Update
Just got back from the above trip, and it was fantastic! Perfect weather, great guide, met some new friends, and the fishing was excellent!
Our guide Tyler getting ready for day 2. When we go back, he'll be requested. As you can see in this pic, they are battling record high water levels up there.
Of course, my wife caught the biggest fish, and Tyler held them for the photo when she wouldn't. Still in the slot, but fun nonetheless.
I managed a few as well, but held them myself
We fished with a father, his 2 sons and father-in-law. Great boat partners, and we had a lot of laughs together. Here was our take from day 2.
We ate all the fish we could while there, brought our limits home, caught a bunch of slot fish, and spent most of the last day throwing walleyes back in search of our last couple saugers. Unfortunately, no trophies for us above the slot. We did watch a boat right next to us land a real trophy on our 3rd day. Believe this was an Iowa group (maybe even members??) and this lucky angler caught a 30 incher that is headed for his wall. We heard that there were 2 other trophy fish that came in to Ballards the same day. For us, maybe next time
All in all, a great trip with my favorite fishing partner. And yes, we will be going back
