I was out scouting around for fishing the FYB contest out of Everts…I have a hard time telling the size…any help out there?
I’m thinking I’m dialed in!

I took a picture of this “control object” using the same Marcum camera to use as a comparison for size.
The control object is 19 inches vertical and 4 inches wide.

I’m working up to a walleye….

Nope. That’s a quillback but there’s no denying the similarities.
February 25, 2009 at 4:08 am #752146Thank you James, I think Pete was nipping there a bit.
Pete, this isn’t Stuart either.
The one thing I did notice is that larger eyes were much spookier than the smaller fish. Maybe it was because of the shallower water and no cover.
February 25, 2009 at 9:18 am #752171If you can con Stuart into pickling that quillback give me a call……….. I’ll pass on the pickled flatnose, everybody knows they’re no good.
February 25, 2009 at 10:49 am #752175Thats one handsom Quillback.

February 25, 2009 at 11:46 am #752178OK, I’ll bite. So Brian—-hmmmmm—-are you fishing the FYB
February 25, 2009 at 11:53 am #752179No, no Rich I won’t.
It’s too hard to get bullheads this time of year.
Had you
worried though huh?February 25, 2009 at 12:00 pm #752180Yep, you had me worried Brian. I remember one Saugarama where you thought the dock was your boat. It wasn’t to bad when you vertical jigged but when you wanted to troll
February 25, 2009 at 12:14 pm #752181Are you saying I didn’t need to toss out that anchor???
Getting back to the one large walleye picture….
When I’ve gone catfishing…I seldom drop the anchor in quietly. From what I’ve observed with these larger than average walleyes…tossing an anchor in, dragging an anchor…or even motoring around the big fish holding areas will shut off the fishing completely.
This camera has shown me that while I like to yack on the river to other fisherman/friends, I’m not doing their fishing any good by motoring up to them. Cats and saugers by the dam are a different story… as a few people have said…
These fish don’t get big by being stupid!
February 25, 2009 at 12:18 pm #752182Ya got it wrong Rich,He was the troll under the bridge that Billy goat Gruff had to cross to get to the dock.
February 25, 2009 at 12:38 pm #752184Brian has scared a few small children—and some adults—in his time Stuart, that’s for sure
And Brian, if you were accidently trying to be serious then you do make a good point. A big walleye isn’t much different than a big buck—it didn’t get that way by making mistakes.
February 25, 2009 at 12:47 pm #752188OK. You two get to work!!!
Me,Im going to go fishing.
February 25, 2009 at 1:07 pm #752190I think this is the first time I have ever used this icon but it fits the situation Stuart

What a beautiful day to be on the water—or so I was told anyway 
February 26, 2009 at 1:07 am #752493Speaking of anchors…anyone know who’s rope this is?
February 26, 2009 at 1:31 pm #752647Where was that at. A buddy of mine left one near the dam last spring.
February 26, 2009 at 2:15 pm #752666If he can describe the anchor…
