Walleye-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
It was a nice, sunny but cool morning at Marion Reservoir. I got out of the tent and made a fire so my dad could cook breakfast when he woke up. The birds and squirrels were chirping, my dad came out of the tent and went over by the fire and asked me what I wanted for breakfast I said “bacon.” So he went to the cooler to get the bacon. He opened the cooler and grabbed the bacon. He flipped his pocket knife open and cut open the package. I went and found a stick and I brought it back. He used the stick to flip the bacon over and back over again for about 10 minutes. He took the pan off of the fire grate and set it on top of the cooler and we began eating it.

We decided to go fishing for walleye by the spillway, so dad, my brother, and I got

It was almost too fast for me, but I got it. I put the hook through the top so it could still swim it had a bit of blood coming out of it not a whole lot though. I threw it out in the water on the hook I set the pole in the rod holder. I grabbed my other fishing pole and started walking down the river to fish for walleye.

I started fishing for walleye and I felt something hit the lure, I waited a couple minutes and something hit the lure again, I set the hook and the rod bent and the fish fought back. I was reeling and reeling and I finally saw it and grabbed it, it was a walleye, I had to watch out for the teeth because they are sharp and they hurt if they bite you. It kind of surprised me because people have told me that there is only flathead catfish back there. I think it was at least a 3 pound walleye, I caught a couple more walleye then put them on the stinger I had with me.

I walked back to where I had my flathead catfish pole. I started fishing for walleye there. Then my flathead catfish pole started moving I dropped my walleye pole and grabbed my flathead catfish pole taking it slowly out of the rod

    By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to two. The crappies were not biting the best, but managed to keep enough for a family meal. They were harder to catch since they just didn’t want to bite. I noticed a monster 20 some inch walleye off the fishing dock, but just couldn’t get it to take…

    They get on the move so to speak. It is at this moment that they can more surely be attracted to the fly and be caught. Our angler in this photo can appreciate this fact as his guide spotted the movement of this fish on the surface and indicated where to fish for it. Our guest, Martin Sere' caught and released this nine pounder back into the Puelo River on the Argentina Chile border. He…

    It was fairly slow going after that, with some sort of large fish following my fly or spinner in on each cast but never committing (I'd later find out they were Striped Bass). Finally, something bit and while it didn't fight too well I was excited, it was my very first walleye (very amusing considering I grew up on Lake Huron-currently a walleye hotspot). Lake Powell has no limits on either Walleye or Striped Bass due to their predatory effect on bait fish and their rapid proliferation, so I bonked this one on the head and proceeded to less-than-expertly fillet it. Trout and walleye for dinner!…

    We brought our fishing poles even though we didn’t think we were going to catch anything. The canal was very cold and there was no fish out that day but we still had fun.

As Andrew and I were walking along the trails we came across a small pond and we hung out there and discussed our days and we met up with a few other friends. Once we got to the end of the trail we turned around and started back.…

    It was a warm summer night when I pulled up in my blue Corvette convertible to pick up my boyfriend, Coleton. To my surprise, he was already standing outside, dressed to kill, as usual, but there was a string of cars lined up along the curb. He motioned for me to pull in front of the cars; seemingly, trying to prevent me from seeing what was going on. I’d heard a lot of talk about Coleton being a pimp and drug dealer, but he has a regular 9 to 5…
