5/7/2012 Fishing Report
Well the Walleye are wrapping up there spawn. We had some great fishing this spring mainly on rocky shorelines, The males where thick. I think its going to be a great season. We had no run off this spring so that meant no current coming into the lake this spring. In return we didn't have a huge number of fish head north. So that means they stayed in the main part of the lake so it should be a great season. Everything we are catching is less than four foot of water. Lead heads and sliders (plastics) have been the best for me. Bring a lot of tackle the pike are on fire. I'll be doing a lot more fishing in the next week or so so stay tuned.

4/11/2012 Fishing Report
Well the ice left us one month earlier than last year. WOW! the pike have spawned out and the walleyes should start around the week of the 20th. With the early ice out I predict that we are going to have a great May for fishing unlike the last two years where it was hit and miss. We have been out a few times for the pre-spawn bite and it has been good. Some big females and some nice eater males. The shore fishing has been hit and miss from what I hear but pretty good. Channel A and the coulee bridges along with church's ferry have been the best. I hear since the pike have spawned they are really heating up. I will get back to fishing and get you guys another report soon.

3/18/2012 Fishing Report
Well we have cancelled the rest of the ice fishing season due to our warm weather. I thought I would show some of our last catch's for the season. I will post some reports in may when we get the boats out.

3/10/2012 Fishing Report
Well fishing was a little more hit and miss this last week with all the front but still managed to get some good fish. Here are some pics for you to check out. Also looks like some really warm weather coming in, should make for some great fishing. 

3/06/2012 Fishing Report
Fishing still remains good, these guys from Iowa got there limit of perch over the weekend:-), the ice is in great shape. 30 inches. We did get about 5 inches of snow but that will be short lived with the warmer weather coming. We still have a couple days open in March if you want to cash in on some fishing.

3/01/2012 Fishing Report
Perch fishing this last week has been very good. The perch have been going at all depths any where from 18 to 50ft. East devils lake and the main lake have been the best. Walleye fishing this last week was a little slower than the past. I guess the perch made up for it. Here's some pictures of the last couple groups we had in.  Jason Feldner  Home: 701-473-2533  Cell: 701-351-1294 Or  701-351-8170  - percheyedl@yahoo.com

2/27/2012 Fishing Report
Scott Beshorners group managed to get 200 perch and around 35 walleyes and a hand full of pike on the 3 day adventure with Perch Eyes. We had a little weather system come through while they where here and the fishing stayed strong. The rest of the week looks to be warming so the fishing should stay good. We have just a few open dates left for the winter do if you want to get something set up for next year give us a call. Good fishing to you all. 

2/24/2012 Fishing Report
Fishing still remains good:) these guys from MN had there limit of eyes and 30 perch to go with them and one tipping the scale at 2 pounds. The walleyes are still biting on shoreline structure and mid lake humps. The perch are biting from one end of the lake to the other. Depths from 10 to 50 feet of water. Get of the edge of the structure and start drilling holes. We still have some dates in March open of you want to make the trip out.

2/18/2012 Fishing Report
Fishing remains strong. Here are some pictures from the last 3 days. The action for the walleye is only about the first hour of the day. Jogging Lindy Rattle'n flyers tipped with a minnow head has been working well along with tip ups tipped with a plain hook and a large fat head minnow. Perch action is good but slow. I'm saying this because you get little spurts during the day sometime you'll fish for a hour with nothing and bam you'll get 5 in 5 min. And then you sit and wait again. We have tried drilling g a 100 holes but it seems you catch more by sitting still still have a few openings yet this winter.

2/14/2012 Fishing Report
Steve Bouwmen and his son spent a day on the lake with us and hit the perch. They had 6 walleyes, 2 pike and there 40 perch. Great job guys. Fishing slowed a a little but rebounded nice. It seem like every part of the lake is producing fish deep to shallow it's just one of those winters.  Good luck to all and we hope we can be a part of your next trip to Devils Lake.

02/11/2012 Fishing Report
Well as you can see these lady's from WI. Had some good fishing despite the full moon this last week. The walleye fishing has been good but the window of for catching is short but sweet.  Perch fishing this week was a touch slower. I think The reason is the cold weather. The reason I say this is when it was warmer we could get out and hole jump. When its cold everyone wants to stay put and warm. This next week is going to get in the upper 20's so the catch rate will go up. We still have just a few openings left if you still want to make a trip out. The ice is 22 to 24 inches and no snow so conditions are great.

