Walleye Express Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Mark/Reel Fishin was feeling a littlle sick this morning, so we decided not to troll at all and jig fished a new spot close to the ramp for whatever would bite, in case he got worse. Caught lots of sheeps, cats, whites, along with a Master Angler Crappie that hit the cooler. Only caught 3 keeper walleyes and one shorty. All were released to fight again another day. One was wearing some jewlery.
Adam Bomb Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Nice work Dan. Give my regaurds to Mark, hope he feels better soon.
GLF Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Nice job Dan! Do you know where the walleye with the band came from?
Walleye Express Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Nice job Dan! Do you know where the walleye with the band came from? 99.9% are taged at the Dow Dam in Midland. Neither mark or I had a pen to write down the number, so he went back with the others. I guess as an after thought, we might have removed the tag and turned in the info, but we didn't.

I got an anonymous E-mail this morning chastising me for not removing the band from the walleye we caught yesterday, and sending it into the DNR to be recorded. The person also wondered why I would not simply "at least" keep the band for a souvenir, as he was told by a DNR official that only about 1 in every 1,000 walleyes caught by fishermen are banded. So I sent that person this photo with the statement "That I must be doing something right then". :eek:

You should make a necklace out of them.
Walleye Express Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 I had about a dozen clamped to my hat at one point, but that hat blew off my head and out of the boat one day and I lost a few. I was always going to have something made up with them just never decided what.
Walleye Express Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 The wife and I caned 8 more pints of walleye tonight. While they were pressure cooking I made up some walleye patties from 2 of the other jars we did earlier. Wow, first those fresh crappie sandwitches yesterday and now these golden brown beauties. God they are good.
