JOHN;; MOST SAUGER I CATCH; ARE IN THE ONE TO TWO POUND CLASS;; BUT SEVERAL;  5 POUNDERS; ARE NOT UN COMMON;;   ANYTHING BIGGER THAN THAT; I HAVENT HEARD OF IN MY AREA.  WHEN THE WEATHER IS AT ITS WORST;; SNOWING;; RAINING; SLEETING; COLDER THAN HECK;; SEEMS TO BE THE BEST TIME TO FISH FOR THEM ;; IN VERY FAST WATER; USUALLY BELOW A DAM TAIL RACE

I have only eaten Walleye two or three times and I agree Carl.Fantastic tasting fish like Perch .I want to target these fish at a local lake I usually don't fish . I use to fish Bass in the local Monksville Reservoir but the state turned it into a big Musky ,Walleye impoundment .I need to take advantage of it's closeness but there will be a learning curve .

LOVE THE WALLEYES !  FANTASTIC EATING FISH!    MY AREA WATER;; JUST DOESNT HOLD ABUNDANT NUMBERS OF THESE ;; MAKES IT VERY HARD TO LOCATE THEM
