| For those who like to read.

The report is somewhat dated, the fact that it took 4 years to publish after the inital study, suggests the data integrity is valid. There were some additional years added to the study which are not part of this report, but can be found online.
If my math is right the study points out that 27-27.5" walleyes are around 15 years old, living in the Mi waters of Green Bay. ( 27-27.5" is conservative in my math I rounded up, it could easily be closer to 26", but you can be the judge of your own math  )
From my own expierence I've released every jaw tagged fish I've caught, But I wouldn't be surprised to know that the jaw tag has been on a few of those fish for more than a couple years judging by the amount of moss growing on the jaw tag.

| No because you stated your motor is 8 years aged and you can't afford to make long runs with it because if you blow the powerhead, the money from the winnings from the upcoming MWS tournament wouldn't cover the expense to fix it. Jeeeeeeeeezzzzzz no wonder you want good insurance |

| I thought the question was how long it takes for a fish to reach full size 27-30 inch?
Just because an old fish is 28 inchs doesnt mean it just got there? tag info is great, however, you need alot of it to get any accuracy. We need a real fish biolgist. jayman, the general and budsbud66 isnt cutting it. |

| hahahaha Lifespan, I've heard the old addage never judge a book by it's cover, but you didn't even make it to the cover page.
Philip J. Schneeberger is a research biologist with the Michigan DNR, it's his report. I simply converted from mm to inches. Phil only went out to 15 years on his charts.

Location: Badgerland | General, if I pay my premiums on time you can't deny me coverage, Barrack says so. Also a factor playing in is if I tourny fished 4 out of 5 weekends in a row, my wife would change the locks.

Location: Manitowoc WI | good article and all Jason, but its quite out dated "1988-96" and several references to the 1970's..
We have had several different invasive create a new forage base for walleyes in the past 10 years. GB walleyes now can feast day and night and never stop.
And i know if feasted day and night and never stopped what would happen to my growth And like fast growing walleyes, and unhealthy male humans. grow larger quicker.. die young |

Location: Rhinelander | Brian and Larry got a few nice fish Sunday. Three crowding 9, and several they released that were 27 or better. Not all 10's, but some good ones. They were 40 plus miles north of Green Bay fishing the same water they were hitting during the FLW. |

Because, obviously, no one has ever caught any walleyes there before, no one had a clue they were there before the last couple weeks, and everyone who fishes those areas limits every time.
I'm sure no one knows about University Bay, either.
