Red River Walleye Adventure #5 2011

It's Fall on the Red River. The leaves on the water provide a beautiful sight (and a pain in the butt at the same time) and with nice comfy temperatures what more could a person ask for? How about a 9 pound Walleye? How about some "eaters" mixed in there for fun? Or what about a few Sauger that are the same size as the bait we're using?

Phil, myself, and Tim arrive at the boat ramp at about 6pm. After a long boat ride, I say enough's enough, we need to fish here or it'll be dark soon! I love it when things go as planned, 3 minutes into the trip and Phil gets the first fish of the evening. It's a little dinky sauger but hey, it "broke the ice" so to speak.

After a few more sauger, Tim hooked a really nice 23 inch Walleye on a Sucker minnow. When I go trophy hunting, I tell ever whoever's in the boat every single time "hey just be prepared to get yours hopes shot down if you hook into a big fish, because it could be a catfish, or a drum". And of course, I got my hopes crushed from a nice drum Tim got.

I like Mike Iaconelli's style. "Never give up". Always think positive and anticipate landing a big fish. It's going to happen, it's going to happen.

WHAM! Zzzzzzzzzt,......zzzt........zzt......That's the sound of the drag being pulled out from Phil's next fish. I see the classic head-shake and we are all 3 in agreement it's a nice walleye. I grab the "big fish net" and stand by the motor. Don't have to do much coaching here, Phil's maneuvering the fish from one side of the prop to the other, preventing it from breaking the line. (Very nice work.)

We get a glimpse of it, "Ooooooh nice Walleye" and the battle is over, Phil won. The fish was 29 inches and 9 pounds 2 ounces. After taking some pictures, Phil did the honors of making sure she went back into the River nice and healthy, but we had to give her a kiss goodbye first. A few minutes of resuscitating and she swims away fine.

I hope he meant it when he said "You know, I shot a Moose a few weeks ago, and this Walleye Trip means more to me, and is more special than that was". Because it meant a lot to me also, as does each and every trip on the water.

Thanks for coming guys. See you next time!

Fun times. Heck, my favorite part was jig ems excitement and enthusiasm. He was a relieved captain when the fish hit the net!

And what do ya know, he is immune to my jinx abilities. So far....

Hey now, I told you don't bring that attitude in my boat! Glad you had fun.

I was actually thinking about that due to over-booking. I wouldn't want people to pay full rates in the middle or toward the end of November. It's not really worth 3 Saugers. But this time of year (and like you mentioned, if the dang water temps ever fall below 56-ish) the chances are high. Then, slows down for a bit, then it picks back up once the Red freezes.

And I'm sure it'll be a banner year also, but I have some big goals still. There hasn't been a fish over 11.5 pounds in the boat yet

Well, I'm at 60% success for Walleye Trips boating a 9 pound plus so far. First trip was 11.5 lbs, then a 10, now this 9 pounder. The other 2 trips had to settle for nice fat football 20 inch walleye, sauger, pike, and catfish.

BUT opportunities were there to get a big one in the boat, just too many variables like missed hook sets, etc that prevented them from connecting with that coveted trophy.

I already have enough people who occasionally spy on me with the spotting scope and mimic what I do! I've been told I shouldn't be so trustworthy. I'm kinda kicking myself in the rear for showing too many people the "ways", but that's partially why I'm in this. I like transferring 9 years of knowledge into people's brains (people who book trips with me)
