And since my client popped a 29" walleye last Sunday, I was anxious to get out and hit the spot on the spot again asap.

Wednesday, I finally couldn't take it anymore and left work a little early in the afternoon.

This large "Half Tail" walleye is the result of that quick afternoon trip. My new personal best walleye from Lake Wisconsin put up one heck of a fight. She hit the tape at 30-1/2 inches long and was released after a couple pitures.

I would love to hear about it if anyone else ends up catching her. She has a pretty distinct tail which doesn't seem to affect her ability to put up a great fight.

Unfortunately, due to a buddy of mine who is fishing a local tournament on Lake Wisconsin next weekend, I am not going to divulge any information on how, where or what with at this time. Sorry! Hope you all understand.

About The Author: Joel Ballweg

Company: Ballweg's Guide Service

Area Reporting: Lake Wisconsin, near Madison, Wisconsin

Bio: Hi, my name is Joel "Boog" Ballweg and I run professionally guided fishing trips primarily on Lake Wisconsin. I am a life long resident of this area and grew up fishing Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river. Ballweg's Guide Service was started in 2003 and has grown every year since. Lake Wisconsin offers excellent fishing for walleye, sauger, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegills and white bass. We target walleye, crappie, bluegill and white bass. On average, I will spend between 75-100 days fishing on Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river each year. Lake Wisconsin covers approximately 9000 surface acres and it is the furthest down stream reservoir on the Wisconsin River system. It is located about 30 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. A strong network of local anglers and several other local fishing guides is an added benefit of growing up in this area. These guys know whats going on out on the water and sharing information helps all of us stay on top of the latest action. In addition, if you have a large group of anglers, we can arrange with the other local guides to accomadate you.
