explosive topwater strike!

I was throwing a power grub and jig for anything that would bite and got into some smallmouth bass. After getting a couple on the grub, I tied on a chug bug, hopeing to get some topwater action. First cast to a patch of weeds brought out one of the biggest topwater strikes I have seen in a while. I set the hook, ready to do battle with a huge smallie, only to feel dead weight as I started to reel in. I thought mabye it got away in the weeds or something. I reeled in only to find about a 20 inch walleye, with the plug wedged in its mouth so it could not shut its jaws. After I removed the hooks, it started to put up a good fight, spilling a tackle box and disconnecting the fuel line from the tank.

Cyberfish-Knowing you, your'e tackle was probably alread half spread out all over the boat and your fuel line was already disconnected. I can't wait another story I get to here about 15 thousand times. I hope you don't see my post before Sun. I want to hear the story at least 5 times by then.

What Lake were you on? I assume this was while you were at camp this week. At least tell us if it was up at Lutherdell or at the cabin out on highway 12. BY THE WAY, what's with referring to a 20" walleye as "dead weight on the end of the line"?

We'll I only heard the story 3 times, but I wasn't around Cyb for every second after our tournament during the prime time for story telling.

As for GEM EYE GUY, a top water strike and any kind of fight is just two much for that pea sized eye brain to do in short order. Kind of like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
They may be gold on the outside, but I assure you that they are all blonde on the inside.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
