Great pics.

The largest I've caught was 29" trolling a crawler harness.

I sure would like to get some like you've got.

very nice.   Can't wait for Ice.   160 days to go.

Nice pics wish we could citch fish like those in s.d.
Hey weiner how many holes does it take to troll a crawler harness?

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: Bird-Watcher on Jun 24, 2010, 10:50 PM

 A 29" is a fish of a life time! I still haven't broke the 29" mark yet. I am hoping to this year. I only seem to catch 28"ers. 160 days..... and counting, quite impatiently if I may add.

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: Wiener on Jun 25, 2010, 07:27 AM

I have 30" set as my goal for a fish mount. (replica)

It takes lots and lots of holes.

Making turns is the worst, and people get mad when my planner boards snag their tipups ;D.

Here's a pic of my dad's 32"

WOW, very nice!
All them monsters in just two seasons  :bow: :bow:

Them walleyes are looking pale, are you fishing shallow water or just murky water? Maybe Im just used to seeing dark coloured and blue walleye up here in NWO.

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: pikeking on Oct 25, 2010, 03:20 PM

Nice fish guys, I have yet fished waters that hold them. Maybe this season I can find them.

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: greenbackhunter on Nov 07, 2010, 06:48 PM

rickyl1968, the walleye in the pics are from lake winnipeg. Trust me... they are the most vibrant, beautiful lime green colored fish you will ever see! the base of lake winnipeg is limestone, they take the color from the forage base and the limestone.

Post by: Bird-Watcher on Jan 27, 2011, 10:01 AM

 So I figuered why not just post pics of nice sized walleye as we catch em. Why doesn't everyone else do the same. Post em as you catch em. By the end there will be pages of walleye pics.  ;D

Awesome fish!  I think I might have seen your double portable out this past weekend when fishing.  I was driving my Snobear around looking for a few nice ones.   Ok to add some more pics to this thread? Thought Id ask before adding.. ;D

 Oh totally! Thats what its all about man, lets see what you got! I was out on Saturday, don't remember seeing a snow bear, there are a crap load of tandem quickfish tents on that Lake, lol.

my 30"
(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/corny132000/IMAG0472.jpg)
My biggy of the weekend...33" inside but the pic I took outside with the -30F wasnt the best to big a hurry to get her back down the hole.

Post by: Bird-Watcher on Jan 27, 2011, 07:57 PM

 Wow 33 and 34! That is unreal. I try to never have the big girls outside for longer than 10 seconds, or their eyes freeze and they are toast. So what depth and presentation did you find to work the best this past weekend?

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: corny13 on Jan 27, 2011, 09:18 PM

Rereading my post... ok I exaggerated a bit  they were more like 32+ and 33+ "  but closer to the next number.  I agree about the risk of damage to eyes... might have been 20-30sec outside, pic holding out the door and on the ground and then thrown into the hole ASAP...there was no frost on eyes...

Title: Re: A Walleye Photoshoot! (pic very heavy)
Post by: AtlBraves12 on Jan 28, 2011, 11:34 PM

very nice fellas...saying I'm jealous would be an understatement. I'm still hoping to one day catch a 10+ pounder for the wall. Never been up to Lake Winnipeg but I hope to make it one day and catch a couple like the ones pictured so far. Tight lines   :icefish:

No, she had inhaled a bait and was gill hooked so she was released to the broiler.... ;D   BTW  very tasty!!  I do release almost all big eyes I catch but if they aren't going to survive...you should enjoy them. :)

Havent gotten up to fish for your beautiful Greenbacks, Bird-Watcher  but got out this afternoon with the Snobear and ND still has some nice fish just a bit different colored.  Here is my buddy's big one from tonight, the others were nice 2-4lb eaters.
