pull it up the hole. I think it was a good walleye between 5 and 7 pounds.
