Here is my biggest walleye caught this summer. This is a 10.4 Lbs caught on an home-made worm harness at the Cabonga Reservoir, Quebec.

WALLEYE LURE MAKING
What is so unique about this trophy walleye is the fact that is was caught on an home made worm harness. I've previously ordered from LureMaking.com all products needed to prepare custom worm harness:
Look for structures while fishing for walleye
I always been successfull at catching walleye (trophy walleye!) when I concantrated my fishing on lake and reservoir structure. This big 10.4 lbs walleye was not an exception. Look at the below snap shut of the sonar to see that we were fishing right were the current was struggling in between two bays. You have to be patient, before getting this nice walleye on the line, we must have caught over 50 small pearch while jigging! Pearch are considered as bait fish for the walleye, as far as I'm concern, we were fishing right into the best feeding area of the two bays.
I can,t wait to go back to the Cabonga Reservoir for another great wallleye fishing trip!
This was not my first time fishing on the Cabonga reservoir. Over the years, I've mainly visited two of the main Lodges on this wonderful Quebec's reservoir: Cabonga Lake Lodge and the Dear Horn Lodge. The first one is located on the south part of the Cabonga reservoir and the next one is located at the north. I can confirm that they both provide good walleye and lake trout results. To give you an idea, the distance in between Montreal and the Cabonga Lake Lodge is about 222 miles.

Great fish! I have several over 28 this year, but my 30 inch has been hard to find as of yet. I can understand your pride in catching that beauty on a rig you made yourself. I make pretty much all my own stuff, and there is a real feeling of accomplishment when you get big fish on something you put together.
