Walleyes can be tough to catch when they aren't schooled up, but when they are, they can be as stupid and unwary as a very hungry bluegill... bob

Bob that's an insane hour and half stretch of fishing! Jigman that's what I thought might have been happening. Fish were smaller in size and they were all males based on what I've read about distinguishing a male from a female walleye. Very cool either way seeing a set of lit up eyes following your hooked fish but not really seeing the fish itself. Females were probably deeper or not in the area I was fishing.
