I've spent the better part of 4 years up at Ft. Peck fishing out of my canoe hoping for a walleye with no luck. Lots of smallmouth and northern pike but never any walleye. I told my fiance I'm cursed. Well this last week I finally broke my curse and caught my first walleye, a 2 pounder. But just to keep my ego in check my fiance caught the next fish a 6#, 26.5 inch walleye. We added one more that day.
We went back up this last Sunday since the weather and wind was favorable for my small 14' boat (I finally upgraded after years of wanting one thanks to Craig's list for a used aluminum and northern tool for the trailer kit). We had a heck of a day to say the least. For the first time in my life we limited out on walleye, got 7 smallmouth with 3 in the 3# range and she humbled me again by catching an 11# northern pike. It was amusing to have her ask me "Is he almost done fighting cause my hands and arms hurt." It took her 20 mintues on 4# test to catch him. I told her she was very lucky since the fuzzy grub was in his mouth and she didn't have a leader on.
