On June 19th I was viciously attacked by this walleye while paddling my
hydrobike on the Mississippi River near Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

The attack was unprovoked.... I was washing my lures on that sunny day. I
like to keep my lures shiney and clean, so I was dragging them one by one by
one attached to a string while paddling on the river. Apparently the fish
was angered by the fluorescent orange number 5 Meppes I was cleaning.

It was really scary! The fish grabbed the lure and tried to pull me off my
water bike. He kept shaking his head and pulling hard and wouldn't let go.
I was very brave. However, I now wash my lures with soap and water in the
sink at home.
