I had a great time Sunday afternoon, I took a young man from Riverton who had a brain injury. He has trouble remembering stuff and understanding instructions which tend to make him get upset. Well he was having to much fun to get agitated . Our first flag was just a messed up minnow and he was happy we had got a bite. Our nest flag was a perch and he was pulling the line so fast he had it 3 feet in the air before I could say slow down. Then we missed another fish and he kept saying I want a walleye. Well his wish came true and he caught a nice 16 incher on the next flag, again he raced it to the serfice. We practice how fast you should bring the fish up and he felt he was ready again. His next fish was an 18 inch walleye that came out of the hole so fast it hit me in the face. I was trying to center the line over the hole with my hand while he was bring it up and so, Have you kissed your walleye lately? So He is really pumped up now, we get another flag,and I say slow and easy, as I get hold of the line to set the hook and hand the it to him, again I am centering the line over the hole. This it is a much larger fish and he starts out OK but just as it gets to the hole he kicks in overdrive and knocks it off on the bottom of the hole. The next thing I know the hook is in my hand and he screams it big real big and I am scream no its me, its me. He looks down at me and ask if it got away, then apologises, back to fishing school we go. We are just getting ready to quite when we get another flag. The minnow is gone and he is bummed. I put on anther minnow and drop it down the hole. We barely turn our backs and the flag pops up, I pull off a little line and feel the line tighten and set the hook and hand him the line, he is still to fast and I say slow down this is a good fish. He follows my request and we see a big head come-up into the hole. I reach down and scoop a big fat 22 inch walleye on to the ice. You would have thought it was a world record. He keeps say holy --- over and over and says that its his biggest fish ever. His joy says it all and he has made my day, month and year in just 3 hours of time.
Thanks olefish, that put a big smile on my face. I help with special olympics powerlifting and there is nothing better than an athlete putting up a PR lift.
Sunday took a break from the hard water at Boysen, went down by the dam , ran across some fresh bear prints , they were approx a 16" long or more. So I thought let him have the spot, no bites anyways in a hr or so. than I went down by the tunnels & I couldnt figure out what bait *not* to use , so much for taking a nap. I tossed back at least ten all were over 20" but they were real dark almost black rainbows with the stocker tails, (aka big bite no fight.) Guy next to me broke off a prize & a half. I bet it was at least 30" if not more. http://
...just off the bottom, schooled, if like years past, in about 50-60 FOW...I hope
my dad is out there today. don't know how he is doing though
