sad this fish was kept. I don’t know why anyone would keep and mount a fish these days when you could have it mounted. should throw these back to keep the gene pool going. a fish like this is a major predator in a pond like that and keeps the bluegill population (and probably even small trout) in check. Nice fish though.

me a walleye man? Never! I love bass But yeah this plus moving to zumbro falls may change that.

i noticed that afterwards too. i think she thrashed in the livewell and bent her fin. no intentional marking to the tail was done. She should be fine.

it was an awesome fish. Video definitely makes it memorable. Never a doubt in my mind about releasing her. If I ever put something on the wall it would be a replica. She sure gave the smaller walleys we had in the livewell a thrashing.