02/03/2012 Fishing Report
Well despite all the fog this week the fishing was still good. Nothing fast but just enough to keep you interested. These guys had a great day with a limit of walleyes and 34 perch one tipped the scale at 2.09 pounds a true lunker.

02/03/2012 Fishing Report
Fish remains stable. Walleyes are still going shallow 12 feet and under. Lindy flyers tipped with a minnow head has been best along with tip-ups tipped with a minnow. Perch are all over the board camp Grafton, east bay, east Devils lake and lake Ervin has been best for perch. Just a few openings left this winter if you want to come out don't wait. Keep your lines tight.

01/27/2012 Fishing Report
Fishing has been up and down this week along with the weather. If we get one stable day the fish go good. When we get fronts every day the fish are on and off, on and off like a light switch. It still hasn't been bad fishing we are just a little spoiled this year. Walleyes are still shallow and the perch are both. Westill have a few openings for this winter so don't Wait to long.

01/23/2012 Fishing Report
Well the fishing still remains consistent. The walleyes are still shallow 5 to 10 foot of water seems best, Lake Ervin is the most consistent bite. We have a shallow perch bite and a deep bite going. When the sun shines perch fishing has been best. The best areas are the dome house and east devils lake. We have a few dates open so if you want to make it out here shoot us a email and we will see what we can do for you.  Jason Feldner  Home: 701-473-2533  Cell: 701-351-1294 Or  701-351-8170  - percheyedl@yahoo.com

01/20/2012 Fishing Report
Well we had a cold front and it pushed us to 20 inches of ice. We had one day hiccup with the cold front and back to catching fish. These photos at two day fishing for these guys. They no how to work a jig. Lindy flyers on old shorelines for the walleyes and mud flats for the Perch. Lake Ervin has been the best but it takes a lot of holes to get on them but when you do this is what you get. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND TAKE A KID FISHING!

01/18/2012 Fishing Report
People ask us what we do on our day off? Kyle and I go fishing to find new spots for our next group that comes in. We got a huge cold front and are gaining inches of ice per day. We are sitting at about 18 inches. Fishing remains strong. Walleyes still coming shallow 8 to 12 feet. Perch are coming from 10 to 40 ft. Of water. Lindy rattle'n flyers have been best for perch and Walleye.

01/17/2012 Fishing Report
Kevin Komorouski had a great day with us on Devils. He got his 10 walleyes and his 25 perch with our guide Kyle, GOOOD JOB Kyle. Fishing remains good out here I would say the best fishing in 5 years. The cation isn't fast but nice and steady. Walleyes are still coming 6 to 12 feet and the perch are all over the board. I have been doing some photo shoots the last couple days so not much to report on my end. We have a big group coming in this weekend so we should have a bunch of pics for you to enjoy.

01/15/2012 Fishing Report
Well we are on the back side of the full moon and fishing is picking up. We only had a couple guys out the last few days due to a group coming in a week early last year. One good thing about having a few days off we got out and scout fished and found some new perch and walleye spots. Jigging lindy flyers tipped with minnow heads are working best for perch and walleye this week. Lake Ervin seems to be the place to fish this winter. For those of you that don't know the area lake Ervin is connected to Devils Lake. Walleyes seem to be biting every place you go you just have to weed through the little ones. We still have a few openings yet this winter with some of the best yet to come. GO PACKERS:))))

01/08/2012 Fishing Report
Bob from MI got 17 perch, 5 walleyes and a pike on a guided trip on Jan. 8th, we also had another group out that had a great mixed bag along with a huge Pike. Great job guys. Walleyes are coming shallow 6 to 10 foot on tip ups tipped with minnows, jigging lindy flyers is also working. Perch are coming on small jigs and wax worms.

01/01/2012 Fishing Report
Happy new year everyone. Walleye fishing remains very strong in the mornings and afternoons. Lindy flyers tipped with minnow heads have been best. Also tip ups tipped with live minnows has been best. The per fishing has been good also and a little hit and miss. Check out the catch Dion, Tracey, Mitchell and Shelle all from WI. GREAT JOB!

