[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 88325, member: 366"] There's definitely a lot of things that have to go right to produce a "teener". I did a fly in up in Ontario a while back and the lake was a Trophy Waters lake. What that meant is the only fish that are kept are one or two 14-16 inch "lunchers" per person for a shore lunch and the rest go back. They have been doing that on this lake ~20 years now. About 16 of us fished for 4 days for about 10 hours a day. One 30 inch fish that might have tickled the upper 9's was was the biggest of the week. We caught piles of fish, but there still wasn't a plethora of trophy fish. I caught around 300 walleyes in 4 days and the best one I landed was 25-26 inches. I like to see the big girls go back as well. Anything over 23-24" feels a bit slobbish to cut up, but one might get knifed here and there. Most things I have read usually lean towards having a balanced fishery as far as size structure. I don't think most anglers are going out with the intention of trying to keep limits of 5-10lb walleyes. [/QUOTE]
