A few feet in an Eddy near a scoured hole below a Dam releasing water from a chute .

Thanks Slip !Still got some refining to do but it proved irresistible twice on the river . I can now change up baits at times while sticking with the spinner bead combo . 6" above the bait worked great yesterday .

I thought about keeping and eating believe me but released her .Walleyes are great eaters as you say Dick .Quite a challenge on 4# test UL rod she got me under a rock and I thought she was gonna break off but I worked her downstream a bit to the shoreline . They aren't great fighting fish for their size in my estimation but this one had the UL rod bent to the handle .
