We also caught one with a transmitter, guess it had only been in the water a couple days and hadn't traveled very far.

While back I landed a walleye with a transmitter in it , fish only traveled about a mile in 2 weeks before she became a dinner
 They want it back so they can insert into another eye

that is so cool Fred

It will be interesting to see the results of the study.

Catching a fish with a transmitter is pretty cool. Glad Shane got his rod back, there are some honest people out there.

I've never seen one of those transmitters. How Big is it and where is it located in the fish ?

 1”x1/2” , only reason  I knew was I heard something hit the bottom  bucket when I dropped the carcass in

I had just read the article about the transmitter when I caught the fish with this one. the implant was so recent you could still see the incision and stitches on the fish's belly. Wish I had thought to take a picture of that.

That would have been great to see that
 I never looked I just ran the knife down its sides 😃

[wallyworld]

It was a very fresh incision still looking red and swollen. The stitches were black and the knot was visible. We always flip them over once out of the net to see if they have a clipped fin from the hatchery

seems like a rather large item for a 20 " or so fish to have poked into his belly. By comparison, a 6' person would have close to a 6" club in his belly. ouch

Must make them hungry

Cornell.

Telemetry study - They will tag 100 walleyes this fall. Then another 100 walleyes will be tagged in the spring of 2024. There will be 64 receivers spaced around the lake every 2 kilometers (sunken buoys designed to hopefully not be snagged). The data will not be real time. If we catch a walleye with an internal tag we should save the tag and there will be a phone number / email address to contact Cornell to return the tag.
