maybe the wacker is not lying i have a buddy who runs a big boat and he always catches his fish ive had him call me into the fish when nobody else is catching them he makes his own lures and weapons never trolls if he gets his limit 4 times a week with 7-8 guys now 8 x 6=48 x4 =192 fish thats 792 fish a month x 4 months thats 3168 fish a year he keeps a log book hes a charter captain been doing it for a long time now the fish are not as big the wacker says but he gets fish when most people dont he fishes the western basin for early spring then moves east for smallies and walleye around huron and pele island ive seen the fish and had days when i would fish right next to him use same lures and he would have 48 fish days and i would get a dozen or so and some of the guys he fishes with have never fished lake erie and they get there limit and some days usally weekends he goes twice a day with different clients so maybe its possible but then he has to give the clients the fish ill ask him how many he got last year now he dont limit everyday some times the weather wont allow it. I know its hard to believe and he can be kind of offensive but its possible but i would love to see some pics i seen pics of my buddys he sends them to me all the time
