Captain John and First Mate Rick worked hard to help our family catch some walleye; unfortunately, the fish didn't cooperate. We managed to catch nine keepers and one or two undersize fish. The highlight of the day was my 16-year-old reeling in a 23.5 lb, 35-inch catfish. We also caught two nice perch and a bass. There were a couple of other fish, but nothing we wanted to keep. Overall, it was a great day on the lake; I just wish we could have limited out on walleye. The captain and first mate stuck it out until the very end, trying to coax the fish into biting. This was our first Lake Erie experience, and we are looking forward to trying it again in the future.
