Slow night but managed 1 good fish at 9:30pm
Buddy got this 8.6 LB just under 27" boatside. Super thick girl.

beautiful eyeball, thats a solid fish anywhere!! Ive noticed the same thing this year, they are either 20" class fish or 26-27s, not many in between. I think alot of ppl are taking advantage of the nite bite and too many eyes are hitting the dinner table these days, Id like to see the bag limit down to 1 fish for a few years

I would second that. I know for majority of my Eastern Europe friends that is a fish of choice and boy they would jump overboard before letting one go. Amazingly they do stick to the bag limit, but that's probably because they got enough tickets for over limit already.

This girl was released ofcourse. she was pissed she got caught, swam off with a bad attitude.
Yup, IMO if your gona keep walleyez keep the small guys. like under 21" especially in NJ lakes. taste better anyway. lets try and grow a trophy people. especially in our lakes :D. everybody knows the bigD has to have a 15 LB'er lurking.

Great looking Eye! Congrats to the angler that caught the BEAST. Pennsylvania Eyes taste better. 5 fish @ 15 or greater is a bargain. Nothing beats the taste of those 15 inchers. Good catch! Walleye bag limit down to 1 fish sounds good to me. Why not make it 1 fish between 18-22 inches to help the fine fishery we already have!:D

[Esox Luciano]

Some serious fish ya got there Birdman!! Seems like we gotta roll with you to find them big girls. To you and your buddy...GREAT CATCH!! Keep them biggunz coming!

[Jigman13]

Oink!

I loves me a big girl! Lol... Nice going.

[GetANet]

She's a tank for sure never got one that big my PB is 24" so far.

[AndyS]

THAT is one nice walleye !!!!!!!!!

All game fish could benefit from a slot but let's be honest. Probably won't happen. We can only try to do it personally for ourselves. I usually use the skillful angler chart as my guide. Anything bigger released. I even threw back a bunch of perch over 13" this ice fishing season.

Big fish, they lay more eggs, they have better genes to grow bigger and faster (most likely) or they're just really lucky haha. Plus small fish taste better!
