I’m not allowed to go crappie fishing anymore. :(

I learned about it after cleaning a lot of walleyes.

Also search for Walleye Wings. Few videos show how to remove this tasty piece off the fish. And lastly, search for Walleye cheeks. Its amazing how much meat you can get off of one walleye using those tricks.

I need to get out soon. Nice pictures of your fish!

Had a great time Jake. Judging by the fact that we caught fish in 5 FOW, I think the summer bite is on.

I zipper the fish mostly cuz that lateral line (reddish/brownish flesh) "is where the majority of the mercury resides, and it's also the part that tastes the most 'fishy'.".

From what I was told.

So I "zip" them.

And cut out the cheeks, of course!!


Nice 'eye, Jake!

It's good to catch anything, Except GAR. That's the fish that is always waiting for me.....

Walleye is some good eating fish! If you think crappie fishing can be tough, walleye fishing will drive you nuts. LoL That's what the guys in SoDak told me.

That walleye would make a couple good sandwiche.

We really didn’t care if we caught fish today, but the bite could have better. We did a blend of scoping and dipping.
We had a few in the boat and here’s where thing went wrong.

I talked the wife into frying it up the way she likes….and now it’s her favorite. She’s says I have to take up walleye fishing.

HOLY CRAP! Pretty sure this is the last time I was fishing.... Thought this day happened in July. 2 months worser than I though.
