I've been taking limits of eaters(15-18") and been releasing many mid to high 20s walleye's in the past 2 weeks on my local river, in my area the fishing gets prime time right now but this year cool water came early. Hopefully I can keep going thru Thanksgiving. Nice pic Hutchy

Anything between 16 and 22 inches has to go back. You can keep them over and under. Their reasoning is that the middle sized fish spawn, and the big ones don't. Complete nonsense. You look at a a river spawning run and you see two things. Huge females and a billion small males. Exactly opposite their theory on slot limits. The biologists haven't a clue

We're you pulling crank baits or pitching jigs ?

Ya, ours is 16-22 go back, only one over 22. Lol. 14 and 15" fish, may as well be perch fishing. Good thing the smallmouth are easy to catch this time of year.
