Wow, I had no idea there would be a reaction like this. Let me take a minute to try to explain and try to answer everybody's concerns. First, everything I posted about my catch on Erie is 100% accurate and true. We were on Lake Erie from 4/19 through 4/25. Myself and 3 friends caught over 140 walleyes over 7 lbs. I have dozens of photos and lots of video. We caught and released fish all day, only keeping fish that were gill-hooked or looked like they wouldn’t make it. At the end of the day, when we reached our legal limit, we stopped fishing. We had many doubles and triples of fish between 27 and 32 inches. We did start the first day dragging crank baits because that’s how we’ve done well every other time we fished here, and so that’s how the guys I was with wanted to fish. After we had a good morning, and everybody was satisfied that we had caught fish I convinced them to give these new Mepps Trolling Rigs a try. It is absolutely a fact that I helped Mepps to develop these lures. I wasn’t trying to hide that. Like someone pointed out, look at the Mepps hat. I want to be clear that I am not paid by Mepps. But it’s also a fact that we had an amazing week of fishing these lures. I didn’t mean to make my post sound like a commercial, but I wanted to give you all the details about my experience. I assumed with the results I had people would want to know the details, especially since a lot of guys don’t typically think about dragging harnesses this early in the year. This experience was an eye opener for me too. I’ll attach a couple more pictures here and I did send the videos to Mepps. I think they’re going to edit it together and put something on their website, hopefully soon. Like I said, our results were REALLY good, so I thought other walleye fishermen would want to know.
