I just got back from a long weekend on Leech with the family and thanks to some good advice from you guys, had a great trip. I went out Friday morning with my son to Mokeys Reef and set up with slip bobbers in 11 feet...it wasn't 1 minute and his bobber went down and he set the hook into a 29.5"/17" girth fish of a lifetime. About 5 minutes later, I netted it for him and we were both going nuts. He has been fishing with me for 2 years now and has seen enough walleyes to know this one was a beauty. I just wanted to let everyone know he caught it and decided to release it after a bunch of photos and after I convinced him that a graphite replica would look nice and probably even last longer. It made my trip. I'll post pictures in a couple days when I get them back. Thanks for the advice last week about where to go. Jigtugger

Seems like someone is doing a great job of guiding and an even better job of parenting. Way to go kid!!!
