Had a couple hours to kill so a buddy and I decided to hit up a spot on the jordan river where we had heard and seen some success on walleye. This was my first time fishing the river so i wasn't sure what to throw so we started off with some 3" curly tails in a variety of colors, nothing! So we tried to bottom bounce and drop shot some gulp minnows, nothing! So my buddy tied on a rainbow tube jig and whamm!!!! 25 1/2" little over 13 inches of girth and right at 7 lbs. Not bad for the jordan river!

NOW THATS WHAT I AM TALKIN ABOUT!!!
That walleye is just like the ones I used to catch in season '00-01 on the Jordan river. Nobody believed me about catching then until they saw it with their own eyes. When they did they were fishing out there everyday as well,... with me, in the SLC valley on our lunch break, catching multi species including some top notch 'eyes.
It was the real deal. I am glad to see that fish like that still roam those waters.
The place I fished was deep into SLC and got contaminated at one point or another after I moved to another state for a couple of years. I got back and have fished it ever since a couple times a year and never caught anything but a carp "accidentally" hooking it in the back. I talked to a guy there once that told me that all the fish from there downstream quite a ways ended up floating the year after I left because someone using some kind of pumping/dredging machine, leaked gallons of diesel fuel out of a rusty gas tank. The guy who told me was hear say or whatever so I am not sure if it did happen or not, but he seemed like he knew a lot more than he should have about the whole thing. Seemed like he witnessed a pretty horrific site to me according to how many different species of fish that used to be pulled out of this particular area. Thanks for sharing Flippinstick.[fishon]

Definitely one of the prettiest walleye I'd seen for awhile. I'd really never seen the vertical bars on them in Utah until this one. It was for sure one healthy fish!

Great fish, good work! I was walking with a co worker of mine who likes to fish the jordan a lot, he said something about it having one of the highest fish per mile ratings in the world. Anyone heard that before?

You're the one who caught it, all I did was take you to the "spot" to give you the opportunity. [:p]
