reverend Rhinelander, WIPosts: 1117 January 21, 2015 at 8:58 am #1500446 Bet they were a heck of a fight! Darn drum…
Chris Raymond Keweenaw Peninsula, MIPosts: 514 January 21, 2015 at 9:03 am #1500453 Are they any good to eat? I’ve caught them but have never tried eating one yet…and, while no Andrew Zimmern, I tend to be a bit adventurous with food.

Gregg Pfeifer Fort Atkinson, WIPosts: 889 January 21, 2015 at 11:20 am #1500526 Maybe it’s more that walleyes taste like sheephead, they’re a primary forage for the walleye in the Rock River.
