My fish got done at the taxidermist today.
30 in. Walleye with a 17 1/4th girth out of Red Lake, MN.
Reminds me of the day I caught it. Brisk north winds freezing our asses off on a February morning on the ice, not even a bite for several hours. Desperate we try all our hooks in the tackle box, all the fancy shindigs that rattle, whistle, flash. Trying all our bait: Wax worms, Emerald shiners, Fatheads. I slap on a small 1/8th old fashioned chartreuse jig with a fathead and jig for 10 minutes and suddenly a wicked ass hit.
Sadly it didn't put that much of a fight, landed it relatively easy. Took longer trying to fit the head in the hole than it took actually fighting the fish. (6 in. hole.)
Anybody else have trophies from outings, whether it be hunting or fishing? Stories would be amazing.
