With our photo finish last week we had an entire week to contemplate our first appearance in the walleye league fish-offs after three years finishing in the middle of the pack. To be quite honest, we had set a goal early to break 100 points, and after our poor showing back in week 8 we knew that we had our work cut out for us. We had to average 10 points the rest of the way and we managed to do better than that with some good luck on a couple of less-than-stellar nights. So when when we reached the final night with a legitimate shot at making the fourth place spot we added one last goal… make the fish-offs. With this in our pocket, we entered the fish-offs with the attitude that we just wanted to catch a few fish and do well enough to sit somewhere in the middle of the pack when we weighed in on Thursday night. The final two nights would feature 8 boats that managed to finish 13 weeks of fishing with some pretty good point totals. These guys all know how to fish, and for any one of them to enter fish-offs thinking they had anything sewed up would be wishful thinking at best. If we were to hold fish-offs 10 times in a row with these 8 boats, you would most likely get 10 different results.

We spent the past week doing a great deal of fishing. We focused on two lakes, Bemidji and the little lake we all knew we would be fishing this week. The former produced some great fishing, including the nice 18 incher in the photo to the left. The latter produced mixed results, but we found a couple of spots where we figured we could at least pick up a couple of fish. On the line was our precarious one point lead for fourth place overall.
