Epic walleye day - 2024

My fishing buddy and I had the most Epic day of walleye fishing ever in a Northern Lake last June - Kipawa Quebec

We caught 9 consecutive walleye that were all over 27" in about 45 minutes - the longest was 33'' and the heaviest was a 32" with a huge girth.

We were jigging for lake trout near a steep shoreline in about 60 fow, with big white tube jigs, not getting any bites, so I fired a long cast towards shore and the first of the walleye hit it on the drop - a 27" er.

So we moved in closer to shore - my tube jig was torn up from the walleye - so I switched rods to one already rigged with may favorite walleye searchbait - a 5" Paddle Tail Cabelas GO TO Swim minnow on a 3/8oz VMC Sleek Jig .

First cast with it along the shoreline - another Big walleye a 28" - we continued along the shoreline for about 50 yards in 30fow casting towards the shore and caught one giant after another for 45 minutes or so - 9 in all.

Then the bite ended - we went up and down the shoreline for another hour or so but never had another bite.

The school moved on I guess.

We were at the right place at the right time - and the walleye gods were smiling on us.


I have only ever caught Big walleye consecutively like this in Bay of Quinte - I have caught Big Walleye - over 27" - in northern lakes before but always usually a one here or there mixed in with more normal sized walleye.

We lucked out and ran into a big school of all Big walleye - all the fish from a couple of year classes swimming together or maybe the same year class, just males and females ? 4 at 27", one at 28", 2 at 29" , one at 32" one at 33"

I wonder sometimes ,how many giants were swimming together that day - we caught 9 of ???Attachment 44981Attachment 44980

It’s nice when you get onto them when they’re on a feeding frenzy especially fish that size. It’s what memories are made of. Nice to see you got some photos of them.

Very nice walleye, you don’t get action like that every day.
