    When ever I keep Walleyes to eat,I always keep 15 to 18 inchers and everthing else goes back.For Saugers its 14 to 17 inchers.I wish everyone would try this.I live down river 300 miles so we have to protect our resource more.

    Right on Korn, and welcome to FTR.
    I agree with you. I only keep 2 or 3 fish, and only when the little lady says she would like a fish dinner. My own self imposed size is 16-17″ for those couple of fish. see you on the water. Jack..

    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to use the internet and you won’t see him for weeks.

    I love those 1.5 to 2 pounders myself. Like Jack, the only time I keep them is when Momma wants a fresh fish dinner. I enjoy just dressing them out and putting them on the grill. Tight lines and Good health………Tony

    River rat,

    How do you grill the walleyes? So far, I have not had good luck doing them that way.

    Hey there Dave.

    I bought a vegetable and fish rack for the grill. It is teflon coated. It works great. The fish doesn’t stick to it at all. I believe I got it at Bed,Bath and Beyond…………Tight Lines and Good Health……Tony

    Dave,
    I wrap my fillets in foil w/ slices of oranges,lemons, and onions and a couple pats of butter. Put them on the grill for 10-15 minutes or until flaky. It stays real moist and the flavor is outta sight. And you can eat alot more of it than batter-fried fish. I’ve done this with all kinds of fish including bass, crappie, salmon, and lake trout.
    Try it, you’ll like it!

    leave the skin on the fillet…rub a little olive oil on the flesh side…season with cajun seasoning…garlic salt..lemon pepper…whatever sounds good to you. Grill skin side down till opaque flip for about a minute then enjoy!

    Fillet the walleye….(why pick around the bones?) wash and pat dry with a paper towel and rub with softened butter (Both Sides)…season with your favorite spices…(Both Sides)
    Me? I’m partial to McCormics line of seasonings… create a tinfoil “Boat” using heavy duite tin foil when your charcol is ready push it all over to one side and place your “boat” on the other…lay down some hicory and apple wood chips and cover…shouldn’t take more than 6-8 min. to get done if your charcol is hot….most people over cook there fish …Its done just as you can “flake” it with a fork….
