It took a lot of grinding but I finally beat my record of 3 Fall MAs and caught my 4th last night. My last 3 trips for big Walleyes have yielded zero fish. Those kind of skunks can easily demoralize even the best of us. Last night I opted to fish a part of the lake I've never fished before. As I walked the shoreline I realized why I hadn't before, shallow, muddy, little structure. I already walked a half mile so said screw it's time to fish. The wind was howling and the waves were crashing at my feet. I cast out a 4" perch swimbait and about my 8th cast I felt a thump. After the best battle I've had all year this hog came.
30" no scale no weight.
I continued fishing for another couple of hours without a bite. I feel pretty lucky how it all went down. Lots of factors could have made the outcome different but I went with my gut and it paid off.
Tight lines everybody

Not to mention another that ripped my Huddleston tail and didn't hookup. I am in an unprecedented nightmarish walleye streak, and my sanity is slipping. Plenty of bites, lots of follows, GIANT cruisers going right by my feet, but ZERO landed walleyes in my last 20 outings. Trophy walleyes are definitely not for the faint of heart. :biggrin1:
