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.

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

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. smile.gif

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.

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.....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
