A couple Walleye and an interesting find..

in 2012 Anthony and I fished the walleye tourney on LH and he jigged the winning fish 5.4lbs at dawn. I preceeded to fill the livewell and placed the fish in it withing a minute after unhooking him. We were gonna make a straight run to dows and check the fish in and release it. 3 minutes later we tie up at Dows and he goes to grab the walleye, and there are 6 large dead herring floating in the livewell w the walleye, all of them were in good shape not decomposed freshly eaten. I beleive alot of these gamefish eat in bursts and theres alot of timing involved in their feeding habits. I have caught many hybrids that still had herring tails exposed in their throats.

i ate a small male last weekend and he had his GUNS LOADED. watch out ladies

i would think that by spitting up stomach content when feeling threatened by either another predator fish, or a jig in the lip, the predator fish may eat or be distracted by the fish/stomach content it spits out allowing it to swim away.
which i guess is why they always have their mouth open on the way up and outa water. and if their mouth is open, that explains why walleye rarely cut through 6-10lb test line. my guess.

IMO the fish throws up cause the last thing it ate got him in a bad spot so they don't know whats going on they just reject what is in there stomach also i am with everyone that the fish are stacking up egg and waiting for spring. walleyes don't cut threw line cause their teeth are more rounded pointy but no edges
