Let me set the stage first. I was muddin' today in the same spot I was yesterday when I tagged those nice walleyes. I was casting up current with my bobber rig and minnow and letting it drift down. I had been there for about 2 hours with nothing to show for it when another land based fisherman joined me. He set up about 15 feet up current from me and was going to cast RIGHT were I had been fishing to to start my drift. At this point I had a dilemma. Be an ass and tell him to move or cast a bit short and let it ride. I decided to let it ride and began answering his questions about how fishin' was. All was going well, until he made his first cast. He retrieved his twister tail about to where I was previously fishing before and he reared back and set the hook. I rolled my eyes as he was playing the fish and then he asked me to help him net the fish as it felt pretty good. WELL........."Pretty Good" turned out to be a 10 lb 12 oz walleye which I was surprised he released. He was understandably happy and was all chatter about that big walleye after that. As for me it was bittersweet. On the one hand I was happy to see someone get a good walleye and on the other hand I was a bit miffed. Then to add a bit of lemon juice to the papercut, He then proceeded to smack 4 more walleyes from the same spot. I managed only 2 small fish before darkness set in and we both left. I'm still shaking my head at how things work out. Tight Lines Everyone!!!
