Trout fishing turned MONSTER walleye fishing!

[The Birdman]

Hey guys,

What a crazy night! me and a buddy went trout fishing at dusk to one of our go-to spots. Got some trout and we were about to pack it in because it was pretty much dark out.
I decided to take 1 last cast…..BOOM my black and gold panther martin gets slammed and my 4 LB flouro start screaming up and down river……i thought it was a brood stock on steroids….. nope- big WALLEYE ! i was in disbelief but after thinking about it…it made sense.

I remember the freshwater digests stated walleye at this time "must be returned to water immediately" and so we took a quick photo and let her go of course. no weight, no measurement, I would much rather respect these beautiful fish and let them do their thing then manhandle it to get weight and measurements.

I took 1 more cast and again….. boom again walleye. same deal, quick pic and back she went immediately. I was done after that 2nd fish.
Gotta respect these babies especially right now.

What an awesome night
