So some mongo walleye are supposed to be around but with the poor water conditions I was only able to find one particular visitor.
Confirmed that this is a Gizzard Shad. It is most likely my PB (personal best size) Gizzard. I believe I've caught 3 of these in my entire life and usually I throw them back with the "quickness" because I don't like to touch their stinkyness. However since this was the biggest so far... I decided to give it a photo op. Playing around with lighting.
Rod: St. Croix Avid - Medium 7' Ex-Fast Action
Reel: Shimano Sustain 5000
Line: Momoi Blue Diamond Braid #20
Lure: Cabelas 3/8oz Salt Striker Jighead & Zoom Pink Shad
Tide: Top of outgoing - 11pm
This is a throwback to my first gizzard I landed on my new vanstaal 150G back about a 2 years ago or so. This slimy and smelly guys just can't leave me alone!
First fish on Vanstaal:
This guy has followed me around for a few years now. I still have no love for him.
