My thanks to Wilderness North and Makokibatan Lodge staff for a great week of fishing and on June 15th my personal best 30″ walleye. My cooler buddy Bob and I caught so many of those beautiful eyes in nonstop action, we lost count. I had many exciting times using a light action rod, 8 lb test and a jig and twister tail, did I tell you I caught a 30″ walleye on that rig?
