This has been the norm for at least 3 years now. Three years ago during open water i caught a 30 1/2" walleye while fishin for crappies. The following year a friend and I caught a 29 1/2" and 25" respectively also while fishing for crappies. The funny thing is that they all were caught in the same place that all of the fish this year have been coming from. And the pics that MSmith is showing are ALL from this ice season.
