If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

Great pics, Dave. Some fine eating as well.
How thick is the ice? We had 16" of ice under our house. How do you get the Mercury out of them Dave??
Nice shanty! Doesn't look like anyone even got their slippers wet...lol... Yeah the "perry the pltypus" slippers were funny. I'm not sure how you get mercury out of a fish, I don't recall what exactly the consuption advice/guidlines are for LOW walleye but I don't think it's too bad. I think it's one meal per week or something like that.
Something clever here.

Mercury accumulates in fats as I recall and removing that roll of blubbery stuff that lies in against the ribs will remove most of it. Some folks remove the ribs as well.

I do that, when I'm done cutting walleye the rib liner, ribs and "belly meat" are gone.
A lot of folks leave that little strip of what I call "belly meat" under the rib cage, I don't.

Been way too many years since I've filleted a walleye. I need to retire.

Great pics! Looks like fun! We had good luck spearing as well. I have enough to make a batch of pickled northern now in the freezer.

years ago, I decided that when I took this job, I was going to either hunt or fish, but not both. I chose hunting. I do it a lot and I travel to hunt as well as hunt local. My rods have been put away for years. I think I've fished maybe 3 times since 92 and all of those were out of state (Minnesota mostly). In the meantime, I took up competitive shooting and that really cuts into time and budgets to do it seriously. So, fishing waits and I have to make do vicariously, swooning over pictures of buckets of frozen walleyes and perch. My day will come.

That is not nearly enough fishing. It's a new year, time for a new plan.

It's not a new paycheck or a new job though. So no new plan yet. I am going to buy a canoe this year. I have one but it has to go. So, I'll be on the water. But fishing in Iowa - not worth it. If I get up to MN, and esp, the BWCA, then certainly. But I will probably focus on running a river out west instead. Most are not so fishable.
Of course, that is assuming there is water - somewhere!

Awesome!! Fluffy! I like the highlife shirt too. Congrats again on the wolf, you're in the history books now, and it looks like Chickenbuck if Hollywood bound.

That is too cool! Thanks for the link. You did a great job in the interview, fluffy. You came across really well and made hunters look good, as opposed to how some comport themselves on this website. Next time, you gotta take better pictures in the field though Maybe Mrs ND could give lessons. I could use them too.
