[Kyle Sandberg]

Here's a couple form Mille Lacs.

And some dandy perch.

Great looking photos.

Hopefully I'll have some photos to add to the "Mille Lacs pile" soon. Headed there tomorrow afternoon through Friday night/Saturday morning.

[Team Otter]

As promised; just a handful of many.

These fish mean business!

Biggest of the trip; 27.75"

Ho-Hum 26"

Right at sunset - POW!

Hot Steel Victim...

i asked a fellow FMer to put a 31'' lil' piggy pic for me in the st.croix forum, and he did it for me. thanks blue. if you want to see it go to st. croix forum and it's in the three lil piggy's thread. truly an ugly, ugly, piggy. night pic so she even looks a little holloweenish.

Here's a couple from the other night. The bigger one was 29" and 11.2lbs. Simply the fattest walleye I've ever seen.

My fish was 26" and just shy of 8lbs.

Despite being in just about every forum now, a person will never get sick of looking at 'eyes like that.

Great fish Darren and PG!

I know it is in 1 other forum but I'm not counting.

I usually try to get my nice fish in at least 3 forums so you guys are behind the curve a little.

Gotta love it when you can catch an 11 lb walleye less than 20 minutes from your front door. Fishing in the metro sucks!

[Team Otter]

Darren,

"Every forum" was a stretch but the home page counts for more than 1, doesn't it?

One thing is fo sure, if a person fishes with or around Hanson and there's a camera involved, expect to be on the Internet, so look your best.

If I would have gotten a good digital photo of the 11.5 eye I caught at Alma last spring, I can guarantee that it would have been plastered all over the place.

Very nice fish Brian and a true trophy to be proud of. Thats a once in a lifetime fish.

[addictedjerry]

caught this one (28 1/16") in february, jigging for crappies. 4lb test, an ice fly and a crappie minnow.

i tried to get her back down the hole, but she was bleeding pretty badly and didn't move much. she'll go on the wall.

[Team Otter]

Always a nice surprise when targeting another species.

[Kyle Sandberg]

Great looking fish. Nice and fat. Bet she looks real nice now..

Can I guess and say she engulfed the jig and it tore her gills to pieces?

[RJT]

Heres Three nice ones out of the Saint Claire River in Michigan.

[andrew chadwick]

Kinda big to be "keepers" dont'cha think?

[Mike Walerak]

In great lakes systems you can easily be dealing with 4 lb males. I am not overly familar with this river but do know the size structure is completley different than what we are used to here in MN.

[cRaPpiEMaN8265]

RJT,

I'm pretty sure theres 4 of them fellers there. Just somethin to consider...

Ryan

[Team Otter]

Good point Mike.

Nice fish RJT.

[RJT]

yes there are 4, but three nice ones as I stated before. And yes 4 lb males are not hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Just thought I would share a few pics from a different region, I wont any more.

[Team Otter]

As long as everything is within regulation, in good taste and promotes selective harvest, you're fine. Keep the photos comin'.

Different parts of the US yield different results. People in the Midwest can't compare "keeper" fish to those where RJT is fishing or Lake Erie, etc, etc.

[Walli1]

St Criox river this was the biggest of this year so far!

[Northlander]

RJT did you zap your eye pics? They dont come up on my puter.
