And all this effort will make it even more rewarding for us when we do!
Just gotta keep at it. I posted the above on this thread the beginning of July. After I had the walleye skunk really shake my confidence, I fished other lakes and caught other fish and built my confidence back up. Just recently got the skunk out of my pocket and got my first one. Keep at it, read about and try different techniques (This site is a gold mine for information, but a google search and youtube videos are worth your time too). I'm hoping the fall feed brings your first one to the net

That fallfish is huge! I've foul hooked them while trout fishing streams and brooks with roostertails, but never actually caught one legit in the mouth like that. I called them White Suckers, is there a difference or is it 2 names for the same fish? Oh and is chub a 3rd name for the same fish or is that different too?
