Thats a good walleye anywhere , especially outta the river . I think they are getting to be post spawn walleye , and they are hungry , explains the rough shape they are with laying on bottom .

Ya I agree. I got one around the same size yesterday and a monster that broke 30 last thursday. My buddy got a goldeye today too. So I guess that who keeps stealing my minnows. lol

Goldeye useually steal worm , but they will take minnows to , probably walleye stealing your bait . Another solid day. I head out tommorow for 6 days headed down to southern alberta to smack some big post spawners .

How do you not get bored sittin there with a bobber or a pickerel rig? How do you keep excitement by baiting a hook and sitting there?

it is more fun using a jig and such but sometimes after and hour of trying that its nice to just chill for a little and toss a p-rig in, plus I'm not positive but from what I've heard sturgeon don't bite jigs! The nice thing about the p-rig is you can catch every fish in the river with them except for pike mayb. I know I know, everyone thinks you should TARGET a certain species every time you fish but personally sometimes I enjoy the surprise reeling in a fish that could be any one of the roughly 10 different species that will bite a p-rig!

And yes it is more fun! I think I just get bored because I'm use to stream and river fishing for trout, where u never use bait and a rig.

I've caught pike on p-rig before. The larger ones snap the hook line.
