I caught a 34.5 inch walleye when I was in high school. My dad was running the boat and my brother and I were pulling crank baits. Our lines crossed while turning around so we traded poles. Not 10 seconds later this fish was on his pole in my hands. Dad forgot the camera.

It was tied for the largest caught in Manitoba that year according to the master angler database.

We go to Tramping every year, amazing lake. Testing a theory I've had, were both caught on in the little lake on the north end? Looking back through our records, I've noticed we catch more 28+ down south but more of the bigger 31+ come from the north end.

I get fed Ad's on FB for various fishing report tracking apps etc. Anything good people use?

My son and his friends use Fish Brain but it’s more of a flex on your friends or seeing if anyone caught anything in a certain body of water type thing. There are better apps out there for tracking spots and catches. It really depends on what you want to use it for.

I don’t use any of them because I usually end up wherever the kids decide we’re going that day.

My 13 yr old has really become passionate about getting out this summer. We are in Ankeny, and he hits the local ponds pretty hard and actually has some success due to his patience.

I'm usually too dismissive about wanting to go with him (he is still asking to go every 90+ degree day). The kid has drive though. He has practices that will go until about 8 at night, and when I pick him up he still asks if I want to go out. I finally gave in last night. The kid pulled in a nice bass and a huge bluegill out of one of the small park ponds. I didn't even get a bite. Ha, that was karma!

We’re usually fishing Ankeny ponds at least once or twice a week. The “better” ponds seem to rotate because word gets out so quickly when fish are hitting. Ankeny and the DNR do a really good job at maintaining them though.

We have one this year where bass have been hitting like crazy so 9 times out of 10, that’s where we end up at.

I caught mine on a spot they called the mud flats. The other was caught on a hump my uncle spotted not far from there.

About SRC season here.

We’ll go once or twice a summer to some stocked mountain lakes (trout). My older boys (6 & 3) are starting to enjoy it. The 3yr old got his first fish this last trip. He loved it (and throwing rocks into the lake later).

If you’re ever around Redstone or Marble CO check out Beaver lake.

Doesn’t sound good for my theory. Lol

This was nearly 20 years ago now. We haven't been back in a while. We would always spend a few days on some of the remote lakes they had access to, but when they made it so you couldn't access those lakes without a guide, we stopped going. The first year we were there we went to Krug Lake which was down an abandoned rail bed. My dad uncle and myself caught over 20 northern that day that were 40+ inches throwing spoons along the weeds.
