Thanks Mark. Not too familiar with northern species.
I just realized Pickerill is a friend of mine and Pickerel is the fish.
My friend has no dorsal fin. lol:

Hmm.. neither Pickerel or Pickerill have a dorsal fin. Seems to keep one from being hung on the wall.

Anyway, I didn't know it was a Walleye, as I've never caught one. I've eaten a few. Didn't look like a Walleye then, either. widegrin

Evidently their hypnotic stare didn't work or they wouldn't be on the wall. lol:
Nice trophy's, all of them. Congratulations. (Looks like a 12 and 10 pointer.)

Aren't walleye usually half that size. Sounds like really huge fish. Congratulations.

In a way but the world record is 25lbs, just like a bass, these are trophies but most caught are under the 5 lb range depending on where you're fishing and what time of year.
