I was in HOG heaven

Finally landed that last walleye I needed for my Walleye Specialist award. It eluded me for the past 2 years. I came close soooooo many times as close as 1/8th of an inch
Funny, I had a feeling when I woke up today that this would be the day. To make my day, it was the first fish I landed today
The action was hot and heavy all morning. My MarCum screen was lit up all morning. The bite was aggressive for a change. All I had to do was put the lure just above the mark and start reeling slowly and BAM……fish on! The action was so consistent it reminded me of a good day of Perch fishing. I couldn't keep up. Never had to change lures but now the hooks I was using need a good sharpening……no guff
29 inches of happiness and relief that my quest has come to a conclusion!
My favourite candid photo……thank you Cheryle for sharing the moment with me…….and thank you Allan for capturing the special moment

I'm still smiling today and yes ALL those BIGUNS were released for someone else to catch (hopefully my Grandson

Thanks guys……considering the weather conditions this season and all my cancelled trips I feel fortunate to have had some success this season. Picking up some invaluable tips from this site has helped me succeed.
I'll disregard the "frozen eyes" (that was actually snow…..because I was fishing on snow) and the "did you keep it" comments from the peanut gallery.
