Last weekend I wrapped up the open water season with a bang! I took a trip with my dad and childhood bestie @thefishguyd to strictly target big pig walleyes. The three of us have fished together multiple times and quickly broke down the lake to find the best big fish pattern. We ended up catching 40 walleye total and 21 were over 25”. There will be a photo dump coming soon! It was so successful that I have finally touched the 30” mark in the walleye category. The story of this fish and the measurements completely blew my mind. The fish went 30” x 17.75”, it was an absolute mammoth. I could have asked for a better group of people to share this experience with!

On a recent trip we caught a smallmouth that probably should have gone to the chiropractor! Never know what you’re gonna catch when you go fishing!

Had a great time targeting bass and pike the other day! The pike weren’t going that great but the bass were. When fishing sometimes you just have to capitalize on what is biting!

With the recent heat the bigger pike have started to eat just about anything! Had a great crew last week targeting a meal of walleye and we came away with 7! We got a bonus walleye while I was cleaning fish! Thanks again @pkdla @chucklupori see you next year!

We ran out of hands for the walleyes we caught! Had a great morning the other day and slowly picked off 8 walleyes. It wasn’t hot and heavy but consistent! That’s all you can really ask for

Finally getting around to posting after a busy week! The fishing was consistent with a couple slow days mixed in, but persistence paid off in the end! Still a few openings available in July!

FULL CIRCLE MOMENT: I had fished my whole life growing up for pike with my dad then transitioned into bass by learning from a friend then when I was in 9th grade Dan the man gave me a lesson on walleyes and I was hooked! I craved the sensation of feeling that tap on a lindy rig. Well yesterday his family booked him and his wife a guide trip with me for Father’s Day! I was nervous as Dan is a very good fisherman. It came full circle as I taught him about livescope and how I effectively catch walleyes pairing it with slipbobbers! We ended up with 5 walleyes and some great smallmouth! 5 walleyes in mid July on our local lakes is pretty dang good including the 24.5” caught by Diane!

When the Duncan crew calls you never actually know

When the Duncan crew calls you never actually know what you are going to target! This time we chased crappies for about 2 hours and caught almost 20 keeping about 12. After enough for some crappie tacos we switched gears and went bassing on the weededge with ned rigs and caught some nice fish including a nice ned rig walleye! If you’re looking to get out I have some availability yet so call, dm, text, or check out the website at www.skiezoutdoors.com

Day 1 of 2 started out fantastic with Jeff and the crew! We ended up sticking 6 walleyes and one of them was a 28.25” stud! We also caught around 30 - 35 bass to keep everyone entertained between walleye bites!! Stay tuned for day 2!

Yesterday @bigheineee78 and @sjrydeen and myself entered into the war on the shore fishing tournament for BSU football. It was a day of lows and highs! What started off as an odd day of catching bullheads to missing and dumping fish boat side ended with the magic that propelled us into a 1st place finish!!! The right group of fish and a bite window made it happen! Never give up and keep going!

LIFETIME FISH = LIFETIME MEMORY! Morgan, the aweso

LIFETIME FISH = LIFETIME MEMORY! Morgan, the awesome fisherwoman completed what most people spend 3 lifetimes to do myself included, Catching a 30” walleye!!!

We were catching bass and pike for action most of the day and having great success! It was time to do a little switching with boat partners and I wanted to hit one more spot with this group to get a bigger bass for the kids. A small hump that tops out at 13’ where I graphed a few large fish earlier. We got setup dropping ned rigs, jigs, and slip bobbers. I noticed a big mark off the back corner where Morgan’s bobber was and it didn’t take long, bobber down! She set the hook and reeled the fish in all by herself. Morgan elected to get a replica of the fish so the fish could swim another day and create a new memory for someone else! The fish came in at 30” by 14.5”! The spot is now called Morgan’s hump!!!

PROUD OF YOU MORGAN!
