A Night of Trophy Walleye Fishing 01/25/2025

Bryan and Payton joined Captain Pete for an unforgettable night of trophy walleye fishing on the Columbia River. The air was crisp, the water calm, and the excitement high as they set out under the moonlit sky. Armed with the newly developed HAVOC 30s, they were ready to see what the night had in store.

As the HAVOC 30s rattled through the dark waters, anticipation grew with every troll. It didn’t take long before the lures started doing their job, pulling some nice walleye up from the depths. The bite wasn’t fast and furious, but the quality of fish was undeniable.

For 10-year-old Payton, this wasn’t just any fishing trip—it was his first time walleye fishing, and she was eager to learn. She watched closely, listening to Captain Pete’s advice, and with determination, she made every opportunity count. Then, it happened—the rod bent, the drag screamed, and Payton was locked into a battle with something big.

With steady hands and guidance from Captain Pete and Bryan, Payton fought the fish with everything she had. After a thrilling fight, she finally brought her catch to the boat—a massive 27-inch trophy walleye! The moment was electric. Payton’s eyes lit up with pure excitement as she saw the size of her fish, a memory that will stick with her forever.

There’s truly nothing like watching a kid experience the thrill of fishing, especially when they land a trophy fish. Seeing the joy, excitement, and sense of accomplishment on Payton’s face made the night one to remember. It’s moments like these that make fishing so special—it’s not just about the fish but the memories made along the way.
