Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Anyone make any personal best weights on any of the lakes or rivers you like to fish? Personal bests for me this summer was on Whitefish Lake with a 7lb Walleye and a 5 1/2lb Walleye at the mouth of Current River. Never caught anything close to those sizes at those locations before.

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted October 18, 2013 29 and change walleye at mouth of CR. Many firsts on the fly. Was a great season for me. For sure one of the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eyeguy 22 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Got a couple 28+ inchers this year - one on a first-time (but definitely not last) lake, and one on a river that's given up quite a few 22 - 25's for me in the past. Always figured there were some hogs there somewhere, finally found one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnr 47 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Found that this season the fishing was spectacular. Personal best walleye for me....33.75 inches and captured on video. Caught many quality fish of every species and in fact had a little trouble getting "eaters". The fish this year just seemed to be consistently bigger than average.....Oh woe is me!!!!!

Iron Ranger 125 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Not my "personal" best, but I was very proud to be in the boat when our Grandson caught his personal best Bluegill (11"). We got it in our "secret lake". He is still asking if it is our secret lake. Quote 20 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope and no Jobs.

gsambray 172 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 No personal best but never went home without catching fish. Most of the credit has to go to everyone on the forum since the help you get on here has made me into a better fisherman. Thanks to everyone! Most memerable day was a little family tournament were I weighed in 4 smallies at a total weight of 19.5lbs.u Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monks 164 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 My PB happened on Marmion this year a day before the bass tourney. Beautiful sunny day headed to check on a school of bass then wham, I hammered one! The thing hit so hard, I was knocked over and was semi-unconscious for a moment. Not many people can say they have tied up a 225 etec Well... I can joke about it now since, the shock has worn off, the boat only needs a new transom, and insurance came good for a new motor and everything else thankfully. Remember, put on that PFD and tether switch so the big one does not get away. Cheers Monks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
