Just looked that way. Not that crimping barbs would seem to make much difference on a treble hook but fish and wildlife agency regs can often be head scratching.The ones I have aren't pinched.

Second opinion here, the tastiest fish that swims in fresh water. Very mild and simple to fillet.details bro.
what are they?
how do they fight?
how easy/hard to clean?
beat way to cook/eat them?
Had to postpone our annual Canada trip from June to late August because of the border closing. The Walleye will be deeper then so I may have to order some of dj's lures. Plus, well, a reason to order new lures.Those are walleye. (Cept the little yellow striped guy far right is a yellow perch)
They aren't known for their fighting prowess. Occasionally the girls will throw down with you in the end, usually as you get them in the light at the surface or they see you try to net them, but they aint no small mouth.
Anyway sizewise, this is one of the girls on the right 3-5 in, not sure which one

Super tasty. Cleaning is a take the fillet off each side operation with some pin bones in the midline.
Deep fry, bake with panko, I'm going to do some in butter on cast iron and cajun later... Will post pics
Fun side note...
Was sorta of a slow day at first... Wont bore you with our old school fishing details... But wasn't going great so we switched to trolling with this as my weapon...

These 3.5 inch swimbaits are a great multi species bait.

Thanks. I've got quite a few sizes/colors of jigheads and swimbaits that can work well (along with hard baits and spoons). I actually use a plastic similar to that on crawler harnesses when I usually go in June when the walleye are shallower. I was just thinking those deep divers might be a mandatory addition to my arsenal (just in case none of my other similar deep divers workThese 3.5 inch swimbaits are a great multi species bait.

What I like about those Bandits is that someone finally painted a bait worth using. Nine times out of ten painters start with the same Chinese blanks that everyone else is using. The Bandit 300 is one Hell of a great bait. The walleye deep divers are no doubt worth owning.Thanks.

I bought some of my first fishing stuff at that store. But first I always grabbed a pouch of Work Horse at the Duke station.They sell those at Rink's on Marysville Pike.
What kind of setup do you use to troll deep diving plugs? I've never fished that way before?Reef runners are awesome deep divers too, I don't think many people custom paint them because they come in a bazillion scheme already. But for whatever reason the metallic baits were the right ones... And well, those are the metallic ones I buy
