Default Walleye attack

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.



Yes, That's a good idea.
