Skaneateles isn't just for Lakers

I lost a smaller one at the boat a couple of weeks ago but landed this one today that hit my dipsey rod spoon.  It felt like the dipsey didn’t release but was feeling head shakes so I knew there was a fish on.  When the dipsey planed at the surface, but still felt the weight, my heart started pounding.   Measured 25”.

DEC is going nuts trying to figure out how to get rid of the walleye, since they're impacting the trout fishery. Unlike Owasco, there's no alewives in SkinnyAssless, so the walleye have fun loving freely. I think there was a recent article, maybe in NY Sportsman?

Cleaning the fish was clearly evident of its low -fat diet.  A thick, mature fish like that typically has quite a bit of dark meat along the skin side and this fish hardly had any and what was there  was light pink and not dark red like alewife eating fish. Also had no fat inside the cavity like others. Im really looking forward to frying this up later.
