I managed this nice Walleye weighing 12 lbs and  7 oz in Oswego fishing out of my 14fter.    I also picked up a Northern that was 47 and 3/4  inches out of Oneida about 10 years ago while  wading  in October for  night wallys.

i love trolling for the kings on Ontario. just the screaming of the drag when you hook a big king.
i also love the long night till 5am after 12w hours of fishing for the calico through the ice or the canals on chataqua lake.

Thank you.  There was a time when all we did was fish, sometimes 4-5 days a week.  And like August West, I've had some opportunities that most wouldn't.  Then we all got married, had kids, moved away, or passed on.  I'm lucky if I get out once a week now.  Soon enough the kids will be old enough to really enjoy fishing, and I'll get back into the swing again.
