Walleye Fishing
Yes, gentlemen, this darling little 6-year-old girl from Chatsworth, GA, named Haley Bartenfield caught a 4.5 pound walleye while fishing with her dad on Carters Lake. No, gentlemen, we will never land a walleye that big.
Some truths hurt more than others.
I can deal with the fact that I’ll never be rich and/or famous and that I’ll never drive a Ferrari.
But it hurts to know I’ll never be as good at fishing as Haley Bartenfield, a six-year-old little cutie from Chatsworth, GA.
Haley took her dad fishing on Carters Lake recently.
One of them caught a 4.5 pound walleye.
Pound-for-pound and inch-for-inch, that would be like me catching a 240-pound, four-foot-long bass … and just about as likely.
Congratulations, Haley! You are my hero.
According to reliable sources, there are many walleye pike in Carters Lake and Lake Allatoona.
The closest you and I will ever get to a walleye is this picture.
If you cannot fish any better than I can, this description will be as close as we’ll ever get to one:
The walleye is a torpedo-shaped fish ranging from dark olive-brown to yellowish gold, with brassy-flecked sides and a dark splotch at the rear of a spiny dorsal fin.
Walleye have two separate dorsal fins and the lower lobe of the tail is tipped with white.
The large, glassy eyes of walleyes reflect light at night; the effect can be quite spooky.
