lmt out Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Had a limit with a kicker. As lundone said they were more shallow. 10 to 15 ft. Three the first keeper back. Also had one short. 3 were 17. Big one 24 1/2. And weighed 6 pounds. Probably the fatest one I have ever caught Brad N Steph, zarraspook, harber01 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoCarp Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Nice! I like the fact more big walleye are showing up again, haven't heard of the 14-15 pounders that used to show up.....with the lake strain far out numbering the native river strain... I asked a state biologist why they didn't stock more of those instead, he said they have tried, but they where troublesome to raise in numbers, thats the same strain that produced the 21..pound state record...and numerous fish in the high teens terryj1024 and Brad N Steph 2 MONKEYS? what monkeys?

jim m Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 think raising the length limit would help greatly way too many little ones taken out befoe they can grow up, it use to be common to catch some quality fish before they lowered the length limit terryj1024 and Brad N Steph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lundone Posted June 16, 2017 Members Share Posted June 16, 2017 lmt, That is a very fat fish! jim m, We have discussed length limits in the past and I too would like to see it raised to 18". Went to Bull Shoals recently and we caught a lot of 20 to 24" fish that were very fat. We did catch a lot of shorts but when most of them are 17+ they are a lot more fun. terryj1024 and Brad N Steph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchell Blehm Posted June 16, 2017 Members Share Posted June 16, 2017 I completely agree with MoCarp. The ones up the river do get much larger and I have been blessed to land multiple in the 5-10 pound class each year and always save a few scales to age them. If you compare the growth rates between the two groups of fish there is a huge difference. MoCarp, terryj1024 and Brad N Steph 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
