Fred Rackow of Hampshire, IL with his 28 1/4 Lake Erie Walleye

Featured in this pic is Fred Rackow, a great fishing friend of mine from Hampshire IL.  He and other friends fished off a charter from Lakeland Charter out of Port Clinton, Ohio.  Captained by Chris Clemons.  They fished in water with a bottom of 27′.   They used worm harnesses and either 3/8 to 3/4 ounce sinkers using drop counts from 5 to 20.  Temps in the high 50’s with moderate winds.  Used “hammered gold” worm harnesses.  All their fish were caught in three hours.  Biggest fish that day was 28 1/4.  Best day ever..  Congrats Fred and team for a great day on a great lake.  Chris
