[#0000FF]I have been a walleye addict for over 50 years. I hope they never have a "Walleye Anonymous" or a walleye rehab treatment, 'cause I don't wanna be cured.
I think that for most of us wallieholics the thrill is not so much in the final landing process but in the hunt, the strike and the solid hookup. Oh yeah, they are mighty toothsome on the table as well as in the water. But fishing for walleye is more about the quest than the goal.
I still maintain that more walleyes are caught by accident...by guys actually fishing for something else...than by the "specialists" who target them. And anybody who claims to be able to catch them on every trip will lie about other things too...like being able to understand women.
I've caught plenty of walleyes on purpose. But I have to admit that I have caught just as many while fishing for "anything"...with a bait or lure that has general appeal for all species in an area. Some of my biggest Utah Lake walleyes have been caught on light rods and small tube jigs being fished for white bass.
