Shake down cruise and a few walleye !
 

Launched around 100 pm on Lake Erie for shake down cruise and some early season walleye trolling. Got out about 3 miles and game on. Tried for 30 min to start trolling motor to avail! So had to troll with big engine. We trolled 1.3-1.5 mph. Wanted 1-1.2. Tried for 2.5 had some minor succes but not bad for first trip of year! Ended up 3-3. 31.5 inch. 29 inch and a small 20 incher

31 is in the neighborhood of 10 lbs which is a trophy anywhere walleye swim. Nice fish, congrats

Great fish but for lake erie it's the the exception. You can count on 10lb fish when you get on them. Gotta start looking for 13-14lbs before it's considered a trophy out there

You are correct. We look for the 33-35 inch fish they will weigh 13/14 lbs. but have to,say I never get tired of pulling 31/32 inch fish every spring. 😀

Nice chunky eyes. Love it.

On a side note I still cannot get over a picture of 16 lbs from Hopatcong that Dows got posted. That thing was an absolute scary looking cow.
