Fish of the Week: Making first walleye a really big one

Patricia Seldomridge made her first walleye truly memorable, catching a 29-incher Nov. 9 on the Fox Chain O’Lakes.

“We had a 27-inch, 25-inch and missed a few that came off at the boat,” Brad Janis messaged. “Best day of big walleye on the Chain.”

They were fishing with T-Bone Guide Service.

Then on Saturday, Seldomridge came through again with “a giant” flathead catfish.

“Ripping blade baits on Lake Marie,” Janis messaged. “Didn’t measure or weigh it.”
