Please tell me he used the phrase "crushing sandos" at least once around lunchtime.

No but he did say he was "ripping up Tinder" when he hit Winnipeg

I saw a boat that wasn’t moving at all. They must have been jigging. I don’t know if I am patient enough to do that…

jigging is the most fun way to catch walleye... especially on a light action / medium light rod, dang they are fun to catch

nice 'eye!
Minnows on a jig just off of the bottom in 10-12 ft of water was the ticket in Manitoba.

What lake were you fishing in Manitoba @2rocky ?

The Winnipeg river behind one of the many Dams. Flew out of Lac du Bonnet to near Point du Bois

You could tell the guys who were going or had been fishing in the airport. As soon as I mentioned it, they were showing me pictures!

Was it by the smell?

Great walleye! Congrats. I gotta a buddy that says bottom bouncers don’t catch big fish, I’ll be sure to share this thread with him!

I’ve caught several over 30 inches on a harness/crawler, he’s lying, however I have the luxury of fishing the Columbia river. Lots of factors in play.
