There’s only three kinds of fish. Walleye Perch Trash fish I was trolling a crankbait one time on the Missouri River above Yankton. The crankbait went smooth. Couldn't feel the vibration anymore. I figured it must have got fouled with some grass, or moss. So I reeled it up to clear the hooks, and whadda you know, there's a 5lb walleye on there. And, that's the whole problem with walleyes, they don't fight. They don't hit topwaters. And it seems the only thing they're good for is eating.

I agree Marty. One of the problems we have up on Erie is dragging smalls around killing them and not even knowing something is on the line. we run alot of dipsy divers , some of those smalls will never trip the diver but when setting up a new rig or the first drops of the day it's hard sometimes to get them set just right It gets pretty important to check your baits often. The plastic of the dipsy diver can be a pain in the ass to set so last year we switched to chinook divers. The metal is much more consistent once you have it set.

All the bullhead here, "yellow bellied" as opposed to browns and blacks, have a yellow cist in the meat, that appears as a large yellow dot, never had that here 40 years ago, or the black bullheads from which that parasite cist comes. I'v eaten a lot of spring time bullhead here when I was young, as my mother's family hailed from Iowa and Grandpa fished for them every spring. Dad wouldnt eat one. They shine as a mink / coon bait though.

A 5 pound walleye isnt edible, except as that cheek and release size, lol

We're just getting started here.
All the fish that run upstream in the spring are getting going good, but we cant buy a decent stretch of weather.
And nothing promising in the forcast for next week.
