Fishing, "Big Time"

I Met up with my buddy Jeff and his brother John today for another session on the lake. Huge south winds kept our options limited, but we toured the south end of the lake looking for the bite. We started at Rogers, moved up to Club 21, then Stoney. We had some bites at 21 and John landed a small northern, but it clearly was not what we were looking to get ourselves into.

John had an idea about Trader’s Bay, so around the corner we went, and still nothing could be convinced to bite. We were pondering different options and ready to make a big move across some big waves when we decided to give Little Stoney a try since we were right there. Good idea! We got bit right away and ended up finding the walleyes. I was hot – boating 4 (a 19”, 20” and 21” plus a slot fish) and had another slot fish to the boat before losing him. John did his share on two, including one slot fish. Jeff? Not so much…

We had a great time, although fishing could have been a little easier for us. Regardless, it was kind of them to trailer their boat over and take me out, and we had a lot of laughs.

Speaking of laughs, the boys will be launching their TV show later this year in October. I’ll post up time/channel details once we get closer, but in the mean time here’s a preview.



To think, I have now officially outfished both Al Lindner and Jimmy “Big Time” Miller. I gotta get me a TV show…
