> Danny: We picked up a 30-incher, and then two more 30s and another 29…I said early in the day that we’re probably not going to upgrade 28″ fish, but it’s exactly what we did thanks to AIM. It was day to remember — we’ll probably never repeat anything like it.

Good thing it was a CPR format…how’d you like to carry that bag around?!

> I learned a lot from my good friend Korey Sprengel on using my electronics to find the right rockpiles for the way the current sets up on them and wind hits ’em.

> When I’m by myself I spend 50% of my time graphing and 50% of the time actually fishing. It’s all about finding the spot on the spot…then just put it in front of their face and they’ll eat it.

There’s a few more biggie tourneys coming up out there…keep it rolling guys!

3. ND: Erickson/Worden win Devils Lake MWC.

Jeff Erickson and Jered Worden’s 2-day bag of 48-14 took the top spot and $15,200 payday:

Keyed in on deep boulders and hard-to-soft bottom transitions. Used leadcore and snap-weights to slow troll crankbaits tight to bottom in 20-40′ in East Bay.

> We worked extensively with MWC anglers to develop a schedule that hits top destinations at peak fishing times.

> I’ve seen what the boys have been up to with this project, and it’s packed with some of the greatest fishing stories ever told – in words and photos

Greg Bohn: Nighttime slip-bobbers.

> [The best night lakes are] typically gin-clear, have deep-water rock structures and big walleyes. They also have suspended daytime walleye, lots of cisco and whitefish, a few weeds and deep rock bars. The walleyes we catch at night never get close to a lure during the day.

> Target hard-bottom humps and bars that top off in 10-25′. Walleyes inactive during the day know exactly which bars offer food. These bars can go from having no action before the sun sets to being super hot after the sun goes down

> Night fishing is not like daytime fishing when you run from spot to spot. There’s not enough time after dark. Have the first spot and two alternatives picked out before you reach the lake. If the first spot fails shortly after dark, move to the second. If you need to try the third, the night is over. Go to bed.

> When moon rises, you can actually feel a change in pressure and see the wind swirling to create a chop. Walleyes feed recklessly for a few minutes. It’s a golden opportunity for big fish.

> Set rigs 3-7′ off the bottom. The walleyes that were suspended during the day move over the tops of the bars, but they don’t hug the bottom. If you fish too deep, you can miss the biggest fish.

> When a bobber goes under, watch the bobber light’s direction of travel. Is it going deeper, shallower or is it staying the same as the walleye moves off? That can be a hint on how to fine tune the depth. Big walleye travel slowly.
