This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

NEW PB at BOQ (Nov 20th)

Post by Smitty »

Well I finally got out on Quinte with ET....and it was well worth the wait.

It was a slow day - but I did manage to shatter my personal best - with this great fish.

Image


It was 11.5 pounds and 29.5" long.

Here is a shot of the mouth of the big fish...

It came on a Clown Yozuri minnow

I could not imagine reeling in 10 of those in a day - although the quality equipment ET uses - made it a great fight - the G-Loomis rods where really great - you could feel every head shake the fish made.

Thanks to Sheldon for helping me shatter my old PB of 5 pounds...and showing me the whole planer board system - it was an excellent trip.

We met up with Hoss, MT and FFF at the launch to top off the great day - it was great to meet you guys.

Thanks again ET....this will not be my last trip to Quinte.

Smitty,
Glad we landed a personal best for you. It was starting to turn a little ugly out there when the wind came out of the North. As always I love to see the reaction first time quinte anglers make when they first see a walleye a few feet from the boat...Smitty did not let me down! I think it was something like "WOW!...look at the size of that walleye"

Glad you liked using the G-Loomis walleye trolling rods, they sure make a difference with those big Quinte eyes... :wink:

Hopefully we can get out again in the future and beat that PB...

cheers'

Congratulations on a really impressive fish. The picture came out great, too. A super keepsake of a memorable trip.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
