I was also told they used to spawn in french creek and Bearup's creek.

This is not based in fact.... But I have also been told that it is probable that the SLR eyes spawn on the local structure available to them in the river. Very cool. Adds to the mystery of the SLR walleye if true.

To dovetail the theme of Gene's post, personal accountability, next to Muskie fisherman, I believe Walleye fisherman to be among the most conscientious anglers. In addition to the exploration and implementation of regulatory measure(s) to improve and protect our walleye population on the SLR we should also look at simultaneously promoting education, community, outreach, and stewardship of the great walleye. Perhaps we think about organizing A Group like Walleyes Inc with this type of mission in mind and make sure as many anglers as possible understand that we all play a pivotal role in making sure the right type of walleye fishery is here to stay for generations. Education is vital in not only opening the minds of todays anglers but shaping the habits of future fishermen.

Hahahah.... We could greatly improve the SLR walleye population by limiting the fishing days prof T, kevin, and Roybee spend on the water!! I say that most respectfully and enviously too........[emoji23][emoji23][emoji12]. They r truly skilled walleye anglers.

Does the motor run well?

Seems like there is a lot of info to digest.

http://www.istokpoga.org/Documents/managing_fish_populations.htm Here is an informative white-paper on managing fish populations with size limits.... From the university of Fla.

Puncuring the swim bladder is an effective method when releasing a fish..... This method is commonly used on ocean fish that are pulled out of the deep. I have seen a large syringe used to puncture and remove air as well as a scalpel or exacto-knife on larger fish. The swim bladder heals quickly and the alternative of not removing the air results in far more fish fatalities. I think we should always try to keep a fish if there is a reasonable question about its survival, as long as it is legal to do so. Walleye and perch are particularly vulnerable to mortality as it relates to live release.... It is an interesting topic.

Cool boat.... I have not seen a ton of whalers this size... Or inboard. Good luck with your sale.
