big eyeball
 

Was out over the weekend doing my usual striper chasing. I went over some large suspended marks in deeper water and made a few passes over them adjusting my bait depths. He hit a herring 15ft down in 35fow on a hard break line chasing some scattered suspended bait I was marking. When I felt the headshakes I knew he had marble eyes and some shoulders on him, solid 27" + on the board, CPR'd for future fisherman......enjoy the porn

Re: big eyeball
 

Anyone keep a walleye, every once in a while?

THE best eating freshwater fish:…………firm, white, flakey flesh.

NJDF&W will always raise & stock more.

Re: big eyeball
 

That is a beast on steroids! I can not wait for the big lake to clear up for the weekends with only fisherman fishing and bait and jigging for the fall! You always seem to know where to fish and catch the big ones, Good Job!

Re: big eyeball
 

That's one porky eye!! Happened to miss out on about a 7or8lber outta the river a few days ago, lil smaller than urs. Woulda been my pb eye, is that ur heaviest? Nice fish, nonetheless!

Re: big eyeball
 

Nice...

Re: big eyeball
 

thanks guys, was a nice way to start my fall season.....wasnt my biggest, but top 3 for sure. This fish was on skinny side for its length, in 2 months he would be pushing 9-10lbs for sure with all the herring hes gonna eat this fall haha

Re: big eyeball
 

I caught a similar sized walleye, yesterday wet wading the Delaware River south of Frenchtown, ........my pb!

I had caught 4 smallmouths up to 16” on my fav. lure: Rapala # 9
original floater rainbow trt.

Then @ dusk, in the middle of the river perched on the edge of a rock shelf,
I hooked the first one: a 22”er,………then a few cast later the abovementioned beast.

I don’t carry a net. So, I positioned myself below, & eased / landed them up onto the shelf.

They don’t fight much, but they are strong! I call them “River Rhinos”. With formidable teeth, dorsal fin spines & spikes on their gill covers you have to carefully, & securely, pin them down to remove the lure. One of their head shakes can draw your blood.

I kept the smaller one.
