 On my lake Erie fishing trip this year by dad and i decided to take a walleye charter. We were trolling for walleye and steelhead hoping to catch our limit by 12:00. About half way through our excursion i spotted one of the short rods with about 150ft or so of line out jumping... almost coming out of the rock holder so i grabbed it and started cranking. The pole was doing some serious bending and it felt like one of the biggest of the day. The captain and first mate were both saying "this is the 30" walleye" but sadly when after bringing it up from 75ft of water a 7" yellow perch flew out of the water. The perch was caught on a spoon called mixed veggies witch was 4inches long lol. Even though it wasn't a 30+ inch walleye or a steelhead it was still a game fish and got tossed into the cooler!

I had a similar incident pike fishing a few weeks ago on a bass lake. The lake has a few big pike that stay deep while the bass are usually shallow at that time of the year. I hook into this "monster" that keeps hugging the bottom, bent my carping rod over and peeling drag, so I was sure it was a trophy pike. When I finally bring it up, I have a 14 inch bass and a huge clump of weeds. At least he got my adrenaline pumping, I had the "shakes" for a couple minutes.
