420 day lasts a little longer for some.

I wonder if the girth calculation is off, due to that thing being full of eggs?

Huge fish anyway you slice it

I'm scratching my head here. Don't see what the Bismarck School Board has to do with walleyes.

alright. LOL. I totally bought into it. I'm dense on a good day. Extra dense on a day when I'm not 100%. At least I wasn't alone, eh Vollmer?

truthfully, when I figured this out, I had a good laugh..

Beautiful fish. But I've been around a couple egged up females in that 15 lb range and non had a girth close to that. "21.5" was the biggest" As a matter of fact I'd venture to guess 24.5" would be a world record girth for a walleye.

I must be pegging out the denseometer. I still don't get it. Kinda half skimming through while I run a 40 ton machine, but still.

Did Lycan just get a new shipment of vanilla?

Lycan read the thread, then went 180 degrees the opposite way, as a joke. I didn't see it coming. Actually, it's quite funny.

To my credit, I was out sick yesterday, and probably still should be home in bed.

 

[Kurtr]

So does the school board want slot limits?

 

[JayKay]

whoa whoa WHOA!! Let's try to remember what this thread is about.. helicopter pilots.

Jeez guys.

Huh, I've never tried that. Does that work over time? I mean, has it worked out to be true?

If you are measuring with a bump board and a real nice/flexible tape(girth) it has been within 5% give or take for me. If you measure over the top of the fish with a tape you are going to add at least an inch to a big fish. Getting a tight read with a good tape on girth is also important.

I make sure to not tell anyone the weight of my said walleyes until after I see the pictures, then embellish accordingly!
