Most of the people on this site seems to me run charters. If I were to pay the good money to have someone take me walleye fishing and then tell me which fish I could keep or not I would be upset. Although when I start my seaon down on the maumee I only keep the jacks to fill up my freezer. I see a lot of big females being taken every year and although I release them it is not my say who keeps what. I also see a lot of foul hooked eyes go on stringers, again not my business. I have the chance to fish as much as weather will allow because I work an off shift. Some folks can only get out a couple times a year. You get a lot of meat off them big eyes. They go for freezer fish so its up to them what to keep. I myself love to eat walleye and don't cut this out or that out, I like the whole fillet so to me a bigger fish is more food for me. If you needa special size fish to eat they sell it at kroger. This is my first year with my own boat and the guys and gals on here have been nuthin but courteous and helpful to me. Although I am all the way west in point place I still get a lot of help by reading what the fish are doing. We all have our opinions but the name calling seems a little excessive. Have FUN fishing and talkin about fishing!
