My son reeled in an "eye" eye.

Now this is something I have never seen or will see again. My son had a walleye on his line while trolling Willard and apparently had it by its eye. Needless to say only its eye came in.

I caught 1 walleye (the fish) on a firetiger shad at freeway bay. Fished 4 hours. It was slow rollin this a.m.

Looks like the beginning of a great fish story. The Legend Of Old One Eye!!!

He already gave him the name "Ahab". I like "old one eye" more though. Haha.

You're supposed to use perch eyes for bait, not walleye. So tell me, which icon best fits this story?[][] or [pirate] I'm thinking the pirate.

Evidently the eyes are keeping a little too close of an eye on the lures in Willard. A couple of weeks a go I went out and hooked two eyes after I had stopped, reeled in the planer board, took it of my line and what do ya know there was a walleye on the the end of my line. Not once but twice! My friends were calling me a lucky SOB.The second one was right at the mouth of the south marina and guess where he was hooked? Yep, right in the eye! It was a little distended but still in his head and surfed him to the net. Weirdest thing I have seen. So ya, it does happen and I guess more times than you think. Anybody else ever hooked a fish in the eye?

I've caught a few fish by the eye and reeled them in but never had it popped out with only an eye[laugh].

Those Flicker Shad are a good bait for Willard, I have never saw just an eye ball come in on a hook though unless I was using one for ice fishing.

I can see it now.....

"Dude, getting an eye-patch doesn't make you a pirate. I'm not your 'Matey' and quit swimming around saying saying 'Aaarr' all the time"

Oh, the humanity!

This would be the perfect story line for an episode of SpongeBob.

lol, my kids like the SpongeBob episode where they get "hooked" playing on all the fishing hooks!

Good to know. Hopefully, it will survive.

I'd say the chances of it surviving are very good.

I have never hooked a fish in the eye, but the nose, yes.
