Good job boyz, way to jig em up.......from what I know the eggs start developing in early winter and they dont mature until february, males pulled thru the ice in jan are already squirting their love juice.

They Do spawn in the spring....but egg development proceeds right through the winter.....the eggs you are looking at are immature......same thing with the giant musky from last Saturday....guaranteed full of eggs/underdeveloped. A few years ago I caught a 7 lb. class walleye off of Chapel Island and when I opened her up there where at least 8-10 baby crappies in her about the size of a half dollar.....a lot of times when you are battling the fish up, their stomachs do have contents but are automatically vomited out. Even over the summer at night, rarely is there anything in the stomach. In fact I've had them upchuck bait in my livewell while still alive....it's an automatic response to stress I guess.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

in 2012 Anthony and I fished the walleye tourney on LH and he jigged the winning fish 5.4lbs at dawn. I preceeded to fill the livewell and placed the fish in it withing a minute after unhooking him. We were gonna make a straight run to dows and check the fish in and release it. 3 minutes later we tie up at Dows and he goes to grab the walleye, and there are 6 large dead herring floating in the livewell w the walleye, all of them were in good shape not decomposed freshly eaten. I beleive alot of these gamefish eat in bursts and theres alot of timing involved in their feeding habits. I have caught many hybrids that still had herring tails exposed in their throats.

Completely normal to find eggs in Walleye, perch, pike & muskies almost ready for a spawn. They feed heavy starting in late fall to develop those eggs. If you catch one in February and press on their bellies, thet will squirt them out. Not always though, but in more mature fish yes.
