Since I still have to wait two more weeks for bad opener, walleye and pike will have to hold me over.  Caught a few walleyes in Sturgeon Bay today using a Lucky Craft Pointer.  The largest was this 28 incher.  I never used a LC to catch walleyes before.  First time for everything!

If I had walleye like that close by... I'd be OK with catching walleye.  It's just on the big side of "delicious", though.

I agree, the 28 inchers are definitely too big for the dinner table.  We did keep a couple that would normally be just a big larger than keeper size just because the water is still in the 48-53 degree range so the meat hadn't yellowed at all like it would in warmer waters.  The really big ones were all pre-spawn females that we want to be able to reproduce and definitely did not want to keep.  I think i've found something to fish for in the early spring time that'll scratch the itch till bass opener!
