Wisdom teeth were pulled out on Friday and a couple of days of taking it easy and boy was I ready to rip some lips!! Called up Dafishslayer and another friend who had never fished Lk. Roosevelt for Walleye and we were on for a President's Day Massacre!!!!

Left Medical Lake at 5:30 a.m. Got to Lincoln boat launch and water was like glass, hardly a breeze . Water is down 20 ft. or so and I was wonderiing how that was going to effect the fish??

Headed down river to our favorite hole and started the drift. We used the bow mounted electric trolling motor to keep us verticle. Fishing wasn't on fire but we did manage to catch 11 Walleyes and 2 trout. We missed several fish too on the reel up, one of which looked to be a monster, I could barely see it and boy was it big!! Oh well! Keep your head up DB, we kept the razor blades and rope away form him cause he was on suicide watch after missing that epic fish!!!!!!!

All in all it was a great day to be on the water :) And my buddie that never fished for Walleye on Lk. Roosevelt ended up having the hot hand! Tossing a few nicknames around for him, stuck between Mr. Miagi Fishslayer or Sensay Hookset!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thinking the fish are moving up towards the Arm, going to have to start hitting it hard asap!!

Tight Lines YO!!

This is ridiculous, I left medical lake at 8:00 am and hit 7 bays at 9:45 or 10:00. We should fish together sometime. You guys did a whole lot better than me, I need to learn the LR way.

Yeah it is gonna take a while to get over that. What ever it was, that thing was huge. I had it hooked pretty good ( so I thought ). When I pulled up on my pole it felt like I was snagged on the bottom, but I did get it off the bottom, it just stopped about half way up. I was using a one piece medium size pole and it was doubled over and maxed out. It felt like I had a 20 pound anchor on the end of my line. Then it started to shake it's head violently and came off. That was the biggest fish I have ever had on my line at Roosevelt what ever it was.