12/28/2011 Fishing Report
Fishing remains good! Walleyes are the most consistent and the perch are to follow. Each day the bite changes, some days tip-ups and some days jigging. The perch seem to move a lot but we hook up with them every few days. As you can see these customers from NE limited on walleyes and ended up with a dozen nice perch.

The Perch fishing remains good a lot of fish from 9 to 11 inches, not huge but great on the table. The walleye bite remains very good on the humps in 6 to 12 feet of water. On the west end of the lake we have 10 inches of ice and no snow yea! We do have a few openings yet this winter so don't wait to long to book your trip.

12/05/2011 Fishing Report
Can't believe how good the fishing is. We have a good 7 inches of ice and its cold cold cold so its stacking up. Here are a couple pictures from Dec. 5th and Dec. 4th. my wife and I had our Limit of Perch with in 2 hours and tonight the Dec. 5th I got a limit of nice eyes in 45 min. I hope the fishing stays good this winter. Any structure is holding the walleyes and any presentation is working they are just feeding and feeding hard. If anyone can make a trip out before Christmas I'll shoot you a heck of a deal.
Good Fishing to all.

11/30/2011 Fishing Report
We I said I would go Tuesday and Tuesday turned into Wednesday Morning. A buddy and I had our 10 walleyes in two hours. We lost a couple nice ones and tossed back a couple dinks. The ones we kept where 14 to 20 inches. We where fishing tip-ups tipped with fathead minnow. We also jigged Lindy rattling flyers tipped with a minnow head. We had a good 5 inches of Ice here on the west end. Looks like we have some colder weather coming in at the end of the week so we will be taking the wheelers out. It's looks to be setting up for a great ice fishing season. If you are interested in a early season fishing trip give me a call.
Good fishing to all.

Well the west and North ND of the lake is frozen over. Sunday I walked out about 3 hundred yards and had 6 inches of ice. So I'm going to scratch the itch on Tue. afternoon and go ice fishing. We do not have any snow yet, Thank God as some of you know the last two winters have been a mess with all the snow fall. But if mother nature deals those cards to us again we are ready for it. We still have two sets of tracks for our trucks and one set for my crew cab ranger. I will post another report after the first time out ice fishing.
Thanks
Jason Feldner

11/10/2011 Fishing Report
Well we had one of those awesome falls the weather was mild, the fishing and hunting was good. We are finally seeing that big push of Mallards with the cold weather this last week. Of course its late and we have no customers in at this time. I'm hopeing that mother nature is going to give us a break this winter on the snow fall. I have heard two reports. One is for a average snow fall and the other is double what we normally get. Time will tell. We are starting to get a little ice on the back bays of the lake and all the small sloughs are frozen up. If your thinking of a trip out this winter I would get on the ball we are about 50% booked so dont procrastinate. I'll keep you posted on the ice conditions.

9/25/2011 Fishing Report
Well the fall fishing has been really really good. It seems like the fish are every place you go. Deep, shallow and in between. Trolling lead core on road beds. casting shore lines. pulling spinners in 8 to 12 foot of water. slip bobber fishing. You name it and you can catch fish. This will be our last week of open water fishing. We switch over to waterfowl hunting. If you still want to get out fishing this fall let me know i know a couple good guides in the area that i could hook you up with.

9/08/2011 Fishing Report

Well its that time of year where we are fishing and hunting. Bow hunting started Sept. 1st and Rick shot this great 5x4 whitetail in full velvet at about 10 yards, great shot. Fishing still remains good also. Casting cranks along the shores is working well for nicer fish. You wont catch numbers but they are nice fish. The spinner bite using crawlers is still going strong. fishing windy shore lines in 8 to 12 foot of water is best and on top of old road beds. We still have a couple openings if you are interested.
Keep your lines tight.


7/20/2011 Fishing Report

Hot Hot Hot, Hot temps and hot fishing. 80 walleyes per day are not uncommon right now. You'll have to catch that many to get 15 keepers but what fun. Pulling spinners in 12 to 15 ft. of water seem to be best. Gold, Perch and minnow patterns have been best. The bobber bite on the west end (flats) has been really good around that 13 ft. range. Leeches and crawlers have been best.
Keep your lines tight


6/22/2011 Fishing Report

Is summer ever going to come? Looks like maybe this weekend. Fishing has been up and down along with the weather. When we have wind casting Lindy shadlings along the shore lines is working best. When it calms down bobber fishing in 12 foot of water or less is the ticket. I heard of some people starting get fish on the golden Hyw pulling spinners. One nice thing about this cool June the fishing will be good in July and Aug.
Keep your lines tight


5/29/2011 Fishing Report

Well the fishing has been good over all. If and when we get sun the fishing has been unbeatable. Most of the fish are between 18 and 24 inches. Casting plastics into the shallows is working the best. Crank baits are working good in the afternoons when the water warms up. Next week the fishing should really get good with the temps warming up.


