Nice! my buddy(Ryan) and I got the top spots in Walleye & Musky.
First time entering this since we had the qualifying pictures to submit in.

The walleye and musky were caught in the same 2-3 week time frame on my boat. the walleye was caught on a new moon while trolling for musky. I caught the musky on a full moon, shows the power of the moon on big fish! Unfortunately the walleye died because it swallowed 1/2 of the 10” bait and did not recover from its hook injuries :/ . She was a beast.

Here are the pics!

Thanks, I caught the second biggest first place fresh water fish. I would have won more than 2 awards but the battery in my cell phone died at the wrong time several times. I'll keep it charged this year.
