[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 118222, member: 764"] Gotta tell y'all about a strange occurrence last Friday. We're fishing Sak on the east end of De Trobiand Island and my buddy sets his line, starts reeling up the catch. As the fish nears 6ft deep we both identify it as a walleye (good fight so unsure of species & he was using a med-light rod). As the fish nears 2ft deep we both look to the left side of the walleye and see another walleye swimming side-by-side a couple of feet over. We both remarked that the second fish didn't seem scared away by the boat, our movements, nor the net going into the water to land the 17-1/2" walleye. I bring the fish into the boat and he begins removing the hook/worm from the lip and tossed the hook/worm back overboard. As he gets ready to lift the fish up to the measuring tape I notice a splash at the rear corner of the boat next to the kicker motor. We both look back to see what the commotion was and he notices his rod bent over. He reacts by dropping the first fish and picking up his rod along the side of the gunwale. He sets the hook and it's fish on! He pulls once again and the hook comes free, worm/hook flinging toward the side of the boat. That damn walleye in the water definitely wanted that worm that fish #1 got to beforehand! He followed that all the way up and remained at waterside of the boat for a good 30sec and didn't go back to the floor of the creek bed. I wish I had a video of that escapade. We were laughing and amazed how it was possible that a twin fish would hang around for so long and get that darned worm it missed a minute before. ;:;bowdown [/QUOTE]