5/10/2011 Fishing Report
Depending on where you are located on the lake depends on if the walleyes are spawning, spawned out or still hard. We had our first guide trip of the open water season two days ago and it went well. We boated 12 walleyes, 1 perch and 1 pike. All the walleyes had spawn in them. we released 5 fish over 24 inches and the biggest at 27 inches. So it was a fun filled afternoon. I would guess that these fish will be spawning in the next five days. Current areas are the place to be now. Just pitch jigs tipped with minnows or leaches and you'll do just fine. Early mornings and late afternoons pith rocky shorelines and road beds. We do still have a few openings this season so give us a call.

03/06/2011 Fishing Report
Hopefully the term come in like a lion and leave like a lamb is true. Our March has started out cold. The fishing on the other hand has been hot the last three day. Limits of Perch have been on the menu. The last three days it's taken 3 to 4 hours to get our limits, wow what fun I just hope it holds. Walleye action has been hit and miss. Some mornings are good and some just flat out suck. The pike fishing has been great. I had an old boy from Iowa get a 38 incher the other day. Well we have a ton of Ice and little snow to deal with so we should be fishing into April so there is still time to book a trip.
Good fishing.

02/15/2011 Fishing Report
Finally we got some warmer weather, in the upper 30's and even hit 40 two days now. It knocked some of our snow down to make travel a little easier these days. This weekend it's going to cool down a little bit and should stiffen the slush up. The Perch Fishing has been the most consistent bite we have had. on a average day we been getting 15 to 30 perch. Walleyes have been like a light switch on and off with no really good bites lately. The Pike fishing is starting to heat up up to this point it's been a slow go for them but it's looking good now. Keep you lines tight. We still have a little room in March if your looking at doing some ice fishing yet this winter.


01/25/2011 Fishing Report

Fishing is Up and down along with the weather. Front after front after front along with the full moon has made fishing spotty this last week. We are getting a lot of walleyes in deep water. You have to sort to get a good catch of eaters. The Perch are also hit and miss here one day gone the next. We do have two Suburbans on tracks and one Polaris Ranger on tracks so the snow isn't the issue. We have to pick and choose the areas we fish due to cracks and slush. Slush is no fun with tracks freezing up and breaking things. One thing with all the snow is I have not seen another fisherman in a week so we have no pressure this year. Well I better get back to fishing.  Be Safe.

12/25/2010 Fishing Report
Well the Walleyes have been biting good this winter on the west end. we have 14 to 17 inches of ice with 3 ft. of snow. Fun! We have ordered 2 sets of tracts for our trucks so we can go any place we want without the snow being a factor. Chris should have his set by the 1st of the year and I should have mine by Jan. 10th. Kyle will be using my Polaris Ranger with tracks that seats 4 people with no problem. If you would like to see the tracks we are running go to www.americantrucktrack.com  and check them out. We will be unstoppable now. We still have a few openings this winter so don't wait to book. 4 nights lodging, 3 days fully guided for $415.00 per/person

Keep your lines tight and Merry Christmas and happy New Year

12/09/2010 Fishing Report
Hey guys hope you guys had a good fall. Well we have 10 to 13 inches of ice on the west end of the lake and about 10 inches of snow. Walleye"s are biting really good in the early A.M. and late P.M. Most the fish are coming in 6 to 10 ft. of water. Jigging spoons like the Lindy Flyer's are working well tipped with minnow heads. Tip-Ups with a #10 treble hook tipped with a minnow is working well also.
We do have some openings yet this winter if your interested, and a great Dec. special if you can make.

Keep your lines tight.

