I'm curious to see what happens as well since they put all the fish they could catch out of Easter into it. My dad caught a 9# walleye out of Easter back in '97, they were in there.

I didn't know they put the fish from easter in there.
I'd be in shock if i caught a walleye out of the fort yet very excited.

Was out there yesterday afternoon- couple feet from shore real thin but then good, middle had 10 inches. Bite was ok till I put a hook stuck under my fingernail , trip to doctor and got it out!
