    The fish have definitely grown up on Vermilion. I was up there at our cabin over the opener and nearly every fish we caught was over 20″. I think it is great, but can see where some guys are getting ticked that they can’t get a limit of eaters. We probably only caught about three fish in the 15-17″ range between four of us fishing for three days. I think my favorite was some guy in a nearby boat complaining and saying “with this damn slot, this lake is just going to turn into a trophy walleye lake like Rainy Lake”. I just smiled and hoped he is right!

    Great fish Dave! I have not caught one yet this year under 17″, closest I have come is 17 1/2″, fortunately I am a catch and release kind of a guy, but it would be good to catch an eater now and then!

    No, we were trolling/drifting w/ lindy rigs and minnows. You can still see the small red hook in the corner of its mouth.
