Walleyes of 2007

[BigWadeS]

Not from me, but you certainly got a nice fish there...the only thing I might say is I want to catch one that size...congrats

[perchking]

Bigwade,

I agree it is a nice fish but by no means huge. It is only 21" but fat, over 6lbs. I would have loved to see what this fish would have been in 3 years. But with it not surviving the fight I had no choice.

How do we know that isn't the KING of all fishhouses; there could be holes in the floor. Nice fish, PerchKing.

mrmnwalleye you're going to make friends fast, it looks like you just registered yesterday with two posts, how positive was your other post?

[Team Otter]

The issue has been addressed. Let's get back to photo sharing. Thank you.

This post has me thinking. What is the law if you are on a slot lake, you catch a walleye over the slot, but it isn't going to live for one reason or another?? Do you still have to throw it back? The reason I bring this up now is a few years ago we were camping on a slot lake and my oldest caught a walleye that was a tad over the slot. It ended up bleeding alot and it did a half (Contact Us Please) belly up swim type thing. We kept it and ate it.

It is illegal to keep the fish, whether they are going to die or not. I know it might not sound right, but if they changed the law so it worked that way, there would be way too many people ripping the gills out of every one they caught and using that excuse.

After we ate the fish, my wife and I discussed that. She thought it would be a waste but I told her what you posted

That's a flat-out pig. Great looking fish.

[Capt.Blaine]

Nice fish!!!

[Claud_9]

I caught this on LOTW a couple of weeks ago. It was 27 3/4 inches. Does anyone know if this a walleye or a Saugeye?

[PikeBayCommanche]

Welcome to FM Claud!!!

Beautiful Walleye. You can tell the difference a few ways between Saugers and Walleyes by a few things like the Saugers don't have a white tip on the tail. Have spots all over the dorsal fin aposed to the black spot at the base.

And that would be one huge sauger, they don't get that big very often.

[Claud_9]

I was told that it was a Walleye/Sauger hybrid. If it was, it would have been a state record.

[Dano_the_jigasaurus]

IMO the fish isn't a saugeye. It doesn't have any visible black spots on the fins (dorsal and tail) and it still has it white tail spot which saugeye typically lack. It has some saugeye looking coloration, but that alone isn't enough. The fins are typically the best marker.

Great Fish though.

[Super Black]

You to Jim!!! Looks like your "On the Spot" for those eye's this year!!! SB

[Team Otter]

Good lookin' fish and the smiles aren't bad either. I'll see if I can do some damage on LOW/Rainy River next week.

[MedicineMan]

My friend caught this fish last saturday in 8' on a Genz Grub. I know it's not the biggest fish, but it's my friends first Walleye ever.

[Team Otter]

Right on. A guy has to start somewhere. Moving forward, though, you may want to help him out with holding 'eyes.

[ozzie]

i think he would learn pretty quick without that glove.......on a side note watching one of the fishing shows and they are out of arnesons on LOW and the guide grabs a walleye to show the camera and holds it lipped like a bass......every time i see this i just chuckle at the thought of people lipping walleyes!! NICE PICTURES keep them coming.....

[Kyle Sandberg]

It may not be 07 but they don't have the 06 up there anymore.

Me with a decent 18 and a 12 inch crappie.
