Hit the southern walleye impoundment last night with friend on leave from Ft. Bragg. The bite was good immediately with 5 walleye landed within 30 minutes, one keeper. After he landed a fish my friend came up to me and asked if I had a set of cutters. The walleye got him.
I left my Leatherman at home but there was another vehicle in the parking area so I sent him to go find those people while I picked up our stuff and went back to the truck. Luckily he found the other two guys who were fishing nearby and one of them had a set of wire cutters. They cut it at the bend and pulled it through for him. We fished until 9PM and ended up with 6 walleye apiece, only one keeper.
Major thanks to Justin and Brian for their great assistance with the hook removal! Nice way to meet good folks. Thanks again!!
