They are the best eating fish for people who don't like fish!

I've only ever had them smoked. I thought they were delicious. Not croaker delicious, but very good.

I like them broiled in chablis, butter and garlic

We usually use the walleye for the family fish frys and keep the perch for ourself.

I ususally use the perch for pike bait. I'll eat a northern before I'll eat any percidae

We have multiple big statues of the thing here.

Garrison, Mille Lacs Lake


Rush City (the statue on Mille Lacs is bigger than this "world biggest walleye", figure that one out)

we don't have anything that cool. Just a bunch of "walleye capital" signs.

Keep 10. You will need a few as practice for cleaning

That's why I don't keep them unless they are 30 or better. Even if you know how to clean them, all you get is scraps off the small ones.

I just like the fact that they're big. They eat like a steak.

that's what I heard and that's why I never kept any. Legal pike are hard to come by where i usually fish though. I've always had a freezer full of panfish and walleye so I never worried about the northerns. But is sounds like I'm missing out.

Nice fish MB. Gonna have to guide me on some steelheads sometime.

Considering your age and inexperience with steelhead through the hole I would just give up. The learning curve is too much.

I hear ya. I like the tape measure that's still in its packaging, yet being used lol

Those are nice. I've never been able to hammer the crappie through ice. I hope you are going back to that spot soon, I'm jealous.

We have a small lake here in town that has some big crappie in it from time to time, but they taste like dog poo. Jgun and myself both have 15 1/2 inchers from there. Its something about the lake that just about everything from it tastes like crap.

People probably crap in it.
