Last year's walleye...

Just thought I'd try posting a pic and show off the walleye that my girlfriend's grandfather caught in the scap net last striper season. As you can see, she weighed over seven pounds. I'm not sure if this is a good size for the river or not, but it's the first and only one I've ever held.

That's a nice eye from any water, beauty. Nice white caudal fin tip too!

 Yeah, thanks. At first we thought  he had netted a small striper (this was at night) but when I shined the light in the net, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had no idea that the walleyes had progressed this far in the Hudson. I tell you, that river is getting cleaner and cleaner all the time. If it hasn't rained for a while, you can see down at least 6 or 7 feet.

What point on the river did you get him at?
The river's made a huge comeback.... but it's still got a way to go.

 Down near the Germantown Boat launch. I guess I should clarify- when I commented on how far walleyes had progressed, I was referring to the size of the fish. I knew they were in there, but I figured they were in the 1-3 pound range.

That it has and does. I just hope this dredging project they are about to launch doesn't screw things up again. Any time the government tries to fix something it always makes me nervous.

I know the eyes are in there, just curious where ya got him...I bet this dang dredging is going to screw up the shad and striper runs.

 Well, fortunately for me, I fish well to the south of the dredging. However, I'm not sure if it will effect anything. The stripers have survived worse as a species- let's just keep our fingers crossed!
