[QUOTE="bigv, post: 173202, member: 835"] I agree that mounting a fish...and I do mean on the wall, is in the eye of the beholder. I've never seen a rep that looked realistic or even good. By the way our local fisheries guy told me a few yrs ago that once the water temp is over 70 degrees walleye have an 80%mortality rate when released. Even if you catch them and toss back quick and they dart to bottom. Odds are they will die. He did a long study on that. He also said that the main healthy egg layers are eyes in the 17-25in range. Fish bigger usually don't have a lot of healthy eggs. Should prob eat them I guess...especially if caught mid summer in warm water. [/QUOTE]
