Hey folks, We couldn't have ordered a more perfect day for the trip! Had a tremendous time and it was a blast catching the perch, sorry we only managed one eye after the perching... but the shortest angler on the boat did a great job of catching it! Congrats to Jolie's daughter on her first eye.
I have a few pics that will have to wait till tomorrow to upload on the high speed, hopefully Jolie gets his up that he took of his daughter's giant perch also. She got the biggest of the day!
I would do it again this weekend if someone got to arranging it! (just give me a couple days warning to make the cookies and deviled eggs! LOL)
And speaking of arranging.... Bigslick did a great job of getting this set up for all to enjoy! and let me be the first to nominate him to organize next years outing!!!!
First of all a Huge thanks to karen for making the experience very pleasant and memorable. Also huge thankx for bigslick, for organizing it. I wished I could have stayed longer to meet more of you.
The big perch was 13 1/2"! keyannas first walleye was 17". highlights also include me and my daughter catching two doubles at the same time ( I suddenly had more fish than I could handle), another guy catching the only triple just as he was mentioning that everyone around him was catching except himself, and leaving the perch pack to find a place like three times better.
also not in a hundred years, could you announce a date two months ahead (in the summer) and have such awesome conditions. it wasn't too hot, too windy, too sunny, or stormy.
I also found it interesting that when I asked her about her favorite part of the trip she mentions the BIG fish (the walleye and the perch). I think we are starting to make her into a trophy angler
. the next adventure has to be steelhead. we need to find something a little bigger than 17".
