Wasn't for me either, which is why I discontinued going back there every June after I went a couple times.  The drive got to be a bit much for me too, it was 10 hours one way.  Plus I am not a big fish eater either, and half the meals up there were nothing but fish.

Yeah, close to the same here...except I'm allergic to fish and can't eat them.

Haha, ya that's definitely a good reason.  My Father's side of the family eats it literally almost every day for a week straight during their June trip.  And whatever they don't eat at dinner, they put back out on the table during breakfast the following morning after nuking it in the microwave.  BARF

 

He will on occasion bring me back a smoked filet of lake trout.  Now that I like.

I'm not into Walleye fishing myself.  My friends eat everything they catch and walleyes are always on the menu.  I have caught a few exceptionally large walleyes while pike fishing.  The lake is full of small pike under ten pounds that can get to be a nuisance.  If you throw large pike lures in Lac Seul, you will tangle with a fish worth the effort.  The largest pike I catch in Loc Seul are caught casting a spinnerbait in flooded timber.  Rainy overcast days are best.

A 30" walleye my friend caught on a musky fly.

 

My personal best - 28 3/4", also came while chasing pike and musky.

back when I could still eat fish - 30+ years ago, smoked trout and salmon was OK.

Pike from cold water was always my favorite.
