Went out fishing for the first time on Battle Lake for Walleye and Pike. Took the family along for a few hours on the lake one beautiful afternoon. The water was high but the launch was still difficult to navigate. Had to sink the truck basically to get the boat off of the trailer. Just a warning of caution to those with larger boats. Once on the water though the fish could be seen swimming along the bottom in the clear waters of this lake. The pike fishing for hammer handle size pike was one after another. If you were able to keep it away from them you also had a chance at catching one of the beautiful walleye in this lake. A great few hours was had by all. The biggest pike was 70 cm. The swimbait that was used was a Big Hammer 3 inch tipped with a minnow tail.

Sorry for the background noise and babies... that won't last long and I'll miss it more than you when it is gone!

It is a beautiful clean lake for sure. One of the few places I go in the area. Fish are safe to eat too:) GREAT pictures!
