What a cold last day of fishing

Wel leave tomorrow in the am. Will be stopping at a lifelong friends how to get some fresh grass fed ground beef to bring home. High today was 52 degrees and rain. Rain stopped at 330pm and decided to hit the local lake one last time. Pukked up and saw a gentlemen fishing from pier, decided to ask him if he wanted to fish with me for a few hours as i was alone. Walked up and he was talking to two dnr officers. We had a good conversation and appreciative i was bringing the gentlemen fishing. They also told me he was a ww2 vet. We had a great time, boated 20 or so walleyes, 10 keepers we split half and half. He said he didnt think we would catching anything in the weather and was happy for the walleye dinner. Texted his family this photo of this 22" walleyes we released to his family member. They liked the photo.

Great story and great last trip. Hats off to you for taking the gentleman fishing AND putting him on some fish.

Tim, I thought you were just a good crappie fisherman, but looks like you can catch anything. Great story.

52 degrees high in SC? that is something and thanks for taking out the Vet, sure he greatly appreciated it.

Tim is in Minnesota not in SC. Good job Tim and thanks for taking a fellow vet fishing. Be careful on the trip home.

Great report Tim and my hat off to you for asking him to go with you. Most young guys doesn't understand that one day they may be lucky and live to grow old.

Actually i call myself a walleye fisherman, only been crappie fishing a year, but like any fish, all you need is one year to learn the seasonal patterns then learn the lake. Minnesota is challenging as you can only have one line per licensed angler in the water, its tough boating alot of walleyes with one or two lines.

i always try to bring folks out if i am fishing alone, was surprised to see him shore fishing given the cold rain, i had to bring him fishing, i wouldve been discourage but he was determined to catch fish, figured i would help him with that. It was the second day of the cold front so was confident they were biting, the first day of a cold fron the fish wont bite up there.

Great job!
