Sunday Bloody Sunday

Fished with Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s. The wind was out of the East around 10 knots. the waves were around 2 feet for the ride out and started to lay down as the day went on. The water temp is 65 degrees. Started fishing in the same spot as the last trip. We ran dipsy's set at 120 back on one side of the boat and jet 20s set at 75 feet back on the other side of the boat. The fishing was not fast and furious but we caught enough fish to keep us in this area. The second fish that we caught swallowed the hook and it bled all over the place. About two fish later another fish did the same thing, it was starting to get ugly on the boat with fish blood all over the place. About a half hour later Daryl cut his finger on the gills of one of the fish, and it would not stop bleeding. Now we had fish blood and his blood on everything. Not to be out done by Daryl, I cut my little finger the same way he cut his but probably a little worse. Now we had a bloody mess. My finger hurts so bad that I'm typing this report with one finger. Today we kept 10 walleye between 16 and 24 inches and one walleye that we put back that was under size.
