I caught over 10 walleye at Willard last year trolling Rapalas at wiper speeds. If a walleye (or a channel cat) really wants to it can swim fast enough to catch up to a fast trolled lure. Appartenly, Tom Pettengill catches most of his walleye, at Deer Creek, trolling at a fast clip. He also catches many of his wipers trolling over 4 mph. When I get up to about 3 mph I feel like I am going too fast. I will occasionally sneak up to 3.5 mph, but I never seem to stay that fast for very long.<br><br>
