last night i could have sworn that i was pulling a walleye out of my favorite bass hole . had a few hit my offerings there before but haven't landed one yet .
on first cast into the hole a slight tug then , wham ! the reel started screaming .that's no bass i thought , for sure a marble eye , untill the net came up with a 18" brown trout . man that took me by surprise !
of course my lifetime surprise fish was a stergon as a kid , my dad thought i had a pike or a big cat on , untill it started to pull the canoe out into the lake , surfaced one time and scared the stew outta me and dad , it was almost as long as the canoe itself .
whats your surprise fish story ?
