Thats some nice size fish that you and BigBucks caught today. Is this a fish story? One day on the water with BigBucks will ruin a guy,you will pick up all of his bad habbits.
I made it out with FishingPro today. Started about 7:00am we caught and released 8 (6 wipers & 2 walleyes) before 10:00am then went on a dry spell for the next 3 hours. At 1:00pm the bite turned on catching 4 and loosing 2 in a half hour then picking up another 6 from 1:30 - 4:00. The wiper bite was on for the first part of the day then the walleyes started hitting. We caught 6 wipers and 10 walleyes plus we caught BigBuck3333 spying on us with his binoculars.
Heres a couple picks from today there not our biggest but not too bad. Them walleyes can kick up a pretty good rooster tail.

We thought you were kidding about the pop gear Mike but decided to give it a try. After catching 15 wipers and 5 walleye we decided to call it a day, our arms were just too sore.[  ] Oh yea, got this 27 incher to round out the day.

I love it when it gets this close to the tourney....everyone is so full of BS about the wipers! Fun for sure. Can't wait till saturday is over so we can get back to the "regular" fishing stories/lies ]

I'll be glad when the tournament is over also, so that I can ask everybody what the heck they are catching them on...I launched around 9:30 this morning (after hitting Pineview to put in my dues there) and trolled, and trolled and trolled and trolled between 2.5 and 3.5 trying all sorts of cranks, rattletraps, and I even tried pop gear. Tried my secret spot (which will remain a secret for now even though it produced zip), and I tried the light pole, island, feed lot, all the old favorite places...and all I have to show for my work is one 19" Walleye (first of the year for me) and a little 6 inch Wiper in the north marina pulling out. I had to take one break between 1:30 and 2:30 to pull out of the south marina, go fill up my boat gas tank, then re-launch at the north marina. I did have one possible nice fish on...that spooled my line before I even noticed it. Dang two pole permit. I have a hard enough time keeping track of one. Need to have the clicker pole set out the blind side from now on! I don't know if it was a Wiper or the bottom(snag), but I had a wiper do that to me last year. This was my 4th trip to Willard and at least I caught a fish this time, but I'd sure like to know the secret lure everybody is using to catch them!

Brandon, I told no lies in my post. But after looking at Wiper Hunters corn husker I know what you mean.
I hope the fishing stays just the way it is, you really have to work for them but our team is on a couple good schools.

I'm getting a kick out of these big wiper stories, you guys probably had the new state record. The current record is 26 inches long and wieghed 6lb. 11 oz. The catch and release record is held by a co-worker and is 23 1/4 inches. Keep these stories comming, I luv em.[ ]

Me a Corn Husker, no I think you have me  with Petty4life. I'm a wiperhunter and it is very clear what the hot gear is. You can even see it in the background of the picture that Fishnpro40 posted. Looks like pop gear to me but all kidding a side this really is a picture of a 27 inch wiper and I did catch it. Just don't want to give away the back ground scenery.[cool]

Curt I am not calling you a corn husker, the area you caught that wiper makes the wiper a corn husker.

You got a good memory my friend. It sure would be nice to see someone catch one that big next weekend, they could break the state record and maybe win the tournament at the same time.
