I've caught some walleye, none like those. They are some beautiful fish, whenever you caught 'em. The time stamp on the photo says 2019 - just sayin'.

Very nice William and Penny. Great first catch. I agree the 18" long are better eating. Was the length on that larger one, 24"?

Those are both very good sized walleyes - they won't all be like those, but man, that is awesome.
I think you might have a new hobby!

Some of the better eating fish you can catch! Just make sure to get the bones out and cut the fat strips out so there is no brown on the filets.

Beware!!!
Walleye Fishing has a strong reputation of being additive.

Nice fish, how many have you caught since 2019?

Really nice catch, Walleye are great tasting fish.
Has anyone noticed that the scales on a fish represent the texture of the meat when it flakes apart after cooking, compare carp (I love carp smoked) to trout (I love trout no matter how it’s prepared just like walleye) the meat on a carp has large flakes of meat like the large scales while a walleye and trout have smaller tender meat flakes.
By the way Northern Pike have small scales fights like a wild bull and are extremely tasty if you can learn to clean them and get the Y bones out.

Welcome to the world of the finest eating fish in the world. Oh, by the way, that comment about marking the
spot on the side of the boat doesn't work. Mark an 'X' on the water instead next time!

Now wait.... I tried both of those and neither one worked. I was told you have to put a W there so the right fish knows where to find you.... That’s what I was told anyways...
