If you want to compress your pictures and have Windows 10 may I  suggest a 3# hammer! Thanks to BtDt also advise you buy stock in Tylenol.

Twas a gorgeous day on the Pymatuning today and plenty of people enjoying it, including me.  Launched at Snodgrass about noon, setting sail for twenty foot of water where I stopped the motor and tossed a 1/2 oz walking jig, wearing a 3 inch black twister tail, overboard.   I let the jig drag on the bottom, as I laid the rod against the gunnel with a very loose setting on the reel drag, and began preparing my trolling rods.   
 
I kept a close eye on the rod tip as it bent and relaxed, letting me know the jig was bouncing along as the wind from the NW pushed us while I tightened the first reel loaded with leadcore, into the rod seat.  Wasn't long before the Helix began chirping and showing little fishy pictures 19' down in 20 FOW and and by now, I had tied my lure of choice to the leader of the leadcore.    
 
I barely set the trolling rod into it's holder when the tip of my jigging rod bent over and the drag began paying out line.  Quickly lifting the rod from the gunnel I knew I had a fish and it was a heavy fish too.  Shaking it's head and trying to stay down in the deep water I slowly reeled in line, not allowing any slack, hoping to prevent the fish from "spitting" my lure.  Several times I lost ground as the fish shook it's head and headed back down from where it came but each time, I was able to regain control and head the fish back toward the surface. 
 
I began having flashbacks of walleye caught in the past, one in particular, when my buddy Outasync and I was fishing and I was using the same rig and style of fishing.  Then, Dave was there to help net a beautiful 25 inch eye that I hooked and this fish, was acting the very same way but this time, no Dave.
 
It wasn't until it dove again when I got a quick glimpse of a white belly and my heart started to pound, man this was a fish I'd be taking pictures of and posting on the boards, if I can just get it in the boat.  Then suddenly the fish gave up, no more fight, still deep I began reeling the heavy fish up, dropping the rod tip to the surface of the water in anticipation of lifting the rod bringing the fish to my net which, I am now trying to grab.
 
Dipping the net into the water, I raised the rod tip attempting to lead the fish but, it never made it to the net.  
 
No sir, not in my net, nope not gonna happen, stupid catfish.
 
All in all, it was a great day as I eventually boated Bass, Crappie, Perch, and yes two Walleye that unfortunately, were just 13 and 15 inches.
 
With the exception of a face full of hooks, no fish were harmed in the making of this long winded adventure.
 
 
Good times and tight lines.

I went out last two days trying out water puppets in 10-13 fow caught a bunch of perch, couple catfish and one 16" walleye. May go out tomorrow should I go deeper?

Do they do anything different than a regular jig? I've been caught good this year went from 5 flicker shad to 20 and about 10 flicker minnows and increased my hot n tots by about double. Ice never really trolled anything besides harnesses until this year. Big difference I've seen is I can't seem to find any legal walleyes!

Lol. .... Ok BTDT as usual I'm just speechless !!! 🍺🍺 ya just made my day though ..... 🇺🇸Happy 4th of July🇺🇸

btdt..aint a chance in hell I could do all that...lmao..yr getting better at this!
 

Made it out to pymy for the first time in almost 2 months yesterday. Was a beautiful afternoon with a nice breeze and overcast skies. Boated 10 eyes, unfortunately only one legal one. Lots of 14" ones that went back to grow up. Think every Dutchman in Crawford county must have been out there yesterday

Kind of quiet here lately everyone must be out fishing no time to chat!!!

Well my wife and kids and my self are heading up tomorrow for a long weekend, staying at the Jamestown campground. probly the last trip for the year 😢! Any info or reports would be greatly appreciated in helping keep the kids and and mrs. interest in the boat with me! I know the fishing slows in this summer heat but it's the only time I can get up to the lake!
Hey also all these fish cribs that I read about in the lake are they productive this time if year? What's a good way to fish around them?
Thanks in advance and tight lines to all!!

I was beginning to worry this was a ghost town around here!!
Well at least you had a little action thanks for the update!

I will give an update on what I get into the next few days!!

Thanks for the report I'm going to be up the next four days I will try to give reports if I find any fish!!

Well guess I'm not missing anything 😜 I have got a lot of work done though .... Things will pick up , I'm sure ......Good luck to all 🍺🍺

Made it up yesterday, Sunday July 10. I believe it will be my last trip of the year. The lake is now a catfish pond. Cats and dink perch ALL DAY!!! Yeah, I get that I should be happy about catching fish, but traveling that distance round trip in one day increases my demands on the lake....which it has lived up to in past years.

stewfc agree the lake has a closed mouth on legal eyes....fished Thursday with a bunch of perch small gills and small cats being caught....even drove from the dam to The point...a 1hr and a half ride on the toon and still disappointed

its ok...I just cant wait to get on the water.  if the fish are not biting I just pretend I am practicing for the October bite w btdt and registered.  but we did not do that well last October either! lollol  its still my favorite place to be!!!!!
