So I've either been pretty lucky or I fish to much.  Anyway, I gathered all my fish tags from some of the walleye I've caught in the last 6 years, since they quit making you send in the tag itself for the return info. Seems I need 3 more tags to finish a neat plact idea, I plan on making and hanging next to my 11.7 pounder I have on the wall. If they made a walleye call, I'd hang them on my lanyard while fishing, like the goose hunters do when hunting. :) Attachments ----------------  IM000877.JPG (56KB - 76 downloads) | ||

Just a few more and you will be able to spell! Excuse my levity. 540,000 may be a little low.  But it seems your understanding of what is written, is what is in question. If you read what my post says, it says just 3 more tags and I'll be able to complete and spell the word walleye. But I'm sure the initial thought of me catching 540,000 walleyes had you shaken up a bit. Edited by walleye express 3/29/2005 3:27 PM | ||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | I may have taken some liberty with the facts. Oh, not the fact that about 1 in 30,000 do indeed have tags. But the fact that where I caught most of these tagged fish was in their natal rivers, where most of them return every spring and fall. So the odds go up considerably. I found it amusing though, that he might actually believe, that I was insinuating or actually believe I've caught 540,000 walleyes, even in my 45 year experience of catching them. I blame myself for posting silly crap like that anyaway. I'm such an easy target aint I? | ||

| Obviously only the dumb ones are tagged. At least they are dumb enough to get caught twice. Sorry for the unintended comment on your fishing skill | |||
