n,

The explanation is quite simple, really.  There are 2 reasons for your incredible success catching walleyes from camp:
1) You were wise enough to make an appropriate sacrifice to the great Brad Lake Walleye God, remember?  Tossing your 1st pole into the depths (all 7 feet worth) like you did was an incredible stroke of genius OR act of faith for which you were duly rewarded.


Upon further imagination I have come to the revelation that I did not drop my rod out of the canoe,I now am certain that the grandmother of all Walleye came up from the deep and reached up to my jig dangling over the gunnel and quickly pulled my  rig over the side as I put a previous catch on the stringer having been forced to fish as others were having trouble filling out the supper menu.
