[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 154943, member: 218"] Back when we were kids my grandparents had a cabin in northern MN. We spent the entire summer with them. We were 12-13 and all we did was fish. If we weren't in the boat we were trapping leaches or seining for minnows. We would fish all week and just stay on the walleyes, we always knew where they were.

So on the weekend we would just go to some random spot where we knew there weren't any fish, and sure enough we would have 3-4 boats around us after a while. Grandpa kept a big old lead decoy weight tied to a bleach jug in the boat for a marker. We would take that weight off and tie it on our line and start pulling it up. The old fiberglass rods would just bend right over into the water! The whole time we would be yelling and making a scene, "Holy shit! Get the god damn net!" kind of stuff!
