The Search For Waldo is Over!

[MudCat08]

Found em' and they were hungry! Got them all in one hour and then the bite shut down as soon as there was first light and i could see without a flashlight...amazing how sensitive these walleye are!
Finally able to cross them off the list :D All fish were released to fight another day. Biggest walleye was 21" and 3lbs.

Got to the Delaware River around 6:30am and fished until about 7:30am when it was first light. Caught one walleye too small to measure, then the 21" one, then a small rock bass took the lure that was the same size as itself...after that caught an 18.5" walleye, and finally a 17" one, then lost a smaller fish that felt like a walleye. Then threw another lure after sunrise (around 7:30am) and got probably the most perfect smallmouth bass I've ever caught. No torn fins or anything! Called it an awesome morning and went home.

Jigman was absolutely right, they've been biting the whole time, I just never fished the correct spot and time.

First Walleye report! Phenom! Love it! Congrats on an awesome catch dude! :D

Thanks a bunch guys! This was indeed the first time I caught walleye. After a lot of reading and trying different spots, finally found them. Felt accomplished after this morning compared to many failed attempts prior.

Time to move on to other species for 2017. Couldn't have done it without some of the tips on here, thanks!

Good fish and nice pics, congrats on crossing them off the list. It took me a while to figure them out in the beginning too, but the first is always the hardest, as you saw! Good stuff!
