The biggest perch that Iv caught was 18 inches long. Id say he weighed a good 3lb.
I munched on 2 Wallyeye sandwiches last night. I anoint them with Steen's Louisiana Cane Vinegar......Yamma-Goochie!!!!!!!
Purchase it direct from Steen's it is cheaper.

I did go by and get one last night. It was pretty darn good but could have used a bit of seasoning. I'll have to doctor it up a little next time.
The link to Steen's. This is my go to vinegar it is the best. It tastes like a lite italian balsamic vinegar, only much better. Put this on your Walleyed pike sandwich and your eyes will roll up in your head. Same for fish n chips,

i never caught a walleye off the bottom.
i grew up walleye fishing in wi.
we used a syringe to inject air into nightcrawlers and a slip weight so that they would not sit on the bottom of the river

That's old fashioned Anishinaabe Ojibwe fare there, Tom. We didn't "do frybread" or the other guvment shite up at Bad River or the Apostle Islands.
PS: Incidentally, a good-sized and edible (it was delicious) walleye was the first "big" fish I caught, I was about 9-10, not too far from Hayward (Wisconsin), somewhere out on the Chippewa Flowage.

QFT.... even w/ the spelling "eaten", which in a certain sense, is fitting as is.Best eaten fish on the planet

Nope, they are not considered to be bottom feeders. Their eyesight allows them to feed on prey near the bottom of deep and turbid waters and in low light conditions. As far as bottom feeding fish are concerned, catfish are considered to be one of the tastiest and most consumed freshwater fish.
i used to fish the chippewa river just northwest of the holcombe flowage

Grew up catching and eating walleye in Ohio, PA and Canada. Now Lake Erie produces an amazing amount of them annually and is considered one of the best places to fish for tasty (smaller ones) and trophy walley..... Growing up so close to "the mistake on the Lake", few folks ate any fish from Lake Erie - perch, walley, small mouth, salmon, catfish, etc - but the concern/stigma has reduce a lot over the last +25 years....
If you haven't had pan-fried walley and pancakes yet, I would suggest you give it a go....... My dad made us this for the first time back in the 60s (I thought he was hung over the morning he made this in our truck camper) but it is still one of the most memorable and best breakfasts I've ever eaten. This was way before I ever heard of fried chicken and pancakes....

@Tom Brennan, just out of curiosity what’s the name of that restaurant? That far north WI area was my stomping grounds for a while and I still go back there frequently, so if there’s a good pan fried walleye available, I’d like to know about it.
