How much Shad can a 17″ walleye eat?

This is a reposted photo of a 17″ walleye in the Everts Resort cleaning house.

Ya know when a person brings one to the boat and it’s belly is just bulging??

Well, here you go.

Saved for sturgeon bait, right?

Now that just makes me hungry….Time for a few mini Snickers and a Dew

Then what did you do with the shad?

That’s crazy! Is this a recent photo, cause none of the fish up here have had more than two fatheads in their feed sack.

Oct 30, 2004 is when it was taken.

Since the shad was harvested by harvesting a walleye, it would be legal to use on the same body of water it was caught on.

Why else you you guys think I have an interest in walleyes???

Here’s a shad question for ya. What were the colors of the shad originally and do they differ from Mississippi to the St. Croix?

I’ve had success with a certain color stripe and a dot I’m thinking it matches the shad.

A person would have a hard time telling the difference in shad from each body of water. But like cows, each have a different face.

Seriously. The are the same.

Wow thats was a hungry fish.

That’s crazy. Should have weighed the fish minus the shad and then the shad by itself to see what % of its wright that walleye ate.

That is all out crazy. Never thought a fish could eat that much in that short of a time period.

Leave it to BK to find a finicky one……

what the deuce?

Ever wonder how many twinkies a 68″ Catfisherman can eat at once?

No need to wonder,it is rather apparent………..

You really cant appreciate that picture untill you are the one cleaning up the shack after several of those have been filleted!

We just kick them into the floor drain. Out of sight out of mind.

That is a ton of shad. In high school for an ag project we were allowed to raise fish and we raised 25 fingerling walleye for a school year on shiners and suckers but mostly crappie minnows because they were smaller fish to begin with, but I will say we fed the fish about 5 dozen assorted minnows two to three times a week and within 15 minutes they were all gobbled up. We cut one of the runts stomachs open before the year was out and at the last feeding he had about 10 minnows inside and that is a 7 inch fish so this doesn’t really surprise me all that much with a mature walleye. In a relatively high diet like we fed the fish, they grew about two and half to three inches from september to june.

First off that is a sauger….and there is no way….I believe that the shad came out of a limit of walleye/sauger…but in that picture theres more shad than fish! oh Brian

My guess would be it was caught on a flicker shad?

This was a hungry postspawner with a belly full of redhorse this spring

Rembrant, Dean and I are in cahoots to make millions on posting a whatever kind of fish that is with way too much shad in it’s belly.

I just reposted a photo that was taken because of the amount of shad in it’s belly.

Ever see a walleye that ate something too big and it died because of it? Happens. But I don’t have a picture of that.