Hot Hot! The temps are hot along with the fishing. The new Lindy spinners are still number one on our guided trips. We are using the two hook harness tipped with 3/4's of a crawler. The best depth seem to be 10 to 12 foot of water along road beads and weed edges. For the best results we are using 1 1/2 oz bottom bouncers with the new Lindy spinners. Colors that work best for me is Perch, Blue Gill and Fathead minnow. Speed seems to be key at 1.2 to 1.4 MPH/ Fishing the first four hours and the last four hours of the day seems best. You will also run into Pike and Whitebass while pulling these spinners. KEEP YOUR LINES TIGHT!

Feldner wins final Western Division FLW qualifier wire-to-wire
Devils Lake Domination
By Brett Carlson -  31.Jul.2010

Pro Jason Feldner (right) and co-angler Don Karlgaard caught a five-fish limit Saturday weighing 15 pounds, 13 ounces. Each won their respective divisions. (Photo by Brett Carlson)By Brett Carlson - 31.Jul.2010
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – As a full time guide, Jason Feldner spends over 200 days a year on Devils Lake, his favorite body of water. To say he’s in tune with its seasonal walleye migration is a severe understatement. But when the ice finally receded on Devils this spring, even he struggled with the high-water conditions.

After coming up empty in his traditional honeyholes, Feldner finally gave up and began treating Devils as a new body of water. Some of his favorite trees had been ripped away by the ice and other productive areas suddenly had an additional five feet of water on them. It took some time, but the Minnewaukan, N.D., native finally figured it out. He started putting his clients on good fish and then a few months later the FLW Walleye Tour rolled into town.   See Tourney Report below for the rest of the story....

04/26/2010 Fishing Report

     What an early spring. Last year at this time we still had ice on the lake. This year the Walleyes are just about done spawning in most areas. Fishing is starting to heat up. The current areas are still producing fish. Areas like the coulee bridges, six mile bay and where ever there is running water. Leeches seemed to be the anglers choice along with jigs tipped with plastics. Now that the docks are in at the boat ramp in Minnewaukan we are see more boats out ad about. Guys are catching fish pitching jigs along old Hyw 281 and any place that has rocks on the shore line. Again leeches and jigs with plastic are the key. Old hyw 281 is closed to truck traffic but you are allowed to walk, bike or take your ATV down them. there is a little water on top of the road, but for the people that put the rubber boots on and venture out are catching pike and walleye. With this early and warm spring are fishing is a good two weeks ahead. I would bet in the next 8 to 10 days the fishing will be second to none.

Keep your Line Tight


04/02/2010 Fishing Report
     Well I think the grip of winter is now departing us. We had our first claps of thunder this morning. As I look at the rain gauge it says about an inch. That should do it for the ice fishing. The shorelines are about done unless you want to plank out. My phone has been ringing off the hook. Are you guys flooded? I heard the town is under water? Do we still have a place to come. Yes we are still here and no we are not flooded. Yes we are getting a bit more water than last year. But not as much as they said so I think we will be fine for another year. So bring smiles and fishing gear and lets have some fun. Now back to the fishing. I have heard good reports from the few that are out ice fishing. Six mile bay, mission bay and the maulvee culee areas are doing good. We do have some run off coming into the lake around the bridge and culvert areas. Just in the last couple days I have seen some nice eyes being caught. Most guys are shore fishing or taking little boats out and putting them in over the rocks. Remember our best shore fishing months are coming up, end of April and May. We do still have some openings for Lodging and or guide service.

Thanks to all for a great winter season and we hope to hear from you soon.

01/09/2010 Fishing Report

     FISHING, it's up and down one day we will clobber them and the next day will just plain stink. Most of our walleyes are coming in that ten foot range. Tip-ups tipped with minnows and jigging spoons with rattles are working well. The key to catching big numbers of walleyes is moving allot during peak feeding times, A.M. and P.M. The mid day bite is slow and boring so if you get on the fish in the morning they should reappear in the late afternoon. Check out the fish these buddy's caught on our last guided trip. There was 14 of us and we limited out both days. WOW what a day. we still have a few opening's for the winter so quit wish'n go fish'n.

