    I know that this is a bass forum, and I am a bass guy by nature, but I thought you guys would enjoy this. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving night. Biggest was just shy of 27 inches . We were throwing husky jerks in 3 feet of water, and the walleyes would just crush the bait on the pause . Does anybody know what a 27 inch walleye usually weighs?

    Last one!! We did not catch a ton, but the ones we did catch were nice fish. The smallest one was 21 inches which was caught by my girlfriend. Not a bad start for here first walleye.

    nice eyes! At first I thought it looked like somewhere in LaCrosse but i can tell different by the smokestacks. Is that somewhere on the fox river or something? eitherway, nice fish!

    I wish it was Disney World since I hate the cold. I am going to bare the elements again this weekend.

    I tell you guys what “There is no place like home, there is no place like home!!!”

    Can’t wait to get back to the La Crosse area.

    Well, I went out to my little honey hole this Saturday looking for the elusive 10 pound walleye. I got my wish. Here are some pictures of her. I am going to put her on the wall, but I did catch some other nice fish that night with a 24, 25, and 27 inch walleyes. Hope you guys enjoy.
