  wasn't working so I switched to a deep runner which was mid sized and greenish color. I instantly hook into this 25" walleye! I has a good guide, Keith Reich and the netter was Brandon Reich. A day to remember... good times with the other passengers in the boat Bill, Charlie, and Jackie Reich.  Nick and Gavin BASSIN it up with Bill Phipps July, 2017.      John Eggers (owner of Eggers Spinners) with a nice LG Mouth Bass taken on his new spinner prototype.   Leon holds a nice Northern Pike... summer of 2014.    Randy with his personal best Walleye... that came from one of the Best Point swim docks.   Leon gives Hoggie a nice Cat... for lunch! Hard to beat bacon wrapped cat burgers.    .
 Leon Hoppe of LeSueur caught this Northern Pike (RELEASTED) useing a jig in 17 feet of water.  Leon Hoppe of LeSueur caught this walleye also from a small jig in 17 feet of water.

Leon Hoppe of LeSueur caught this 27 inch walleye (RELEASTED)

Wellllll doggies, what a nice catch. Mason (from Iowa City) got a bit of help in landing and holding this dogfish. It was his personal biggest fish!  Hoggie with an "opener" eater Walleye. This one came off the gas dock!  The story behind the fish is a great one! I set up one of my poles with a night bobber, orange jig, and big fat head minnow. Around 11 pm on 09-30-11 I casted it off the dock and started doing other things. After a quick 10 minutes I checked to see my bobber was down. As I ran out to the dock I could see my rod was gone. At first I thought it was one of my family members and friends playing a trick on me. After 15 minutes I sadly discovered it was not a cruel trick but something took my $250 pole in to the lake. I spent the next hour and half walking back and forth between and on all the docks with a giant mag light. I went to bed disgusted and angry at myself that I didn't leave the bail open on my reel. The next morning I rushed out and started looking off of each dock. A friend of mine Matty Thorpe was out shortly after me casting a muskie lure off of the same dock my pole disappeared off of. After a few minutes he started yelling for me. I looked over to see him reeling in a open face reel and not a giant bait caster. I quickly joined him on the dock and he said it was a big fish and thought it was a cat fish because it stayed deep. As soon as he got it close to the dock we both yelled out walleye. We landed the fish and took pictures. It turns out the pole was only a foot off the dock in 6 feet of water. Matty was looking down and caught a glimps of what he thought was a cork handle. He quickly reeled in his muskie lure and let his lure sink down to that area and hooked my pole. As soon as he got my pole up the fight was on. I got my pole back and Matty got the biggest walleye of his life. We both got a story we will never forget! Loren Jannett  Here is a happy camper!  Two VERY happy campers, Duke and Tony.     Saturday May 28/2011... they were for these three Best Point'ers.  Waterville, MN is known for BIG fish! Yep... thar is Muskie in our lake too.    |
