Awesome fish guys!
Dang, I was expecting a shot of Hillary’s cankles.
Nice fish!!!
Nice Fish!! Wish I could get out and catch some walleye
The fish on the right sure doesn’t have much of a gut for a prespawn female but it sure has good shoulders. Both beautiful healthy looking fish.

Yea the question was tossed around with it being a male or she already dropped eggs…??
Awesome fish! I lost two big ones on Friday/ Saturday. Those hooks on the blade baits sure suck.

A file in the ole arsenal to sharpen hooks is priceless ..especially when snagging rocks..
Thats what I was wondering too Louis. Both scenarios are possible but unlikely right? That would be one helluva male… but not impossible. Seems too soon for them to be dropping but not unheard of.
I’ll throw the potential for a third possibility out there. I caught a couple of eyes during late ice a couple years ago. They were upper-teen fish and didn’t have much for bellies so I kept them to eat. Upon cleaning them, I found that they didn’t have milt sacs but they did have what appeared to be egg sacs that never developed. They were just long orange-ish sacs. The fish looked healthy enough other than that. Don’t have an explanation… just an observation. Sorry don’t mean to hijack your thread.
very nice fish!!

No highjack..lol. useful info!! Thanks for sharing
Great looking fish boys!! Gonna try to get out this weekend on the Wisconsin River..
Looks post spawn to me, her egg dropper is exploded out. At 52 degree water, if her eggs are mature she will let em go. Earlier then normal but plenty warm enough water and an early full moon as well if you believe in that theory. i think we will see a lot of post spawn by weeks end..
Which plastics Louis???
