New SWAT record

gramps73 · #1 07-13-2010, 07:40 PM

Was lucky enough to net the biggest walleye in the SWAT history on Sunday. With one hour left in the turny and no weighers yet we headed back and low a behold along came a 82.5cm WALTER...

we went from last to 5th in one fish..
I will try to get pictures in the morning to post..

WOW, congrats man. That's an awesome fish. So the bite was good but just little ones?

Congrats to you guys for hooking that hog. Me and bob seen you net it from a little ways away but didn't realize it was a monster.

Hey Gramps, nice fish, you must be Dans partner. What a difference 1 fish will make on a slow day, we managed 1 legal fish on day 2, we were hoping for more legal eyes but that was not ment to be.
This has been the worst year SAWT has had since the start 13 years ago as far as bad weather , and bad bites on all 4 tournaments. Next year will be a lot better.
Again that was one good fish you fellers hooked on to, congrats again.

Hey mustang,

We fell apart big time this tourney. We couldn't find a legal even if we payed for it. Worst tourney in a long time for us. I was hoping to hit the aya this weekend and maybe redeem myself but I don't have a kid to take with me anymore since the one I had lined up ended up backing out. Wasn't really a kid haha since he is 17 but its nice when they can tie their own hooks, bait their own hooks and take fish off by themselves. I guess I will have to head out to another lake and hammer them alone this weekend instead.

Nice work guy, thats awsome. Its amazing how one fish can turn a tournament around for you. Let alone a pig like that. We had one good fish at Ridge, not even close to 87.5 but all the same it got us 5th place. It definatly helps on those tough days to keep that in mind.