December 28, 2009 Fishing Report
We had our first group of 7 guys out today (12-28-2009) and the fishing was good for the big weather change we had. The water is a little dirty on the west end and the fish are responding to it. When we get dirty water the fish seem to bite during the day versus the first and last our of the day. Walleyes like it dark, but when the sun isnt out it's pitch dark down there. So with a lake with no night bite you can see why the fish are feeding during the day. Back to the catch we ended up with 25 Walleyes, 7 Perch and a couple pike to go with them. Check out the pictures below of a couple dandy's that we released, A 24 incher and a 28 incher.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – As a full time guide, Jason Feldner spends over 200 days a year on Devils Lake, his favorite body of water. To say he’s in tune with its seasonal walleye migration is a severe understatement. But when the ice finally receded on Devils this spring, even he struggled with the high-water conditions.

After coming up empty in his traditional honeyholes, Feldner finally gave up and began treating Devils as a new body of water. Some of his favorite trees had been ripped away by the ice and other productive areas suddenly had an additional five feet of water on them. It took some time, but the Minnewaukan, N.D., native finally figured it out. He started putting his clients on good fish and then a few months later the FLW Walleye Tour rolled into town.

Most of the Tour pros started practice by returning to their favorite trees. Just like Feldner and other locals learned months earlier, this is a different Devils Lake. The bobber bite was off altogether and the crankbait bite was just so-so.

Feldner was dialed in from the start. On day one he caught a limit weighing 17 pounds, 15 ounces – taking over a lead he would never relinquish. Days two and three were more difficult, but he still managed sizeable stringers – 15-2 and 15-13 to be precise.

“I was pulling Lindy spinners in Pelican Lake in 9 to 12 feet of water,” said Feldner. “The blades I’m using just came out at ICAST a few weeks ago. Bluegill, perch and fathead minnow were my main three patterns. Fathead minnow was better in the sun and perch and bluegill were good when it was cloudy.”

Earlier in the week, Feldner also mixed in the new Lindy Shadling, but on the final day all of his keepers came on the spinners. Behind those blades was a two-hook crawler harness.

“I was fishing the bottom of the water column and trolling at approximately 1 to 1.5 mph.”

The bite was slow early Saturday. In fact, Feldner’s first two spots, the same areas that produced nearly all of his opening-round weight, were void of fish.

“We had nothing in the livewell at 11 a.m. Then we moved to our third spot, a spot I’d been saving for the finals, and finally we found active fish. We had one 400- to 500-yard stretch where we caught all eight. At about noon, the big kicker hit. In those two hours, I bet we caught 20 or so. Once they turn on, they turn on. And you’ve got to be in the right place at the right time.”

With the addition of optional pot money the 37-year-old earned $17,750.

2nd YEAR LUND PRO JASON FELDNER TAKES HOME TITLE 2007

Congratulations go out to Lund Pro Jason Feldner and his fishing partner Chris Koth on their $30,000 win at the Lowrance Pro Team Walleye Circuit Championship held at Devil’s Lake, ND August 22-24, 2007. 

Jason and Chris are both from Minnewauken, ND and guide on Devil’s Lake year round. This makes two wins in as many years for Jason on Devil’s Lake. Jason also took the title of “Champion” home when he won the 2006 Professional Walleye Trail event at Devil’s.

Jason and Chris lead after the first two days of competition with a total of 23.74 lbs. In the Lowrance Pro Team format, only the top 13 teams advance to the final day and all teams start over at 0.00 lbs. On day 3, it took Jason and Chris only eleven minutes to put a limit of walleyes in the boat. They estimated those 5 to weigh about 22 lbs.

North Dakota is a no cull state, so you can put eight fish in your livewell and weigh your biggest five. Once you put your 8th fish in the livewell you must quit fishing and return to the weigh-in location. It only took them another hour to add three more fish in the 6-7 lb. range to complete their day of fishing by 9:30 a.m. and allowed them to weigh a final day five fish limit of 31.29 lbs! What an amazing catch.

Jason and his wife Shelle own and operate Percheyes guide service out of Minnewauken. He has also been featured on John Gillespie’s Waters and Woods TV show shown on Fox Sports North.


2006 WALLEYE TOURNEY
      I had a chance to fish my first PWT walleye tourney this year and ended up winning it on my first try. The first day I came in at 10:30 am with 28 pounds of walleye for five fish, I was in second place. Day two I came in at 11:00 am with 26 pounds of walleye to hold myself in second place. Day three took me all day to catch 21.42 pounds to put me in first place and to win the tourney with a 7 pound gap between me and second place. It was awesome! My three day total was a little over 75 pounds of Walleye for 15 fish. I guess all that time on the water paid off.
