I came back to North Dakota for a wedding this weekend, and decided to take an extra day for some fall fishing on the Red for saugers and walleye. It was 40 degrees and sleeting a little and the fish were biting great, go figure. Anyway, I'm catching cat after cat casting jigs instead of the walleye I'm after. Cats on jig rods in current are fun but 10 to 15 pounders take it out of you after a while, ya know? So I started just reefing em in, not caring too much if the got off, and what you you know the next one I'm yanking away on turns into a 25" walleye! That was my third biggest all time. I pucker up but get him in feeling all proud of myself, thinking "Man, I got lucky on that one!" The big minnow still looks okay so I huck him out again and WHAM, he gets smashed a second time. Nother big cat i figured since he was really pulling, Nope wrong again, this one is a 28.5 " 8.75 lb walleye! New personal best. Had to beach em both since i was fishing by myself which made me rather nervous to say the least since I lost quite a few including two smaller eyes' earlier. I was pretty enthused when i cast out the third time, but alas I had used up all that minnows luck.
Anyways this got me wondering if anybody else has managed that nice of fish on consecutive casts before? I know I have never came close and probably never will again.
