that fish is a walleye

ORIGINAL: fishlesswonder

Looks like a sauger to me...Can see the distinct saddle bags on the back, the small white spot on the tail and the more distinct white stomach. If the pic was a little clearer I could tell a bit easier.

then it would be a saugeye not a sauger.  Saugeye and walleyes are the only ones of the 3 to have a white tip on the bottom of the tail.
but sauger and saugeye both have distint saddle lines that go down their sides while the walleye does not. This fish is a walleye with out a doubt

yikes.

on a similar topic....

for those of you who fish by yourself, how the hell do you manage to land the fish, keep all of your tackle from going haywire, get your camera, not hurting the fish, not having the fish flopping around, and take a halfway decent picture?

Fish doesn't come out of the water unless and until I'm ready to take the pic. I hold my breath...quick pic and release. If I can't get it done in one breath, the fish gets released and the pic has to wait until next time.

I'm just here for the chics.

the man speaks truth.  Pick them up... beagler?

Well, they kept asking about how to pick up chicks. So when they ask I show them with a picture

They probably haven't got a clue what a saugeye looks like if they came from a certain large body of water with no sauger in it

I ran into a PFBC biologist while fishing the 3-rivers a few years back.  He politely informed me that the "sauger" I had kept was actually a saugeye.  He went on to state that there is virtually no discernible distinction between a sauger and saugeye other than the spot pattern on the dorsal and coloration at the base of the tail.  He also told me that someone fishing in the 3-rivers would not be cited for a keeping a sublegal saugeye (15" min) that was improperly identified as a sauger (12" min) provided it was >12".

Yup. Those are sauger. Just like the other you caught.

i'm 110% sure you are all full of ****, because thats a creek chub

dude that isn't Halupki ok?  halupka like you jenna, you know that

well, Jenna, when I walk to a stream, i make sure i have my fly rod in my hand.

but, when i start wading, i look around to make sure loomis is not around and wacky rig power worms.  heck, i even post threads about this fishing as it does take some skill.

i frequently break from the fishing to snack... my cholesterol has been up so cheetos are gone as well as hot dogs.  I'm not onto sardines and crackers, but little does my wife know, i slip stringed cheese in there and stop at the gas station to pick up sticky buns just in case i get a craving.

that sure is a biggun. I don't know if I could handle that one.

Shutup,

what's your cell? We need to fish.  I will show you how to wallis correctly ok?  Will show you proper technique.  heard rumors that you snag?
