Bill Babler Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Buster had this 10# walleye yesterday along with 5 other keepers that the total weight on would have been in the 35# class. That big Gal had this LM bass in her. Buster measured it at over 14" Those walleye are playing for keeps. lonkm and J-Doc 2 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com

Members Walleye Jenkins Posted January 20, 2015 Members Posted January 20, 2015 Nice fish! Hopefully the large ones are being released. You wont find a better eating fish in the lake. Once they get above a certain size usually the quality of taste tapers off as with most fish. The large ones are far more valuable to the fisheries than the frying pan.

Ha, I guess that's a joke or a jumpstart to a discussion. Walleye are almost never released by bass fishermen.
rps Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 This topic is one continually revisted on other boards. Well meaning people state, firmly, they only keep the 12 to 16 inch "eaters' and release all above that. Others state, authoritatively, that all who eat any walleye above "X" inches make a mistake and will kill off the next generation. The most prolific spawners are 15 to 20 inches, That does not matter in TR as spawn is not the source of recruitment. Stocking is the source of recruitment. TR is a put and take fishery. Whether you keep a fish 18 inches or up does not matter. Do not keep eaters - that violates the law. Keep the few you catch over 18 inches - good eating. And, BTW, if you think any fish over "Y" inches is not good eats, drop them off with me. 5bites 1
Gavin Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Nice catch! Portion size and temperature control are the key to good eats. Cook an elephant? Let's cut into smaller uniform pieces.
