Went Walleye fishing and...

[Landshark]

I was walleye fishing in 20 feet of water and thought I had hooked another decent eyeball. I finally get the fish up to the hole and to my surprise a 9.5 lb laker. I couldnt believe the fight in this fish. Possibly because it came out of short water? I caught some decent walleye as well. The laker was a pretty rare catch for the area.

very cool,...

Were these caught in Otisco, or where? I know they've been catching beautiful walleyes with lakers on the same lures and positions at Hemlock....

Mike,

Those lakers fight awesome in the winter becuase they do not get beat up from warm water.

Gambler is right on. We catch them throughout the winter on the Niagara in 33 degree water. They are a completely different fish, they take line and just do not want to quit. Congrats on your ice fishing surprise!

Everybody wonders why we chase lakers on the Bar during the Spring derby. Kinda funny, a 24' Wellcraft drifting along with the river guys. But our arms at the end of the day tell the tale. I just wish that there was better ice access to those big L. Ontario slobs. There seems to be very few places where you have a legit shot at them.

That's a killer way to end a great weekend, Mike. Congrats!

Looks like an awesome ice fishing venture! Those lakers can put up a real good tussle if you winter troll the Fingers like some of us 'crazies'. -Andy
