RFRG Outdoors listener fish!
Here's Eric with a great 48x23 taken by a little more unusual method, the beautiful weather lately inticed him to just "get out" and fish a bit. Here's his story...
"I caught this shore fishing Tuesday morning on the river. I was feeling kind of bad about my boat being stored for the season and decided to shore fish just to get out. 48"x23 1/4". Who needs a $40,000 Ranger.....I just needed my Hellhound..."
"The few walleye fisherman that were there must have thought I was nuts lumbering to the waters edge with musky gear. I almost didn't bring my net because I didn't really think I would catch anything. It was just such a beautiful morning to be out. It felt like I was getting hung up in the rocks again and just kept putting soft tension on the line to free the lure. This happened about three times before my line went sideways and I realized I had a fish on. I never set the hook on it and that fish never knew it was hooked as it slowly drifted to me. Once it saw shore it finally realized it was hooked. When I saw the size I didn't want to try and land it myself so I shouted to one of the walleye fisherman who ran over and netted it for me and took the pictures. Good thing I never put the screws to that fish since the hooks were all in the soft tissue of the mouth and was unhooked without harm and released."
VERY COOL Eric and thanks for sharing with us!
